I'm having a Baby

So, Elder Acaro is leaving.  Guess who is going to be my companion?  I don't know!  I was on exchanges with Elder Gneiting last Wednesday and President Cook gave us both a call and told us we were training...  So, Elder Gneiting is training again and I am going to have a son!  Woo!  I am freaking out a little right now because he is going to be a brand new missionary fresh out of the MTC!  OMJ!  I'm scared.  But, it will be fun!  Elder Gneiting is staying here in San Marcos, so that will be cool.  We had a meeting yesterday with President Cook about being trainers and it's a lot of stuff.  We have to help them learn to be better missionaries than we are because in a few months, the number of missionaries is going to BOOM.  President said right now we have about 175 or so missionaries.  But, come February ish, we are going to have 250!  OMJ!  He also was talking about the MTC time that new missionaries are going to have.  Like, English missionaries used to go for 3 weeks, now they are only going for 12 days, 8 of those days which are only training.  He said the Church has even been talking about shortening it even more, like a week, or just sending the missionaries straight to the mission; no MTC.  Crazy!  The missionary numbers are booming!  It is going to be an awesome thing to witness.  

This week was pretty good for us.  Sadly, los Reyes always seem to be "busy" and we aren't able to teach them...  We saw them once on Saturday, but it was someone's birthday, so we weren't able to have a lesson with them, but we helped them set up for the party.  We have had a few lesson with los Mendez (Roselio and his family).  They are doing good.  The son, Gerardo, seems really interested.  We shared with them the Restoration on Thursday.  We brought a member with us, which turned out to be really good, because Roselio likes to talk A LOT.  So, we arrived to the Apostasy part, and Roselio just talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked.  So, we let him and the member talk between each other and taught the Apostasy, Restoration and Pray to know to Gerardo.  He had some pretty good questions.  They also offered us coffee (it was really cold that night) and so we taught them a little about the Word of Wisdom too.  It was sweet.  Other than those few investigators, we haven't really taught anyone :(  We always seem to find new investigators, teach them a few times, and then they disappear!  Why?!  Maybe they need a little greenie fire ;)

It has been SUPER cold here lately.  The mornings are FREEZING and no me gusta.  Good thing I have a sweater!

Who is Rick Veasey?  I tried looking him up on the LDS ward directory online, but it isn't working...  

Wednesday (Halloween) is going to be SWEET!  (but not really)  It will be my first day with my verdecito!  We have to go in at 6.  We study from 8-10, then we have district meeting 10-12, then we have to go to the store and buy food, finish studying (because now that I have a new missionary, we have to study 1 hour - personal, 2 hours - companion, 1 hour - language. It's crazy!)  Then we have to go in a 6.  So, we will only have like, 4 hours of actual work!  But, it will be fun :)  Send me pictures of Halloween!

I have never had Nutella, but I see Spanish people eating it all the time.  They really like it here.  Maybe I will go and buy some tomorrow!

OMJ! I am not even close to a year mark!  Don't say that!  I'm old :(  but, my hijo will never know how much time I have!  jajajajajaja!  There is no such thing as too many ties!  There is this one Elder in my zone (but he's leaving) that has like 80!  I only have like 60!  :)  But, for my year mark, we can't burn clothing :(  it's against the rules!  :(

I think that it is it for this week.  Have a wonderful, fantastic and fabulous week!  Love,
