THE FIELD IS WHITE ALREADY TO HARVEST!!! Another Week Down :-)

Hey family how are you all doin?  Im doing great!! Sister this is your birthday  We had a good week as a zone in the baptisms, we had 14 baptisms as a zone, we did a noche blanca, that is like a massive baptism, where we had all 14 baptisms together so that was pretty cool, but really stressful.  I would rather not to that anymore because It is to much to worry about, and it took forever to get all 14 baptized.  But elder zea and I had a baptism.  Briggite, she is 16 and already has a 2 month old baby, but her mom and dad were already members, and she wanted to get baptized.  But really slow, it was hard for her to understand anything that we taught her, that was hard but we finally got her to understand a little bit.  And now we are just working on two lawyers that we are teaching for this week, and we will see what happens.  They never have any time during the week so we can only teach them on saturday night, and they have been to church twice, and they are gonna have their interview this sunday before church for their baptism, and now we just gotta find more people to teach, we barely have time to work in our sector because of all the stuff we have had to do.  And today for p day i will be doing a move, helping el pino move into their room that we found them on tuesday. So that should be fun...............
But what else have I done this week, not really a whole lot.  The landlord put a new toilet in our room and so that was good, but now there is a bigger problem, there isnt any water now in our room, so it has been a joke to shower this week, and man kinda frustrating, the life in Peru, it has its ups and downs, but so so so grateful for an awesome house that is waiting for me when I get home... hahah hahah And did tanner get a change?  he didnt write me and tell me!! And where did Camila and her family move to? Thats awesome mom that you got to go to st george, im excited to go back down and cruise on my scoot.  and ya it is starting to get a little colder here, haha it is gettting hot for alll of you, and cold for me.  Wish it were the other way around hahah  it rained a little today when we got up. Ok I sent you the pictures of the noche blanca and of briggite and her family, briggite lives up on the hill, so everytime that we went to teach her, we had to go up 101 stairs, elder zea counted  haha but just trying to hang in there until the end of the change......  the zone seems to be doing good, we need to put more baptismal dates with our investigators but we will just keep working and see what happens.  We have 25 confirmations until now and we need to get 15 more to get our goal of 40 baptisms.  So just hoping to be able to do it.  And ya send me a t shirt that sounds great, and when is girls camp?  thanks for sending me a new tie, as you can see i didnt have one to baptize this week ahah.  and what else do i need?  um....  just maybe big wipes hahah.  Sorry that this email is pretty boring, I just dont know what else to tell ya....
Ok now I am sending you a picture of michell that I baptized.  I interviewed her and I asked her who she wanted to baptize her and she said that she wanted me to baptize her, so i baptized her.  But her story is pretty cool, one day elder zea and I were in the chapel and her and her mom got to the church and waited at the door because they saw us, and so I went and opened the door and they said, is there mass right now and we said no there isnt but if youd like you can see the church building, they said ok.  and so we showed them around. and then passed their reference to the other missionaries in san luis and she got baptized, and then the other lady is a old lady and all three of us had to baptize her, and man it was awesome.  When she came out of the water she was splashing around because water got in her nose, and then she raised her arms up and yelled , glory to God, hahah man I tried not to smile to much but it just made me so happy that there are people out there waiting for baptism, just gotta find people like her htat have the desire to do it.  It  was so funny at the same time, this lady with water in her nose and yelling glory to God in the font, haha it was pretty awesome.  But love all of you , thanks for your support hope that everything keeps going good for all of you, everything is good here.  Just gonna work hard this week, if my companion lets me, thats my challenge right now, is that I cant work How i would like to... but next change Ill kill it again..  Love you all very much..
