first of all...we have exchanges this week. on wednesday. and GUESS WHAT!?!?!?! hermana bennett is going to open a new sector!! im so excited/nervous for her!! but i am one proud daughter haha. she´s going to do awesome. im so sad that we won´t be companions anymore...haha it will be weird to have a different companion. but im EXTREMLY grateful for the opportunity i had to work with her for 3 transfers. we saw a lot of miracles together and i have learned a lot from her.
so im staying in la union another transfer...but obviously im getting a new companion. haha...and GUESS WHAT?!?! SHE´S A LATIN!! IM SO SO SO EXCITED!! she´s from paraguay! everyone says shes really awesome. and all the north americans tell me that whenever they have latin companions their spanish gets a lot better. so i´m really excited for that. i guess you´ll hear more about her next week!
GUESS WHAT ELSE!?!? hugo got baptized on saturday. it was the best. the whole baptism was so awesome and the spirit was so strong. his entire family came! and none of them are members. hugo has 2 brothers...one is 19 and one is 27? and they all live together with their mom. so they were all there...and his dad and his grandparents and all his aunts and uncles. a ton of members were there too! the branch really loves hugo. i was so SO glad hugo asked me to talk. it was really special. hermana bennett said she has never seen a missionary talk at their own converts baptism. so it was super awesome to be able to talk about hugo and his progress. i was also grateful for the opportunity i had to testify that i know that in the church of jesus christ, we have the authority of god to baptize and confirm the gift of the holy ghost. everyone was bawling...his mom and his dad...and me! haha. but right after i spoke hugo bore his testimony. it was one of the most powerful testimonies i have every heard. seriously. he stood up and was like "well my feelings are REALLY strong in this moment." and then he was like "excuse me, im going to bare my testimony to my family. i want you all to know that this church is the only true church of jesus christ. the truth is here and you cannot find it anywhere else. if you want to be happy in this life, this is where it is." woah it was super powerful! his family is super awesome, and I KNOW that they will all be baptized. i can just imagine them saying "yeah hugo was first, and then we were all baptized."

have an awesome week! you guys are the best family in the whole world! i love you all SO much!!
