Well, my time here in philly is up! its sad to say, but i am out! we

finished off the transfer and our 6 months together with 3 baptisms

yesterday that went great! president came with his wife and it was a

great service!! of the 14 converts we have here, all 14 are active and

almost all of the adults have callings!! i am so greatful for the love

i share with these people here in philly. they were all in tears

yesterday when i broke the news, and it was just a mess! i hate

leaving area because it like leaving home otra vez. it so hard to do

that, but the lord knows why and i know that there are other people

that need me somewhere else and i need to learn more things from them!

i am so blessed, and will really miss it here!

this week was filled with baptismal interviews, district meeting

dentist for my comp, and a ton of teaching! we have seriously been on

fire! our mision has been focusing on referencias pedidas and we have

seen the blessing from asking those from people! we have 5 new

investigators, 5 people that will be baptized this next transfer and

there are others now in the making! this cycle that we have hit here

is increible!

yesterday we had stake conference, and i can be honest, for some

reason i cannot focus in english, and it has been a real problem the

past month! i am honestly forgetting my english. obviously it doesnt

show in my emails, but in person, when i talk or listen, my mind

doesnt understand, and i have talked to a couple of people and they

say that is happens when you dont speak it or think it. its scary!

haha, i shouldknow this!!! anyways, i know that the lord has a good

place for me in another part of the mission, i feel that i did what i

was supposed to do here, and have no regrets! i know that i am leaving

for a reason, and its giong to be duro, but i know its what needs to

happen. we will have a huge FHE tonight with all the ward, haha they

are making it like a despedida for me, so it will be sad, but i will

never forget what we did here :) the lord is good, he lives, and he

loves us! dont ever forget that!!
