    Hola hola!!   Wow, it's been a great week here in Independencia! The first week of the transfer just flew by! I won't waste any time, so let's jump right into it! English class! So first things first, we had transfers last week! It was an interesting experience because President changed the day of transfers! Before, we would receive our transfers on a Sunday, pack on Monday, and travel on Tuesday. But now, we received our transfers on Tuesday night, packed on Wednesday, and Traveled on Thursday! I'm not exactly sure why we changed the transfer set up, but I guess we'll see how it works through this week! That also means that I was going to be coming home on a Monday, January 29th, but now I'll be coming home on a Thursday, February 1st! My mission has officially been extended one more month haha!! Anyway, we received transfers, everything in our area is the same. I'm staying in Independencia with Elder Perez another transfer! That's is perfectly fine

  Hola holaaa These past two weeks have been so great for us here in independencia! We've been working hard and seeing great fruits! Book of Mormon on Aloe Vera, which can do more healing? So to start off, this week we gad MLC! We traveled to Xalapa Monday morning and arrived at about 2pm, so that gave us plenty of time to have a cool P-Day in Xalapa! We went to Costco, and Starbucks, and the mall, all the basic Xalapa stuff haha! But the MLC itself was amazing! It was focused on one big thing. The Book of Mormon! President Day was telling us that he has been pondering about the thing our mission lacks, he said that there are other missions in Mexico that are the same size but are consistently helping more people be baptized. And he said that he discovered that the answer is The Book of Mormon. That's what our mission is lacking to take it to another level! He focused on 4 point in specific:  1. The importance of The Book of Mormon. 2. Our responsibility to share it and live it

He aquí, las planchas de Garnica. Another week down, this transfer is flying by! We've been battling a little bit over here, this area is trying to defeat me, but I won't let it! Elote on top of Doritos with nacho cheese! It's called Doriloco! I'll be honest this week has been kinda difficult, this area has its tricks to it, , but we're trying to keep moving forward! When we started out this month my companion and I set a baptismal goal for the companionship of 2 people! We had two people in specific we were sure could be baptized this month, but after this past week both of the4se people are no longer options. So let's start with Kristen, I've talked about Kristen on here before, she is the caregiver of a brother in the ward, well she WAS the caregiver for a brother in our ward! On Monday last week we stopped by to visit with them and share a few scriptures, and get everything ready for her baptism this coming week! But halfway through our lesson Kristen in

¡Buenísimos días! I'll be honest, this was a pretty rough week for us here in Independencia. We set another high goal to find new people, and we weren't able to accomplish it! We worked our tails off though and even if we didn't get the results we wanted, every week is a new opportunity! And we're feeling really pumped to get this area up and running again! Our new house! (it looks a lot better new I promise) So to start off, this week was kinda weird! I lost four days of working time here in Independencia! The big thing that messed with our flow this week was that we moved! But this move was very different than the last, because last time, my companion and I had everything ready for the move well in advance. We had already invited a good amount of people to help, we had planned for the move during our weekly planning, we had everything in boxes ready to go, and it was a very smooth process! But I don't really know what happened this time, our planning was a little
