This week we had a great district meeting one of the elders finished his mission, and bore his testimony. Almost all the elders then bore their testimonies and almost everyone ended up crying. It was so cool.

Afterwards we had a member go with us to visit Magali, and even though we couldn`t teach as well as we normally did alone, it was great because this Sunday, when Magali came to church for the first time (:D!!!) she and the member already knew each other and she could feel more comfortable.
That night we had dinner with a Sister in the ward and she made us Paella. It`s rice with octopus, mussells, and green beans. I ate it all and asked for seconds! I`m so proud of me :) (I thought food would be more difficult for me, but Heavenly Father loves me and made all the food super yummy :D)
We were able to visit a less active member Wednesday before doing a last intercambio so that Hna Walker could go do her end of the mission things. I was with Hna Ortiz from Columbia.
Thursday was the independence day of Columbia, so she sang me the national anthem of Columbia and I told her the story of our national anthem. We visited a bunch of less active members, and one of them came to church yesterday.
*Side note: please visit the less actives. They really need support and love in order to return. It`s been kind of sad hearing so many stories of testimonies that were weakened because instead of being nourished by the good word, they had to fight alone and sometimes even feel like they were fighting against the other members. They then decide not to come anymore because they don`t want to continue feeling attacked. It`s really sad because they`re great people and many have testimonies, but because of a lack of love they decide not to come to church. Sorry, rant over, love you all. 
The elders made a fun FHE about the Plan of Salvation, and three investigators (young girls, 12, 11, and 10) came!
Friday I went with Hna Ortiz to her area to work for a little while. She taught me how to make Columbian Chicken and we rode bikes! My first time riding bikes in months!! We finished the intercambio and Hna Walker and I finished the day visiting Magali again and Julia. Julia taught us how to make neoquìs, and they turned out great. Her sister, Sol, was also there and we were able to talk with her a little bit and develope a friendship.
Earlier in the week a sister (Irene) told us that she wanted to go with us to visit her friends instead of just giving us the referrals! So we went visiting with her Saturday morning, and she opened a lot of doors that wouldn`t have been open otherwise! It was amazing.
We visited Magali one more time and told her the news... I was leaving Alejandro Korn! :( She was super sad, but we were able to exchange info, and she´s still going to listen to the missionaries (she almost didn`t want to, which scared us a lot. But it was just a little drama, and she`s fine now :S).
Then packing! :D
Now I`m in Adroguè, an area where I`d been a lot because of intercambios. And my companion is.... HNA MATTOS!!! If you recognize the name it`s because she was my third companion :). And now we`re back together! I`m also Sister Training Leader now, so will continue having lots of intercambios, but now I have responsibility, so need to step it up. I`m so excited to be able to meet and help the other sisters! It`s going to be an amazing transfer.
Love you all!! Have a great week!
