happy summer:)‏

Hey family and friends!!!

its hard to believe but this is my last week of transfer #7...sister bingham is preparing to go home and its just been crazy. Today we are having a party with sister valentino for all the sisters who are going home. It will be way fun!!! we get to eat home-made burgers....YUM!!!
its been kinda a crazy week...the stress of a sister missionary is just unreal. Let me tell you a story...we have an investigator named Francisco..you might remember him because i told you about how he is getting baptized on saturday. Well we had a little scare. Last saturday was suppose to be him interview so they could announce it at church on sunday and everything. Well i was getting ready for the day on saturday morning and there was a phone call. I answered and it was francisco...he said “sister i have something to tell you but i dont know how you will take it. Ive been up all night thinking about what is going to happen tomorrow and i just dont think im ready for baptism yet.” well i didnt really know what to say. The first thing i thought was how am i going to tell sister bingham its her last baptism...i tried to talk to about it and decide whether it was that he's not ready or just satan trying to stop him. Well there was nothing helping he had decided. Well we took him to the Joseph Smith movie that night and he just loved it. After the movie one of the other sisters that had taught him started talking to him about his baptism and that he already knew sufficient that he needs to make a decision and he turned to me and said “ can i still do it?” i wasnt sure if he was kidding or not but the next day at church he asked us if we were setting up his interview. So long story short...tonight is his interview so let's all pray he stays strong and saturday will be his baptism. He is amazing and will be a strong member. He's kinda like Luis Lugo...im so excited for what the future holds.
So saturday we will find out what will happen...who my new comp will be. Im not sure if i will be going back to the VC or not. It depends if i end up training or not....we will see what the Lord has in store for me. We are hoping to find some new people this week and have sister bingham go out strong. We had a cool experience this week. We starting teaching a lady named Rosio. It was pretty normal lesson until the Joseph Smith story. Sister bingham did the account and after we asked how she felt. She basically started crying...its the first time that's ever happened to me. The interesting thing is that at first she was like “no im catholic” but when we explained who we were and what we had to offer she let us come back.
I pray the Lord will guide me because im not super-missionary. Without Him the work would not function with my mediocre espanol and teaching skills. Im ready for a new adventure in transfer #8. its gonna be my transfer of miracles:)
speaking of miracles let me tell you a story...i have many this week. We have a less-active named lucia who has been really sick. She has a tumor growing on her uterus. About 3 weeks ago she went in because she was bleeding a lot and the doctor told her that she had to abort the baby she was carrying because it would put her in danger and basically bed-rest for 8 months. Well they did the abortion and she was on pain pills and medicine to keep flushing the baby out. Sunday morning they took lucia to the hopsital she was bleeding again a lot. In fact she fainted from lose of blood. Now they still havent taken out the tumor because she has no insurance to pay for it. Well on sunday when they took her in the doctor told her she is still pregnant...tell me how that happens? The baby seems to be healthy and everything!!!
God is a god of miracles...he doesnt forget His children ever. Its still really scary because we dont know what will happen but hopefully it goes thru fine. They are so happy because they on have one child and wanted more. WOW!
Well i hope you are all doing well. Thanks for the birthday wishes and all your encouragement. Keep the letters coming:)
i love you all.
