Last 6...
Well, it's offical. Yesterday the ward mission leader asked me if I was ready to die. And you know what I told him? I've got 6 more weeks to live! Not 6 weeks to die. This week was really great! Although it was sadly my last week with Hermana Ledek...But, they only changed her to a different area in our ward! So I'll still see her on Sundays, in District classes, and in Mission council. So that's the very, very bright side. And my companion is Hermana Monroy! She is so cute! Always happy. And very dedicated to the work. I know this is going to be 6 amazing weeks together. She is from Hidalgo, has 9 months in the mission and is going to help me polish up my spanish haha
This week it was cloudy and glumy every single day. But we did not let it affect us and we just kept working with a big smile on our faces! Something I loved about this week too was that we looked for every opportunity we could to serve - and especially the members. We helped a sister with her Relief Society class, washed dishes (when they let us) and when we saw the opportunity to mow the law - we did it Mexican style and cut it with a machete for a less active sister. When we serve others - we serve God. And I have always held this phrase in my head since I heard it in conference a couple years ago - "First observe, then serve!" And it's so true. When we have our eyes open to opportunities of service is when we find those who truely need our help.
In other news... Our investigators are progressing so well! This week was battle "Drop coffee" And they are actually all doing so great with living the commandment now. I have really been able to grow in my testimony of the Word of Wisdom with how much we have to teach it here. It's hard when everyone loves coffee and it's the cheapest option. But as with every commandment - we obey out of Love for our Heavenly Father and sometimes its blind obedience. We don't have to know every answer - we just obey and he blesses us.
Well, I hope you all have a great week!

I'm so sad to see this district be changed! It has been maybe the best district I've ever had (Okay, so they're all great) But we were always having a great time!
Our "Batallón Mormon" On Sundays when we go with the Ward mission leader to go visit all the less active members and investigators we can to get them excited.
