Hola Mamacita!

To be honest, I'm only going to be on my mission for 2 more months after Christmas... sooooo I really don't need anything.  Seriously.  Thank you for being so thoughtful though!  Everything is going well with our investigators on date! We stopped by the Pardo's home and Nathalia and Karen were painting their fence. So we talked with them and they were just talking about how much better their life was since we have been visiting them. They are so darling! 

The Elders in our ward had a baptism and it was so beautiful. The woman being baptized is named Zaira and she had been taught for 7 months. So there were 5 Elders that came that had all previously taught her. Then President Jardine baptized her (she got the idea from Jose's baptism). There were senior office missionaries there and the APs were there. Half the people there were missionaries! One of the Elders came from Rama 7 in South Sac and he came with a member, Hno Ramirez!  

He baptized the Claros girls back in February when I was there!  I was so happy to see him!!  Anyone from Sacramento Rama 7 makes me happy!  Hna Stout and I gave the missionary moment.  Hna Stout is doing so well with her Spanish!  I am so happy for her!  She has become very discourage about her Spanish lately, but everyone that I talked to after the baptism commented on how good her Spanish was.  I am so proud of her!  She has only been out for 5 months and she is so good at really bringing in the spirit!

If I am transferred next week, everything will be okay.  I'll come back for the baptisms!  Haha I'm at the point where I really don't care if I get transferred.  Bring on packing and moving number 7 if needs be!  I love my area, but if it's not where the Lord wants me next transfer, then I don't want to be here. 

Para Siempre Dios este con Vos

Con Amor,

Hermana Twitchell

We did service on Saturday where we raked leaves at a camp site. This fun native Central American thing was going on! It was so cool! They were doing it from 5am to 8pm!
