Week 84!

hola hola

this week has been pretty stinkin fun!! nothing too special has happened but i just have one phrase to describe me right now,¨i love the mission¨ even though it´s hard, long, fun, happy, sad, etc...  you just always look back on all of it and say WOW i´m so glad to be here.  this week was one of those weeks.  Elder Verdugo and i went to mercedes this week to settle a few problems with companionships being truchos and stuff like that then we did divisions on tuesday and i stayed in the area with Elder McCraney and he´s in his 7th change, osea almost a year.  interresting story is that he is from Laguna Hills, CA.  so i asked him if he knew who the McBrides were in Laguna Niguel and he told me that the name is super familiar and i showed him pictures that i have of them and he said that tayor looks super familiar.  small world...  but this week on thursday we had to travel back to mercedes to go to interviews with Presidente Heaton.  it was super good to talk to the predsident and we couldn´t leave till all of the interviews were done so we didn´t get back to our area until 6 in the afternoon.  but once we got back we wworked super super hard trying to get lessions with members and trying to find some more new people.  especially to get people to general conference was super hard just trying to pass by all of them and to get them excited to go.  it was even more difficult on saturday and sunday because it was the beginning of the¨SEMANA SANTA¨ or the WHOLE week before easter is just a big fiesta week.  but we ended up having quite a few imvestidators coming to church and being able to feel the spirit.  it was a GREAT general Conference!!!  i don´t know if it has to do with me getting a little bit older or something but every time there is general conference i get more and more excited to watch it!!!  like seriously i get freaking PUMPED!!!!!  so this week was super good fill with lots to do!!!  i love you all and can´t wait to hear more about what´s going on!

love ya,
