It seems like you all had a really good week! That is fantastic! It is really odd to me that you are already to the point of starting school! I really can´t believe that time has gone so fast. We are starting week 3 of the transfer, and I feel like time really is just starting to fly away and there is nothing I can do to get it back.
I apologize for the delay in the email, we had some serious Internet problems, and so we had to leave for a little bit and then come back. As such, I don´t have a ton of time to write, nor do I have time to send you any pictures, but I promise that I will send some next week.
In regards to the whole debit card thing. I think that I did use it in March, but I know that I have used it since then. So that is super weird. I will pull that money out tomorrow then, just so you can know what it going on.
The week was really good. There was however, nothing normal about it. I feel like I write that alot, and you think I´d just be used to not having anything normal, but it would appear that I never learn. Haha.
Hna Baker has had some health issues in the past, and together we have figured out what a couple of them are. I feel like we are getting closer and closer to figuring out the last couple of things so that she will be able to finish her mission healthy. I am very very excited about that. We realized that we think it is a very high possibility that she needs glasses. And Pigue is teeny tiny and so we had to arrange a trip to Bahia to see an eye doctor. It worked out perfectly because we had a zone conference that Saturday in Bahia.
So on Wednesday evening we took a bus and headed to Bahia. We stayed the next couple of nights with one of my favorite Hnas, Hna Gonzalez. I just love that girl. She is fantastic.
Thursday morning we went to the doctor and it turns out that we were right, Hna Baker does indeed need glasses, and the doctor said that straining your eyesight can be a cause for headaches. One more piece of the puzzle put into place. We went to go pick out her glasses, and we were told that we had to come pick them up Friday afternoon because by the time the conference got out on Saturday, they would be closed. So once we got that whole situation under control, we headed back to the house because Hna Baker wasn´t feeling well.
We were running all over on Friday. We had so much to do. There is way to much complicated details for me to give you right now, but Hna Parreño had told us that she wanted us to go visit some people out in our old areas, and give them a bit of help. There were a couple of people that she talked about in particular, in White, but she said that we could go figure out what we wanted to do that day. So we spent all day running around trying to see as many people as possible. It was actually really fun. It was like missionary vacation. Go see all the people you taught and see how they are doing. It was a very singular experience, and I am grateful for it.
On Saturday we had potentially the best zone conference I have had. Elder Viñas, the new second counselor of the area presidency came, and he is fantastic. Every workshop we had was just wonderful. Many things were said that were just the thing that I needed to hear, and they helped me feel good about the things that I have done on my mission, and the goals that I have for the time that I have left. Sometimes when the authorities come to talk to the missionaries, they are a little hard on us, and help us see exactly what it is that we need to do to improve and what it is that we need to fix, so it can be a little intimidating to know that they are going to be there. However, Elder Viñas was all about helping us feel good, and knowing that if there are changes that need to be made, we should make them, and that we are capable of making them. It was really nice.
In terms of other great things that are going on. Miriam came to church again yesterday! She is still on track for her baptismal date. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. This woman is amazing. She is going through so many trials. She has cancer, is having some difficulties with her oldest daughter (who is 33) among a couple of other things. But she is so great. She is reading, she is praying, she comes to church, and she has so many desires to learn and grow and do. Please pray for her. If all goes according to plan, I will be sending pictures of her baptism in two weeks!!!!!
Well, that is about all I have in terms of time today. Again, I am so sorry that you had to wait so long to get this. I hope that you are all doing great, and I hope to hear from you all next week! I love you!!!!!
