Family and friends,
Well guess what? I'm a mom again! This week we had changes and my comp Sister Rodriguez got called to serve in El Salvador, and I received a baby again. Baby number five, oh yeah! Her name is Sister DeLeon and she is 19, and is from Guatemala and she only has six weeks in the mission. Funny enough she only has a family of four, and she has a sister that is sixteen too. ha Luckily she speaks pretty great English and she's really excited to learn more about how to be a missionary and is excited to work in San Ignacio with me. My streak of training and only having a companion for six weeks continues! haha
Well this week has been a pretty crazy one because on Wednesday we had interviews with President and his wife, Thursday we had a multizone and a sister conference in Belize City, Saturday we had breakfast with the Rinderknechts, and Sunday we found out about changes. The interviews went great and I loved being able to see President and his wife. Others of you may think that your mission president and his wife are the best, but I'm sorry President and Hermana Hintze take the cake! At the multizone we learned a lot about being greatful, trusting in the Lord and our companions, and we learned about the importance of really helping your investigators to progress. At the sister conference my companion and I taught about "teaching people not lessons" We cut out different body parts from the Ensigns and we put the sisters in groups and had them put the people together. The people looked silly, but we talked about how every investigator is unique and it's important to teach to their needs. ha We also talked about the importance of using the scriptures and following the spirit. On Saturday we had breakfast with our zone at Elder and Sister Rinderknecht's house and it was a lot of fun. We had fun chatting and the french toast/fruit/eggs that we ate were to die for. I definitely left thier house with a smile.
Things are going pretty great, I'm still in same area, but we have a couple of great investigators that are progressing. We're teaching a pair of sisters that are adorable and they love the gospel and they are really wanting to learn more. I believe that they will be baptized at the end of this month or early May. We also found a 17 year old boy and he is adorable. He's just so innocent and ready to learn. He loves the gospel and he came to church with us last week for the first time and he wants to be baptized. The work is starting to pick up here and I'm excited to see what's going to happen in these next few weeks with my new comp.
Well there's my week for ya, I'm really receiving great blessing from all of your prayers. Remember that we can do nothing without the help of the Lord and that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is something that we should use everyday. I know that Heavenly Father loves us so much and in our times of trials He will always find a way to help us get through them and give us the comfort that we need.Well guess what? I'm a mom again!

Silly San Ignacio:
So I finally did it..I finally crashed on my bike. ha Sister Rodriguez stayed with one of our investigators at the church while sister Reyes and I went to go pick up an investigator and, as you all know I'm not the most coordinated person in the world, I was concentrating on where we needed to go and I wasn't paying much attention to anything else and I took a corner wrong and totally biffed it. But I didn't just biff it on any corner, I happen to fall right in front of a church that has all open doors and windows, so I didn't look like a fool just in front of Sister Reyes, but also in front of an entire church. Yup that's style baby! No worries thought, I didn't break anything, I just scraped up my left leg and my right hand really, really bad. ha After falling I rolled over real quickly and said I'm okay! ha We went to the investigators house and of course he wasn't home, but luckily his mom was and she was able to help clean up my scrapes and what not.
