FEBRERO!
Wow... I´m getting close to giving birth! 8 month along in the mission?! What is this?! Ayy ayy ayy... I don´t like to think about that... because I still have SOOOO much to learn. So much to do in so little time!  

Just a heads up we got home super late from the temple, so I´m only going to write a little bit and be done with emails for this week.  The temple was absolutely AMAZING! I understood it all in Spanish.  Really whether or not I understood it or not doesn´t matter at all, because the spirit there was AMAZING! Oh how I´ve missed the temple. I also took a second to think about those who we´ve lost this year. It really is amazing how thin the veil is there, because they were surely near. I LOVE THE TEMPLE!  I´m already anxious to return.

As for this week we had an excellent week. We had interviews with President. He´s excellent!!! He is a very wise man; he´d get along well with dad. We were able to set some goals that we will discuss in our next interview, so I´m excited about that. It gave me so much desire to improve on so many things! He knows exactly how to motivate me, and knows exactly what I need to hear. Or rather, he´s inspired and receives revelation.  

We had an excellent surprise at church! After interviews I was carrying home a box of book of Mormon´s (I was Dying....am I weak or what?)) anyway, as we arrive at our house a man approached us and asked what time our church started. We gave him a book of mormon, and he said he was going to come. Sure enough, he showed up on Sunday. That never happens! Even better, he showed up with his Book of Mormon. He is INCREDIBLE. This sunday was the most amazing testimony meeting as well. Everyone was bearing testimony about how this is the one and only true church. I don´t know what changed, but that was just the most amazing Sunday. Moral of the story is that he is excellent and that we have an appointment with him tomorrow. He asked us if he should have facturas (mom you would love these. There like doughnuts... lots of them have custard). Everybody that came up to him he would tell them how grateful he was for ¨Hermana Wright and Diaz¨who invited him to come. Seriously, he is going to be the best sacerdote. I´m already planning his life in the church.

Crazy story... We were visiting this less active family that we always visit, but come to find out a group of people are trying to kill her son. All this mess started with his girlfriend. His brother snuck in from the back because they were waiting on the other side. And that´s when we decided that we should get out of there. Ha crazy eh? Bishop said we can´t go back there for a while because he doesn´t want us anywhere close to that. Sooo don´t worry, we´re kept safe here. Pretty sad though, because there life is hectic ever since they dropped coming to church. It´s an interesting story because I don´t think she realizes the importance of church. Sad sad sad how many stories there are like that. 

Anyway, all is going well for us. We are having more and more success each and every week. Hermana Diaz and I sure are getting along well. I´ve realized what a blessing it is that she doesn´t speak English. There are many so missionaries that want to learn so they only speak in English. We are working on her English, but she helps me BASTANTE con mi español. The most important is that she is willing to work.  Transfers are this coming Monday, but I´m thinking that we´re going to stay another transfer. We´ll see though. 

Hope all is going well for you! I had a funny dream with all my friends together returned from their missions. We were telling mission stories. Some day that´ll be a real scene. Somewhere in there mom came in the room, because apparently I yelled LIZ in my sleep. Haha ya... I´m still my rare self with my odd sleeping habits. Poor Hma. Diaz. ANyway, just know that I´m always thinking and praying for you. Even in my sleep! Haha Love you all so much, have a fantastic week!
