Letter #12

hola familia!
como estan? so this week was one of the hardest weeks i've had. we had cambios last monday, so i was left alone in ita enramanda. my new comp is super sweet and she's awesome :) we are working super hard because we are  basically starting from scratch. we had some tough days because i obviously didn't know that i still don't know tons about missionary work ;) and especially spanish! its been an extremely humbling week. i've probably never needed as much help in the mission from my heavenly father than i've needed this week. but we've also seen miracles in one week!! :) the work is picking up again!  :) we are teaching another little girl in yukyty, but the problem is that her parents don't want her baptized even though both her sisters, mom, and grandma are all members. so that is an obstacle... but yesterday we got her little cousin to sneak behind her grandmas back and show us where they were going to be moving... haha ;) so we stalked them, found michelle's mom and asked if we could help them move. so we built a house in yukyty and totally won the trust of her parents and were hoping to get permission this week and have her baptism the 17 :)  yesterday we also found norma and her family. it was a miracle that we found them as well! it's norma, her 2 daughters, and mom. they all accepted fecha and now we are just going to teach them and do all we can to help them be baptized by the 31. we are super, super excited!!! :) we have zone conference this friday and i have to sing in a quartet..... :) that's gonna be interesting... ;) ohhh and there is this lady carmen, so she believes the sabbath is on saturday and me and hermana argueta found her and she was excited, but rejected baptism and didn't want to talk to us or anything. so last saturday we were walking home, and i thought that we should go visit her, so we did and she accepted us!!  a lot of sad stuff is happening in her life, but she invited us back. so this saturday,  two days ago, hermana austin and i went and visited her, and her heart has changed and she accepted baptism and now we just have to work with her job that's on sundays. we're praying for a miracle there too....we are just working, working, working!! we are also being EXACTLY obedient... that's something that's very hard to do.. it feels ridiculous at times, but we are seeing miracles and for that I will do what I am asked to do and be happy :) i love the work and serving the people! i miss and love you all so much!! Always keep the faith!! :)
always love,
hermana McDougal
