Dear Family,
This week has been great, and hard because my baptism with Jose Rojas fell through. He was good to go on Friday, and then on Saturday he did not show up for his baptism. I am sad about this... and after this we have not been able to find or talk to him yet.... so I am still clueless as to what happened..... it kinda makes me look like a freak show of a missionary, but oh well.... I believe that I am trying my best (but we can always be trying harder right...and that mentality is throwing me over the edge right now) Oh well.
Hermana Gallegos is wonderful, and my only fear now is that President is going to recognize that he made a mistake about me being a good missionary and is going to put her with another better missionary. JK. (well, I sure hope I am kidding) Anyway, the mission is great and this life is wonderful. My mission is officially halfway over this week.....because I am in the smack dab middle of my transfers.... I am in the middle of my 6th transfer, with 5 behind me, and 5 in front of me. (those five in front of me look like a mirage in the desert....and I am dying of thirst....I feel like I am starting to lose my mind out here) JK. (again, I hope that I am just kidding) Anyways, life is amazing!
We are working with an AMAZING family out here right now, and I am loving it!!!!!! We are going to set a date tomorrow and I am thrilled! The mother is Clara and the daughters are Melanie, Jasmine, and Clarrissa. They are wonderful! The girls make fun of my Spanish a lot, and that is great because it is pushing me to be better!!!
Really it is like me and Hermana Gallegos were best friends in the premortal existence, and it is so wonderful. Sometimes she has very passionate views toward the Spanish people that I cannot relate with, but we are helping each other out and teaching each other so much. Hopefully sometime soon the language and everything will be perfect for me.... because I am sick of having a language barrier and I think that it is time for me to be fluent. I feel that I am so close at times and then so far away in others..... really frustrating.
Well, pray that we will find Jose Rojas, and that Clara y sus hijas will be baptized SOON! I love you so much!
Love, Hermana McDonald
