Hey everyone! I hope your week was AMAZING and that you're all enjoying summer 
It's definitely getting hot here...But this week was so busy, and so full of miracles and fun things!!
To start it off, my companion Hna. Pier hit a year on her mission on Tuesday 
It was so fun to celebrate that with her! As is missionary tradition, she burned a piece of proselytizing clothing! The aftermath of her shirt:

On Wednesday we visited the sweetest old lady in our branch! Her name is Hermana Vazquez and every time we go over she bears her testimony to us and it is so cute and so powerful 
She told us we have to come back and visit her and bring our husbands so she can meet them. She also has a wall of pictures of past missionaries and she wants us to put our picture on it! So we're gonna add to the legacy

On Thurdsay we got to go to the temple with our mission president and his wife since they go home soon! It was such a great experience, I love going to the temple so much because I always feel so much peace there. Afterwards we had a meeting outside with our President and his wife and took a TON of pictures. It made it a lot more real that they're going home soon which is crazy. But it was so amazing to go to the temple with them! (Pictures in my Google photos since they won't download)
Also on Thursday, we had a training in our zone council by Presidente Luna
He talked a lot about knowing Jesus Christ, not just knowing about Him which I really liked. When we know Jesus Christ, we have a personal relationship with Him, we know the why behind the things that we do. But when we just know about Jesus Christ, we don't have a reason to maintain a relationship with Him. The gospel becomes no more than a set of rules to follow and some really cool stories. So my invitation to y'all is to know Jesus Christ, to find the why in your relationship with Him!
And now for the miracle of the week 
Our friend Paola got baptized!! And it was truly a miracle. Also in the training by Presidente Luna he talked about faith and actually believing in the promises of God and he told us every companionship could have a baptism this week. And I didn't really believe him. But the next day we went to visit our friend Paola who we hadn't seen in a while (she was sick and she does not answer her phone) and she was there! She was supposed to be baptized a couple weeks ago but she got sick. So we asked her if it's still something she wants to do and she said yes! So we taught her the rest of the lessons that day and set up her interview for Saturday. Her interview went well and she was baptized on Sunday! It was such a crazy miracle and it really showed me that I need to have more faith. Both in God and in other people.

She was so happy after her baptism! It was amazing to see!
Sorry for the super long email! Love you all, have a great week!
