hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhi,
Whew, it´s hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhot. My clothes leave indentions on my skin and hurt because the humidity makes me swell up. Sounds swell, huh?...swell? get it?! ahahahaha It might be affecting my brain as well...unclear...

"Miraclestory: Some members know about Fátima´s fecha now after consejo de barrio and congratulated her at church and she flipped out. It was all just too much for her to handle and she left halfway through church. Her husband came to find us and tell us. We decided to pray and then go visit her. She was frustration cleaning (an automatic emotional coping mechanism for most females or something, or so I´m told--I just go play basketball…) But she was trying to keep it together and couldn´t and burst (literally) into tears. We tried to comfort her and she just kept saying she didn´t want to get baptized. I had no idea what to say so I was praying. We told her not to worry and we wouldn´t talk about or plan her baptism until she told us to and we just talked and she calmed down. We had an appointment with her for later in the afternoon so we told her we would still come back. I felt like we needed some study time after mediodía because we didn´t get it with church. We studied personally and as a companionship and Hna Pazuengo reminded me that we had talked a lot about Fátima while watching "The District" segment about Laura. So we watched it again and decided to watch it with her--it covers her conversion process and how she was baptized even though she initially had lots of doubts and didn´t want to set a date. So we watched it for the visit and she really liked it and was able to relate, which is what she needs with her personality. At the end we promised her again that we wouldn´t talk about baptism until she brought it up with us…and she said that she had thought about it and felt good and wanted to keep her fecha for the 25th of August.   What a miracle!!!
Isaac´s baptism was great and really showed what happens when you have the support of the ward and Bishop. Things ran relatively smoothly and there was such a great spirit there.  His smile is contagious and I can see him as a future missionary. I feel strongly that his strength and example will help bring his father back into the fold."

Wow, what to say about this week? Things are great here and it seems like so many other areas are struggling for whatever reason right now in the mission...but personally, this transfer has been harder for me, even though I know I shouldn´t complain. It has been great and better than any other, but harder than any other, too. I don´t know how to explain it. But we keep smiling and plugging along
:-)

We are not getting the new piso :-((((( the dueña is nuts. (Landlord) so we are looking again. Patience and diligence anyone? Oh well, what can you do? Things will work out when they need to, I just have to hang in there.

Speaking of hanging in there, I can´t believe transfers are this week and I have NO idea what I am going to do when Connor leaves. I have a mental block up...first bad sign. We´ll cross that bridge when it comes...Well, we are in a sketchy locutorio after spending the day with other Hnas which was so fun, but exhausting and now we have to run home to change and go read with Fátima. We are reading with her every day to prevent future breakdowns and cleaning frenzies.  haha  I love her so much. We are the same age! Weird right? I know.
Love ya´ll bunches and thanks for keeping me going. MUAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
