"Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."

Dear world,
I love the end of the month because Elder Dalton comes into Barcy for concilio! We got to spend some time together this morning and I loved it! And here is another miracle story, just in case that one´s not enough for you...

"I have learned a lot this week. Lots of following and learning by the Spirit. First, a miracle story:
Yesterday, we had to rearrange our schedule because some people fired and Fátima had to meet at a different time. It has been hard adjusting to making all the decisions again because Hna Pazuengo is so new and doesn´t feel like she can participate as much in the decision-making process as I think she can. I had a big personal breakthrough in some soul-searching  Saturday and learned that the only way I am going to find the balance I am always seeking in my life is by following the Spirit. True balance is following the Spirit. So how does this all relate? I decided to put what I had learned into practice and asked what we should do and then waited for the answer. I felt like we should have a CR Maria Rosa help us with the visit with Fátima and Hna Pazuengo said she had the same thought during our class at church. Evidence that she is receiving revelation for our area and I need to work on helping her recognize it and having confidence in her. So we met with Maria Rosa and then took her with us to Fátima´s. It was great and EXACTLY what she  needed. Listening to the Spirit takes the stress and pressure out of missionary work. It´s so nice. You just have to ask and then go do."

So...the people on the other end of our new piso are dragging their feet and we have to be out of this one by Wed...so we might be slightly better off than homeless in the Elder´s old piso...which has 25 yrs of Elders damage to it...such as my favorite-no light in the bathroom or warm water...which equals cold showers in the dark or freezing showers by candlelight. Pray for us. Fasting might be necessary.

Just when you think it can´t get hotter...I noticed fior the first time that you can see the sweat on my arm hairs. It dries when I got inside and it white. Then liquifies in the sun. SO neat, right? I know :-)>

I´m kind of jealous about family vacation because it sounds so good, but the sacrifice is worth it. Tell Josh hi! Wowzers. Can´t wait to see him. And the King´s new house-it sounds great. Connor said to remind everyone of the "fall" and the cone of shame.ahahahahaha

We had 10 investigators come to church and 4 of them were new! The members and work here is incredible. We just show up and try to talk to everyone and schedule appointments.haha Such miracles every week.
This computer is so slow, I´m trying to upload pics-we´ll see what we get.

Hna Stephenson and I talk a lot and I´m making great personal discoveries like every day. I love it! Finally figuring lots of things out!

Can´t wait to hear about the rest of the vacation and as soon as we get to the new piso, I´ll give you the address. If not, we are always close to the office so you can just send stuff there.

I love you all so much. Your emails keep me going some days. And the rest of the days it is the memories that we have together that make it all worth it. ¡Siga adelante!

Con amor,
Hna Clarissa Dalton
