Good news!! Lorena has decided to look for new work and it may just be that she has already gotten it! She was riding by on her bike yesterday and came up to us and said "Maybe I got a job!" She was happy and it did me so good to see her that happy. If she gets the job she wont have to work Sundays and will be able to go to church and be baptized. Prayers are being answered. Thank you for your prayers!

In other news I have received my final assignment for my last transfer...I am staying right here. So I really am going to end my mission here in Montevideo. I have no served more than a year here in this city. It is my home. I stay with Elder Clark and starting next week I am the oldest missionary in Uruguay.

I am really glad to hear that I am still Teddy's favorite. And rightly so. He and I will have to get a happy meal or something when i get home. It will be super fun to see nephews and nieces again and to have a new sister in law. I am really excited to come home...in 6 weeks that is. I am not trunky.

De hecho, I have baptizing to do. No time to be trunky. Elisa couldn't get her interview this week and will have to be baptized next week or the week after and we are still working on Lorena. We found 12 investigators this week, Elder Clark and me, and we have high hopes to baptize at least one of them. They all seem great but we always see everything through rose colored glasses. I always believe every person is going to be baptized when we find them, and maybe all eventually do. I am certain we will baptize a few of them.

I am exercising a lot more. I weigh 160 pounds. I started the mission at 150. So it is a good weight gain. I don't want to lose it, but I do need to tone it. I still have beautiful blond hair and have no signs of going bald or ever getting to an age where I could grow a moustache. The good news is that I don't want facial hair anyway. Me with my feather blond hair they already try to make me the Belle at the ball, I don't need any facial hair.

Keep working hard! Don't get trunky! I will still need mail. We aren't done yet. Take care! I love you all!!
