I saw hermana Pineda in Reu today for pday (I just about dropped dead from excitement, I do not have words to express how much I adore hermana Pineda.) Oh and this week I got your package, thank you sooo much! I loved it! I cannot believe you found that necklace, that is the greatest thing ever. and thanks for sending me that part of hermana Bontempos blog. I definately know her. We have had the exact same companions EXACTLY As in she has not had one single companion I havent had and I have not had one single companion she hasnt had, pretty weird. Hermana Pineda was just her companion for liike 2 weeks before she got sent to Texas. And yes daungaree is a really big problem here and pretty much everyone gets it at least once unless you are me because I dont get sick. I had lots of trouble with nasty parasites but I dodged that whole daungaree thing, knock on wood. Hermana Bontempo is really awesome though, the reu mission will miss her. 

    Well this week there was a tornado in my area San Martin. It was so scary! Luckily it was after hours so we were safe and sound in the house but our roof is lamina so the wind was crazy loud as everything was flinging around like crazy outside and hitting against our roof and house, it was pretty intense. We got to do lots of service this week to help people clean up from the storm so that was cool. 

   On saturday we had a baptism woohoo! Her name is Ana, she is seventeen, lives by herself with her little 9 year old sister and her 3 year old son and she is nothing short of a miracle! We found her my first day here, she was so prepared, so positive, accepted a bap date in the first visit, came to conference then randomly fell off the face of the planet. We searched and searched and heard some rumors that she went to work in Malacatan until June and we were super bummed. Then we went to do a bap interview with another investigator but it was a total bust. that was on Thursday and we were already with the Elders for the other interview and we walked past her little boiling hot cement house and saw her inside asleep. So we walked in, woke her up, and we were like, hey do you still want to get bap? and she was like yeah. and we were like when? and she was like you guys said the 12th right? and we were like yeah do you feel like you are ready and she was like yes. So we did the interview right then and there and she passed and then on Saturday she got bap! It was awesome! and when I saw Hermana Pineda today she said that the family we taught and left with a bap. date in Coatepeque got bap on saturday too, so I was on cloud nine all weekend! 

      Well I am glad that you got to finally go to lunch with sister Heiner, sadly I am not in the same zone with Elder Heiner anymore.

 Oh and I have a quick favor for you. So we dont eat dinner on the mission because there is not enough time and guatemalans dont eat dinner. but every sunday we go over to our favorite members house and make a traditional guatemalan or honduran meal because my comp. LOVES to cook and then we all have dinner together and they are hands down the nicest, funniest, coolest people to ever live. So yesterday they asked me if I could make cool a dish for them from my home for next sunday. so will you send me a recipe or an idea of something I can make, it cant be too hard because I suck at cooking but it cant be too easy either because I want to impress them. and it also cant be anything that requires an oven because there are no ovens in guatemala, they just use firewood and fire to cook . Thanks mom! I love you to the moon and back and I will get that video to you if it kills me! 

Love

Hermana Outsen
