Three words to describe how we feel right now: burnt, sore, and itchy.  Saturday we biked from11:30 in the morning to 9:00 at night, and then for our break we got to dig a hole for a member's playground.  But it's always hard to complain because the Lord takes such good care of us and blesses us so much everyday.  To end our fast that day, we just prayed for food and it was prepared in two luch sacs all ready to go from the member we dug a hole for. This week was tough because we dropped a lot of investigators that just weren't progressing, which at the beginning of the week we wasted a lot of time on, then the second half of the week, we just find investigators in our area.  We found three people who wanted to be baptized in other areas though.  Shayla and Margarita asked God if we were his real messengers, and they received an answer from God that we were.  Experiencing that spiritual confirmation with investigators is the best feeling in the world!!

 We had zone conference on Wednesday which is always amazing because we get to hear from our beloved Presidente.  He has so much love and wisdom that whenever he speaks we are all ears and feel incredibly edified.  It's kind of like whatever he says is a commandment and we receive direct blessings if we obey.  One thing I realized at zone conference was how lucky I am to get to repent NOW. There were so many little things that President Malenda taught us, like how to be more effective missionaries by planning in more activities and working with members.  I don't have to wait to change all of those things.  I've been reading at the end of Alma, beginning of Helaman, and I see how important it is to never give up fighting.  Moroni rallied all of the Nephites and they repented and depended on God, and after the war, they prospered for a little while and a lot of people were baptized.  Then when the Lamanities came at them again and they let pride sneak in, they stopped caring and lost that incredible desire to fight for righteousness.  Never let yourself lose your desire to fight for righteousness.  We are in the middle of the best part of the battle, right before Christ comes, and we have to have the determination as the Nephites did under the direction of Moroni. I'm loving my mission!

Love,
