Alyssa and her companion 

Yes pray for me. I am getting along better with Spanish but still working it out. I love the culture here. people don't ever stress I think heavenly father is trying to tell me something! I hope I have a ton of latino compaions so I can master not stressing! don't worry  about me my mom (my trianer) takes super good care of me! and I already had a family adopt me here!  We have one investigator that is so positive we visited her once two weeks ago but she didnt sound interested. But she showed up at church with the member that refereed her. Apparently the member begged her to come after we called and invited twice. She loved Sunday school and we set a baptismal date! It was amazing! We also had a great lesson with Philipe a forever investigator! I understood the whole lesson! All of it!!! And on my turn which I usually can do no more than bear my testimony and teach a tiny part, I told him why I chose to stay in the church and about my experiences  I talked in normal Spanish speed (abnormal for me usually I have to think about all the conjugations!). And they understood!!! it was fantastic. I am glad I am here and with Hermana Villeda. She is an amazing teacher and I am learning so much! I stay busy and working I am so much happier and that's what I want to do for the next 18 months! 

I wish you could just throw my clothes in the dryer!
