That is crazy that tomorrow I will have been on my mission for 18 months. Can you believe that? Wow. I was remembering everything that happened last 4th of July, where I was, and what I was doing, and I hadn’t quite been out for 6 months yet. The last year just flew by. Pretty nuts. So, yeah, I am doing really good. It is SUPER hot here now, but I like the heat, so it is all good. So for me, this week was pretty good! It went way too fast and we didn’t get done half the things that we wanted to, but I feel like that is how it is always! There is NEVER enough time to do everything.
Sabado: In the morning we went and had a zone meeting. It was pretty fun. We all got “transferred”, and we went with another missionary in their area and we contacted for about 1 1/2 hours. I was with this brand new missionary in his area and it was a lot of fun and we saw some sweet miracles.

Viernes: We taught this less active lady…and she fed us some dinner before we bounced over to the baptism. The baptism was of…an investigator of the Sister’s. I played piano and I also accompanied the Sister’s on a musical number. I don’t know if I mentioned that Hermana Merrill is in my district (she is the one that I have played dozens of musical numbers in the mission for the past year), Christmas, Zone conferences, Transfer Meetings, baptisms. But, we have never been in the same district, and so we have had a good time performing here. Before the mission, she was in the BYU Singers, and she is a Voice major, and so she is very good. The baptism turned out really nice and the so did the musical number.
Sabado: Then in the evening we went to [a baptism]. This time, I sang at the baptism and Hna. Merrill played piano for me (this was a first for us, because I am always accompanying her). The song was really, really good, and the baptismal service was powerful. I also accompanied a Primary girl for another song for the service, so I had double duty.
Domingo: Church! I gave a talk in church which is always really good, because it helps gain the trust of the members, and then I also accompanied the Hermanas with another musical number. So we did 3 different musical numbers in 3 days!

Good week. This transfer flew by. Today is Elder Silva’s birthday so we are going to have a district activity and celebrate! I saw your post on mormon.org, Mom! YAY! Now all the family is up there (minus me). I have been directing my investigators that speak/read English to go to your sites, so they are being used :). Keep going strong, and never forget what makes this whole plan of happiness possible! Personal revelation is real and necessary if we are going to make it through this mortal life.

Well here we are again, starting a new transfer. This is number 13 for me, and the news is that…..I am staying here in Mission Viejo!!!! YAY! I am super stoked, it is going to be really fun. However, my companion is getting transferred so I will be getting a new one. So as of right now, I am going to have 3 1/2 transfers left (including this one). Pretty nuts.
