¡Muy buenas tardes! This week has been really good, really quick but really good!! We've been continuing to work hard even though it's a little harder these weeks! Zone Conference with district Alborada!!! So it's been a pretty full week! This week we finally had our zone conference! Maybe it's for the fact that we didn't have a zone conference last transfer, but I definitely feel like this has been a long time coming! This zone conference kinda snuck up on me, one day it was Monday and I had plenty of time to prepare, and the next thing I know I'm there! When I say that I needed to prepare I don't just mean the regular spiritual preparation that one should do before a zone conference! But rather I was notified on Monday last week that I would give a class for the xone conference about the teaching model we use here!! When he first told me I was instantly filled with both great excitement and great fear haha!! I love the teaching model, and I talk about it a

  ¡Hola a todos! I'm super short on time this week, so I'll try and be super duper quick! This week we had our first District council of the transfer, it was super good!! The companionship of Sisters in my district asked me if they could kinda take control for the day and it turned out amazing! They taught us about how to become more like Christ through trying to develop his attributes! They focused on this theme as they had us break a piñata that had little pieces of paper in them with a Christlike attribute that we had to define for the district, and explain how it can help those around us! It was super great and helped me a lot understand the importance of trying to become the most like Christ as I can!! District council piñata!! "Come Follow Me" This week I did two divisions! Usually I only go on divisiones one time a week, but I did divisions with a companionship in the district and also the Zone Leaders! I'll be honest, usually I see great miracles on divisi

  ¡Hola a todos! This week has been super good! It's gone by fast and I feel like we've been able to get a lot done, but we can't slow down!! Cute little Christmas tree in the mall! So like I mentioned last week, we have new transfers! Just about nothing changed except for the fact that there is a new area in my district! It's actually half of my current area that was split into two, now there is my area, Alborada, and another area called Miradores! It's been a little interesting because they came into our area basically, and suddenly our teaching pool is a little smaller! These new Elders are Elder Escárzaga and Elder Hummel! Elder Escarzaga is training Elder Hummel, Escarzaga has a lot of time in the mission (24 Months) and he´s super excited to finally be training! Their super good missionaries! And now that they're here with us it's been different. They aren't in a new ward or branch or anything like that, they are just in an extension so we do a lot

 ¡¡Buenas buenas!! This week has been really good! It was the last week of the transfer, so we had to finish it off on a high note!! A brother in the ward who is from Denver!! As I explained in my last letter, we had a change of mission leaders! Everyone was sad that we weren't going to be able to say goodbye to President and Hermana Perkins, but we got some good news when they told us we would have a little goodbye devotional with the Perkins! We were really excited to hear that! Early Wednesday Morning, both Zones here in Xalapa all came to the stake center closest to our house. At about 9:00 everyone was in their seats waiting for the Perkins to arrive! When they got there everyone stood up and greeted them! It was so cool to see them again, I feel like I haven't seen them in ages! It's only been like two months but that is still kinda a long time, at least for me haha!! But after saying hi to everyone, President and Sister Perkins took their seats and we started the mee
