Hey y'all! 

It's been another great week of hard work! I find that in a day, you'll feel really low and than all of a sudden, BAM. 

Spirit hits you hard and you're back up again. 

We taught Michael last Monday and committed him to baptism! Yesterday afternoon, we asked him to be baptized 

on March 4th and he accepted! It was so amazing! When Sisters Cluff, Colson, and I did weekly planning, we all 

prayed about it and all felt that March 4th was the date. He has such a strong testimony and I'm so happy to see 

him accept the gospel! 

David is struggling a little bit. I just hope that he'll lean on what he already knows.

Pamela and Stephanie are doing really well! We're trying to help them read the book of Mormon and grow their 

testimonies. Last Wednesday we watched a video called the Testaments. It shows how the book of Mormon and the 

Bible work together. Pam and Steph were very attentive and asked a lot of questions. 

Shelia... Where do I begin with her. She's so awesome. Shelia was a referral who wanted to know where the church 

was. We've met with her a couple of times, but just on her front porch. We had a church tour this past Saturday for all 

our investigators and people of the community. Shelia was the only one who came, which was alright. Even if we 

have just one soul, how great is our joy! Because of the church tour (and because I was speaking in sacrament 

meeting and promised an amazing talk ;)) she came yesterday! She got there before all the other members. Keep her 

in your prayers please. She's being prepared, I can just tell. 

Alicia is trying to do better with coming to church and reading the scriptures. She said baptism could be a possibility, 

but she still wants to learn more first. 

The spirit tends to make missionaries very beautiful. Other people tend to notice, which makes a lot of our street 

contacts men. Either they talk to us first or they're the only ones interested. Either way it's funny. 

For those who don't know, bikes arent nice to short people! When I got bike, I was shocked when my feet couldn't 

touch. Not even my toes! Luckily I'm becoming a pro ;)  thank you mom for the beautiful bike! 

Sorry this email is pretty long. We've just had a lot of awesome experiences! Happy early Valentines day and spread 

the love of God and Jesus Christ! Love y'all!

         The view from my window! So pretty with the orange tree

           A chapel right next to my pad (that's what the mission calls our houses and apartments)

      Me sitting next to a mini waterfall today. Shout out to Sister Colson for her awesome picture taking skills

     Y'all love the mountains... SO LOOK AT THOSE! It's so pretty here!

   My feet over the edge and 2 minutes later, my camera case fell... I got it back by the grace of 
                Sisters Cluff and Ballard. Bless their hearts.

Me standing on a rock... not much else to say. But I'm not wearing a skirt! Crazy!
