I am training Hermana Diaz of Chili!! She is awesome and she is doing great! She is a tiny person with super long hair. She is funny and sweet and has a great sense of humor. She is super smart and already knows all of the lessons. She has a great way of explaining things so that people can understand her and feel her sincerity and she has a vast knowledge of the gospel. Sometimes I feel like she should be training me! I feel like I am improving a lot as a missionary by teaching everything and focusing on being a good example. I also am loving studying 12 weeks again (the training book for new missionaries) and refining my missionary skills.
We have been in a trio with hermana Lloyd this week because her companion went home suddenly before transfers, and the assistance have been running around like crazy trying to find her a mini missionary. At first it was a little difficult getting the flow of being in a trio with training, but we are getting the hang of it and it has been a great experience for all of us! However, Hermana Lloyd is very excited to finally have a compañera and go to her area this Saturday.
The day before we got our new comps. we had an ALB activity and went out with the new missionaries to do some street contacting. It was great, because everyone was doing it in our area, we received about 20 different references! After that we have been focusing on finding and contacting those people. We are also working on going through our old investigator list (which is super long!!!!) and finding those people as well. This week we started teaching 3 new investigators and we have several citas (appointments) with new people planned for this week!
We are also making some great progress with our investigators Francisco and Rosa. They both want to get baptized (Rosa especially) but they just need to get married first. We left them with the commitment to pray together and ask if they should get married. We are praying that they receive their answer and start working towards baptism and matrimony.
Agostina is 14 years old and she wants to be baptized but her mother says that she can´t before she is 18. =( We are going to keep teaching her and working on helping the mother to understand. We are praying that her mom will have a change of heart.

Us saying goodbye to hna Cerrato who went home to her house this week =(
Hna Lloyd and I having our last district meeting before transfers and eating tortitas. We are a district of fools hahaha
We were in a trio with Hna Streadbeck for a few days before transfers, and this is her and hna Lloyd on those weird workout things in the park near our pench
Next, all of the trainers lined up on one side and the trainees on the other and they did a countdown and then we turned and discovered who is our new companion!
Goofs with the camera! haha
So that´s about it for this week, fun with lots of changes!
I love you all!!
Con Amor,
Sarah
