We found this new family:) We were out riding our bikes when we came upon this young boy. Usually we don't talk with younger kids because ya, idk, we just don't. But I felt an impression to for some reason. We were just talking about his school and asking about his religious background.Then all of a sudden his cousin came outside to smoke. We said, "perfect!" and we went over to her and started to talk to her. She is so awesome! She said she was praying that morning to figure out what church she should go to because she knew she had to go to one. Well she found it:) It was awesome. We taught them The restoration the next day and they are just solid. Her boyfriend wanted to meet with us too because he used to meet with the missionaries and then they disappeared. He always wondered where they went. Hahah God always finds them again:) The other missionaries probably got transferred. It was a miracle how we found them:)
We also taught these other solid people the Plan of Salvation and we were all crying! It was a great lesson. But they actually just dropped us today because they said they were comfortable being catholic. Ugh! Satan! But we aren't giving up on them.
My new companion Sis. Espinosa is awesome! She is such a great, hard working missionary! She is still pretty new to the area so we have been working really hard together as a companionship, figuring everything out. It has been so great. And there is so much work here in Carlsbad, NM! So pumped! Definitely hard to leave Sister Wimmer and Alpine but i know that she is taking good care of that area with her new trainee:)
Yesterday we went to 7 hours of church because we had 2 meetings and We are in charge of the Carlsbad caverns ward and the Spanish branch. Holy Molly! I was all churched out but it was awesome:) We speak Spanish 24/7. It is awesome! I love having a Hispanic companion.
We just have the best ward and Branch ever! The spanish branch is tiny like 20 people but we are gonna make it grow! And the ward is 200 plus. Soooo, we are never gonna be bored, that's for sure. The Holidays are gonna be the Bomb!!
Here is my new address!

| She made platanos machos. It was good. I couldn't have all the dairy in it but it was still good. It's some kind of Mexican dessert. |
