9 Months Baby!!

It´s coming up!!! I have transfers this week.... again! I can´t
believe how fast time flies, and it´s going by even faster... drum roll... My nine-month mark is Saturday!!!! That´s
right, Half way!!! How weird! I can´t believe it, I only have nine-ish
more months to be a missionary. Oh wow... odd...
We have no Idea what is going to happen. We think we are going to
stay together as companions, but how many times have I said that and
we switch? So... vamos a ver. We´re going to see. (Learn that phrase
Kyle - you´ll use it a lot)
Unfortunately this week..I broke my only watch (somebody stole
my other two). Fortunately, I bought a new one!  Unfortunately, it
stopped working the next day, Fortunately, we decided to go and get it
exchanged for a new one. Unfortunately, today is a holiday, and the store was
closed. Yep... so I have to wait for next week. ;(
I had my second talk yesterday in Sacrament meeting. Failed miserably,
but all is well. My companion, lol she gave the bajar la caña (chastising) talk of
a life time... you could hear a pin drop. It was about members being
member missionaries... and every single person had their head down...
I was so shocked... The part that made it even more of a bajar la caña
is the fact that when Hermana Lopez teaches, she doesn´t smile. She´s very
serious about what she is talking about. So... ya, it was a little
painful to listen to. But we had an awesome member unite our
talks to kind of soften the blow.  We´ll see how that goes.
So, I´ve been re-reading the Book of Mormon (Mom told me about the
challenge Dad gave the Ward, and I´m set on doing it.). I just
finished Alma, and I don´t know why people have a problem with that chapter.
They say it´s all about the wars (true, a lot of wars are
in the book of Alma) but it´s only about 10 chapters, and the rest is
all about missionary work. It´s awesome! And, there is so much we can
learn from the wars. I loved it! I´m having a blast reading it, and
I´m getting a whole lot of information. My suggestion for
all of you, especially Kyle: Read the book of Mormon again. 
Set a goal to highlight key phrases, scriptures or something like that. Try
marking how many times it tells us to keep the commandments... I´ll
tell you, it´s a lot! Love it, read it, enjoy it. :)
All it well here, trying our hardest get more investigators, but it
seams that the more we try to get investigators, the more inactive
members we have... it´s weird, but they need our help as well. Maybe our
work here is to work with inactive members, not find investigators.
Well find out.
Thank you for your prayers everyday, your support, and your letters. I
love hearing about your adventures, your stories, and everything else.
I would love to hear from everyone. So... if you could. please do. :)
as Nephi said through his example, I will go I will do... ;)
I love you all so much. I love this gospel with all my heart. This is
the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the only way we can have eternal life. The
only way to true happiness. Be strong, be safe, trust in the Lord.
