Monday was a lot of fun!! I already talked about our trip to Ronda!! It was awesome! I loved it! We´re probably going to go again with Elder Gonzales and Shieble in a few weeks. After p-day, we went and visited Milagros. There was a little miscommunication and she said she wasn´t home. We went to our noche de hogar with Lucy, Magali, Alan and Milagros and her husband. They are all less active members from Paraguay and it was probably the best noche de hogar I´ve ever had. Everyone participated and had so much fun together. We played some games, ate empanadas, and had a super cool lesson. It was great. We´re working with all of them and they should be rescued soon!! Then we went back and saw Milagros. We taught a bunch of things to her, especially because we had to prepare her for her baptism. It went well, she pretty much accepts everything super fast!
Tuesday we had our last district meeting and signed journals and stuff. That afternoon, we saw Jenni and Alberta. Alberta is an 10 year old daughter of a less-active. She wants to be baptized, so we are going to work with her. It will be fun! We also taught Milagros that night too.
Wednesday was a crazy day. Everyone was leaving and coming through Málaga! It was fun, we got to see so many people pass through. All my favorite missionaries are in my zone now!!! Hna. Rawle is here in Málaga, Hna. Read is here!!!! (: Hna. Hubbard is also in Málaga. Then there is Hna. Roan in Almería, and Hna. Folsom in Fuengirola! They are so awesome and I´m super excited to work with them!! It was so fun to see Hna. Read! While we were waiting for everyone to get here, we went and played games like Ninja, and Psychiatrist in the park. It was super fun and then we ate at dominoes. We had to baby-sit some girls so we just hung out around the station.
Hna. Guerrero came and we just gave her the biggest hug. It was fun!! Then we went and dropped her stuff off and then headed to the church. We taught Blanca and she is really sad. She is always working, and really wants to come to church, but can´t. We also taught Sergio. He is a less-active that knows what he should be doing, but isn´t doing it. He also read my palms. It was weird. Before he read them, he told me - you´re nervous aren´t you? You´re worried about something going on at home, or you´re worried about what is going to happen when you get home. I don´t think I am nervous at all. Then he said, do you have someone writing you? I said, yes. Then he said, ´´he doesn´t love you.´´ I tried not to laugh, and I explained that actually I´m the one who doesn´t really have any interest. It was awkward. Then he read my palm and told me how many kids I was going to have... you want to know what he told me??? 3... only 3. That is not going to happen, I told him if that ends up happening, I´m going to adopt. He thinks I should finish my education and get a job before I even start thinking of getting married. It was just a weird conversation. Anyway.. .then we saw Angelica and she is just the cutest. I wish she didn´t have to work on Sundays so that she could come to church.

| WE are special!! |
Thursday we had weekly planning. It was SOOOOO long. But oh well.. at least it´s only once a week. Our eating appointment failed us, so hna Grant cut my hair. Just trimmed the ends, it feels and looks so much healthier now. Then we taught Jenni and found a new investigator Joy. She is super cute. She is nigerian and wants to come to church. Then we saw Jacki and she pretty much dropped us. ): it was sad. Then we taught Milagros about tithing. She didn´t really understand the object lesson we did. But it all worked out.
Friday morning we saw Mari and finished up the lessons. She is ready for her baptism. We ate with our Dueña and she fed us Paella. It was FILLED with seafood. It was pretty good, there were octopus and it had a super weird texture, but still good. Then we saw a less active named Milagros. She is doing great, all she needs is a calling. Then we went to the church for the interviews of Milagros and Mari. Everything went fine. Then we taught someone named Mamaru. He is muslim, kind of like everyone we find outside of our house because there is a big mass thing where they all go to pray. It´s super beautiful though.
Saturday morning was a struggle. We did teach a few lessons, but it was a long morning of walking. But saturday night was great... except a few bad things that happened. First as we were walking out of the piso, we forgot paper. We ran back up the stairs and grabbed it. Then... when we got all the way to the church, and forgot the clothes back at the house. We ran back and then got back to the church. We finished the program and went to check on the font (which should have been about filled) It wasn´t. We didn´t know how to plug it. We figured it out, and Milagros and Mari were super nervous. A lot of people showed up. During the talks, Mari turns to us and asks if she can leave because she was super nervous. She went into the hall and Milagros was baptized first. Mari, the daughter, was freaking out. She finally asked if we could ask everyone to leave the room. We did it, the important thing is, is that she is baptized. The members all left and she was baptized. They all came back in and we passed papers around and had them write testimonies and advice on them. It was good. The best part is is that they are baptized. What a struggle though. And some of the members were SUPER mad. I felt bad, but what can ya do.

| Milagros and Mari's baptism. They are awesome. |
Sunday was a great day. Milagros and Mari were confirmed and no one had to leave the room! It was great!! We also met a really cool less active guy. He wants to come back to church. Hopefully we can help him!
Today is going to be super fun! All of the zone leaders and SHEs are coming in for concilio so we are all going bowling! It is going to be a blast! I´m super excited to see Hna. Johnson. I miss her so much. I think when I get sad here, I miss you - but I also really miss hna. johnson. She is pretty much my mom here and has been with me or at least close for almost all of my mission. I can´t believe she goes home so soon!!! It´s crazy!
I love you so much!! I hope everything is going great there! I got the cutest email from Rachel today! It was even longer than yours. I cannot believe how big she is. She went to youth conference?!? no way! She speaks so grown up too! Wow.. it´s crazy!
I´m doing great! to an answer to your letter.. i´m not homesick at all! I love my mission, and I never want it to end. I´m trying my hardest every day to do the best I can do!
TE QUIERO!!
Love,
Sara
