Valle - Finally Got A Latina!

Dear Family how is life? 

Yo y  Hna Segura
  Okay first of all we had cambios and I finally got a latina comp! So happy, her name is Hna Segura she is from Morelos, Mexico and is super awesome! She has been in the Cv till now and was one of the sister training leaders there but now she is here with me and so happy to be in the field! She is 23 and has already got her degree in teaching and was teaching before the mish ... in elementary school! I am excited, we are gonna have a lot of success and have lots of fun and my accent will finally get better!!! 

 So I am still in Valle and very happy to still be here because its a great place with A TON OF WORK! So we spent more time here in Valle this week and let me tell you it kinda breaks my heart. We went and visited this older women who is less active and she just cried to have someone from the church in her house. It's because there really hasn't been missionary's there for like a year and once the missionaries left; the ward kinda ignored the other part or the poor part of the ward and these poor people stopped coming because nobody cared about them. We have met so many people that just need a visit or two and they will come back to the ward. A lot of people were mad about the ward ignoring their side and they started going to a different church building in a different stake and its just sad sad sad. BUT its okay because now we are working hard there getting to know everyone and trying to help them come back. 

There is an awesome family there who are both ex missionaries and they have two little kids and they have less than a year living there and they said it was so sad when they saw what was going on in the ward and they have been doing visits trying to help the ward.   They are awesome and they gave us A TON OF REFERENCES! They just love the missionary work and its awesome that they can help us and we can activate the ward together. 

Also I feel like we are now teaching every part member family in the ward.. haha okay not all of them but we are teaching a ton of men who are not members but their kids and wives are and three of the husbands/fathers came to church on Sunday! YAY of course one of them was being dumb and was whining that he wouldn't have time to eat breakfast so we went and made crepas for them and then they drove with us to church. Also we had a ward activity on Saturday and it was great. It was a talent show and so me and hna Saylor sang an arrangement of like 4 hymns about missionary work using cups like in pitch perfect and everyone thought it was cool. There was some cool talents from the ward and the cutest girl from Valle (that lives in the poor part) did a dance solo it was like jazz funk and it was so good and she is so cute and I was so happy to see her dance!!! 

Oh also we haven't had a baptism this month so we decided to show our faith and announce that we are having one next Sunday because we believe we will find someone in a week and do everything we can to find them!!! So yeah I´ll keep ya updated on that!  Life is just great and I know this cycle is going to be a cycle of MILAGROS! 

Oh also you wanna hear something cool, Bonnie Oscarson is in Mexico and she is having this like council thing by the temple with 12 people and presidente invited me and hna segura to come and be a part of the council... there will be four other hermanas there too... so that is SUPER SUPER COOL! 

I just gotta say I am so blessed to be able to be serving here in Mexico! I love this place and these people so much and thinking about leaving them makes me emotional so I don't haha and I am just so so blessed to be here in the service of the Lord. I have learned so much and I am excited to see what this cycle holds in store!!!!  Beto and Gabi are super close to baptism and marriage and Paola and Maurico are getting there too!!!! I am so excited and I love these people so so so so so mucho.. but i also love you all too!  Have a good week fam bam! #duces
