Valle - "Come What May and Love It"

Dear Family!

   I honestly don't even know where to begin this letter because so many things have occured this week... I think I will start with the good! 

   So its was amazing we had so much work this week and I just love working with Hna Segura... we get along so well... honestly she is me in Latina form and just love her. We were able to find a lot of miracles this week. We were working a lot in Valle and we found a cute little 9 year old boy there who wants to get baptized... his family are members ... actually his mom died a year ago so he and his sister live with his grandma but his name is Eduardo and we all call him Lalo... and he is preparing for his baptism the 23 of Sept and already bought his white shirt and pants for his baptism.  He is so excited! 

   We also started teaching a reporter named Carlos. He is golden and is preparing for the 25th for his baptism. He really loves the Mormon religion but has a lot of questions because well as a reporter he kind knows all the good things and the bad things... but he his following the spirit and he will get his answer through the spirit and not through the internet and he totally understands that and is awesome. 

Also cool experience we were knocking on some door in Valle looking for old investigators or less actives and we knocked on a door and the person we were looking for didn't live there but... the lady that answered the door loves the church and they just moved and haven't been able to find the missionaries or the church and then we knocked on her door... #milagros

Also our meeting with Hna Oscarson..... AMAZING! She was there and Hno Brough from YM and Elder Pino who is a 70 and then of course Pres Naumann and Sis Naumann who we all love and praise and it was awesome. It was them and 12 of us in the mission... 6 hnas from the field and 6 from the CV. And Hna Oscarson came with questions and we just sat in a circle and talked for like 2 and a half hours with all these amazing leaders in the church. Honestly amazing. Hna Oscarson was telling us how crazy it is to be on the missionary council its like 8 people and 3 of them are elders Oaks, Bednar and Anderson and then some of the 70´s and her.... she says is one of the most intimidating things because they never go on until she has given her opinion on everything. Did you know she was 25 when her husband was called to be a mission president. She had 4 children and had more there in the mission field!  Honestly I just love her she is such a down to earth person and I am grateful for the amazing experiences I have had here in my mission in Mexico with some great leaders of the church. 

Okay now for the not so great news.... I HAVE LICE! yay yup I have lice hahah don't worry, hna Segura knows how to handle it because its a common thing here in Mexico and our land lady was helping us and she was like "Hna, the fastest way to get rid of lice is put raid in your hair"

Me and Niyeli or as I call her.... #MVP

... so yeah they put raid in my hair several times and its killed a lot of lice. I only had like 10 but hna Saylor called us and she had 60-.... so yeah everything is great. Oh also we have been invaded by some kind of bug that is in the mattress and walls and what not so we have to get fumigated and wash everything in our house and we got special permission to come and write .... they said we can't leave our house until its all under control or else we can contaminate others... I honestly feel like a leper.  We can't sleep on our mattresses and they are not going to bring us new ones till the house is cleared so they told us to sleep in a chair or on the floor but we cant use blankets or else the bugs will bit us more.. hahaha so great right. I was thinking the other day; so many things have happened to me in the mish.  Good thing I have been through almost all of it... lol the Lord obviously has a sense of humor and wanted me to learn even more! hahahahaha so yeah thats how things are going!!!!

I love you all so much and I hope you all have a good week... Jared good luck with Brooke and her fam!!! Chris good luck with your foot and happy birthday!!! 

love Hermanita Heywood 

I need to get pics of Hna Oscarson from Hna Neumann; so will send them next week.
