Hermana Garcia and Hermana Oliphant

Well, the time for me here in Vista Hermosa, Tapachula is over.  I am headed to Comitan tomorrow. It is cold like in San Cristobal and our zone meetings are in San Cristobal so I will be headed back to my first area at least once!!!!! I am really sad to be leaving this area and the people here. I really felt at home with everyone, the investigadors, the members, my leaders. I loved being here even though it was hot and rainy!!

We had an activity as a ward on Friday night and it was a success! We played sports and, honestly, there was more non-members there than members! I participated in soccer and basketball and led volleyball! It was such a blast! It was a little weird because we had permission to wear jeans and I hadn't worn jeans in FOREVER!!! We had a whole family come that we are excited to begin teaching! I was with Hermana Aldas because we had companion exchanges on Friday. I love companion exchanges because I always learn so much from the other sisters!!!! 

We made yummy crepes at the church with Hermana Susi!!!!

The two men are Nicasio and Lizandro ( recent converts in the ward). They are so awesome! Lizandro went out with our ward mission leader on Saturday to visit some less active members. He loves working with us. Nicasio and Lizandro are going to give their first talks this Sunday and so we went to help them prepare!

We contacted a lot of people this week and most of them accepted a date for us to come back and teach them. We had to say goodbye to other investigators, though, because they weren't reading or praying or going to church. But I know that this area has sooo much room to grow!!! 

Well, we are in a hurry because I am going to be spending the night in a different area with the sisters there, so we have to run and finish packing. I love you all and am so happy that you are all okay.

Thanks for all the support and the messages of encouragement.

 Give everyone hugs especially Jessica and Liz!! 

I love you
