Still no baby?? What is this?? haha just kiddin I just am getting sooo excited and I can't hold it in anymore!
I hope all is well. I can't believe we are almost in October...the time is flying by! So about htis week...it was quite the week that's for sure. So my new companion is Hermana Wallace. She is from Uruguay but she lived in New Jersey for 7 years. She now lives in northern Spain with her mom. She is fun and full of energy. This last week though was a struggle because she was supposed to come in on Tuesday but she got sick and couldn't travel until Thursday afternoon.

| Hermana Barker, Hermana Wallace and the Mambo brothers. The Mambos were a family in Rachels Valencia ward. |
That means that I was in Valencia all week. It was fun because I got to visit Manuel and Rosmary and see some of the Mambos! Manuel and Rosmery freaked out. I love seeing them so much! They did tell me though that I am uglier...because I'm skinnier and darker. They thought I was cuter when I was fatter and whiter...the logic behind that I don't understand. But I'm not surprised to hear something like that coming from their mouths haha.

| Manuel and Rosemary, Rachels very first baptism over a year ago in Valencia. Rachel is very fortunate that she has had the opportunity to see them again while still on her mission. |
It was also hard because that meant that we didn't get to work in our area almost all week. To say the least, we lacked a lot in Castellón this week. It's okay though becuase we can just work harder this week.
The other bad thing was that I only packed enough clothes for a day...whcih means yes, I wore the same thing for two days in a row!! GROSS! So as for the not smelling so bad because I have new deodorant...yea not so much ahah. But sacrifice brings blessings right? haha
As for the area, we have a lot going on, but we are in the process also of finding new investigators. That's always what happens after baptisms...we have to start looking again because we spent all our time on the progressing investigators...but Carlos is helping us out a lot and he has remembered a lot of old investigators that now have more time to work with us. Its great. We are really seeing miracles. The members are helping a lot. For the last three weeks we have had members bring friends to church so thats a great blessing. And we have rain! Just like california, it hasn't rained here either lately so they have all been praying for rain. It's raining right now as we speak...but not very much.
Well not much else is going on. Every time I look at a calendar it freaks me out becuase the time is just flying by! I can't even grasp that I have three transfers left...AHHHH!!! what I think is going to happen is that I am going to leave at the end of this transfer and finish my last area with two transfers...no one really knows though. I guess all the surprises of transfers was waiting til the end of my mission!

CON TODO MI AMOR,
