Hola todos!

| Goodbye to Hermana Burton |
On Monday before transfers I got to say bye to
the Niñas and Angel. It was sad to say goodbye to them but Fani gave me her
stuffed flamingo and told me it was so I would always remember her! It was
ridiculously cute! I also got to see my beloved MTC comp Hermana Bennett and it
was the best thing in the entire world and made my entire year!!! I love her so
much!!! :)

| Hello to Hermana Gudmundson |
Tuesday was transfers! Man was this day
stressful moving and new companions, I was EXHAUSTED by the end. Anyway my new
companion is Hermana Gudmundson! She is super awesome I can already tell she is
a hard worker! I think we are going to get a ton done this transfer and I'm
excited to get to know her more! She's kinda quiet but can be super funny! I do
miss Hermana Burton though! Ahh she's so great and it's definitely hard moving
and switching everything but hey that's how it goes! It's also the greatest
when you talk to people in English and they try to pull the whole I don't speak
English thing so then you switch to Spanish, and they look at you like dang it
and then have to talk to you.
Wednesday and Saturday we did service! We do
service at this huge garden place! We weeded around trees for like two hours
and it was super sweaty and just grand. We did get a free bag of sun chips
though so worth it.

| Small Vineyard |
The vineyards here are crazy too they are
EVERYWHERE! You can't go down a street without seeing a little one but when
you're on the freeway there are vineyards for days, all over. I think I've seen
more grapes here than I have in my 19 years of living combined.
My apartment now is a place that comes off of a
members house! Brother and sister Newmen. They are probably the sweetest people
ever. Sister Newmen says we must call her Momma Newmen and that we are never to
go hungry, if we need a sandwich at 2 in the morning we are commanded to knock
on her door. They are the best and I bet have lived somewhere in the south they
remind me of Texas so much!
Thursday was a super adventurous day! We
tracked for probably three to four hours in total, helped some hilarious less
actives. We brought one, upon request, a
strawberry shake, taught four lessons, meet a very creepy shirtless man, and
looked for a good half an hour for an address that I don't think exists! It was
a BUSY day but was pretty fun!
I've decided that I've never slept so soundly
in my life. Early morning seminary has nothing on waking up each day in the
mission. It’s pretty much like I'm dead for like 7 hours when I sleep. It's fantastic.
But this week has been good! All the general
conference talks have been released in writing ane I'm reading through them
all. If you didn't get a chance to see them I would definitely encourage
reading them!! They are so awesome and have so much good guidance for our lives!!
Especially our prophet Thomas S. Monson’s address titled Decisions!!
The missionary work is going great the people
in Sonama are so nice! We are working on finding more people right now to
increase our teaching pool. We have been able to show the Easter video to so
many people. I love meeting the new people everywhere and talking to them and
most of them are super patient and respectful with my Spanish. There was only one person who laughed at it
so that's good!! We have two progressing investigators right now named Anthony
and Blanca who are super awesome and a couple new investigators!!
The mission is definitely the hardest thing I
have ever done but it is amazing! I've learned SO much about myself and of
course the gospel! The Book of Mormon is the best and I've come to love it more
than I thought I could, I know that it is the word of God!! I'm learning that we
can rely on Christ’s Atonement ALWAYS, I've learned how to completely lean on
Him and His sacrifice when it gets rough because he knows EXACTLY how I'm
feeling. Anyway some little tidbits there. I hope you all had a fantastic
week!! I love y'all!!
Con amor,
Hermana Foster
