What's up everyone!? This week was a pretty eventful week and it went by rather fast. We are already in the middle of July which shocks me but it's a good thing lol. 

First things first we got transfer news this week and I will be staying in my area with my same comp. It will be fun because we have a lot of people who are getting ready for Baptism. Speaking of Baptism our friend Rachel was baptized this last Saturday. She is the daughter of the Relief Society President and I don't know why she hadn't been baptized lol. She is 15 and decided that now she wanted to be baptized so we taught her all the lessons and got it done. She was extremely nervous but now she is chilling and super happy! After the baptism the ward members threw a party with cake and soda so that was lit. Also fun fact our District Presidents wife served her mission in Texas! Like crazy I had never heard of a Dominican getting called to the states. That is like all of their dreams lol. 

Other than the baptism this week was chill with a lot of lessons. We haven't had any real food to eat in the house since Friday but luckily members have clutched and fed us and also miracles have happened. On Friday night we were walking to a lesson at 8:15 and I was so hungry and tired and I had 15 pesos which is basically 30 cents. I went to a colmado and asked for a small juice. The lady ended up giving us juice and a muffin for free. She told us thanks for all the work we do. I knew that was an answer to a prayer I had said a few minutes previously because I was dying of hunger with no food lol. 

This week I have refocused on my studies in the Book of Mormon. I love that book so much. It is so true when Russell M. Nelson says when we study in the Book of Mormon we will be able to overcome temptations more easy. Truly have seen this come to life in the mission. I love the Book of Mormon and I know that is has power to change your life!
