ULTIMO. CAMBIO.                                                                                                                    Wooow. That is weird. I am starting my last transfer of my mission today!!!! It's hard to wrap my head around, and usually I'd just rather not think about it. But everyone keeps telling me I have no time left and asking me how I feel. SO I have to confront it. I feel great. Happy, tired, sometimes really excited to go home, sometimes really sad. But I am just doing my best here with my lovely companion, working til the end!

We are staying here in Tolhuaca 2 together. And we are not getting a 3rd companion! Yay! It would have been interesting... But I thiiiiink I've had enough of ''interesting'' in my mission. Happy to just finish out strong with my great companion. We are busy and happy! Sadly we still don't have investigators progressing, going to church, preparing for baptism... But we have been finding and teaching a lot more which are the first steps to having people progressing and getting baptized. We are doing our best and praying for miracles!! We want so badly to help someone be baptized; to develop more faith in Jesus Christ and make covenants with Him. I especially would love to see another baptism before I go home! But we will see what the Lord has in store for us these next 6 weeks. We are just going to keep doing our very best and trust in Him. :) We'll help however we can.

We live behind a family, in our new house that we're in. And this family has a dog. Her name is Renata. She's pretty cute, we like her and everything. But lately, she has taken to following us. EVERYWHERE. In the mornings when we go running, when we go to teaching appointments, when we knock doors, everywhere. It was cute at first but now we're kinda annoyed! She's a pretty house dog and all the street dogs bark and follow her wherever she goes! And they are scary. And then we get stuck in the middle of them because she gets scared and hides behind us, basically putting us in front of the scary dogs. Soo, that's not so cool. She waits for us outside of houses while we're teaching and does not go home! She also likes to sit on the door step when we knock doors. Haha. It's ridiculous! We gotta get her to stay home. Crazy dog!

GENERAL CONFERENCE is next weekend!!! April 6th and 7th and I am so excited. I hope you all watch it!!!

This week I wanted to share about Charity and Love. Attributes that are hard to develop, but so very important. When asked which of all the commandments is the greatest, Christ replied ''Love the Lord God, and love thy neighbor'' (Matthew 22:37-39). I have learned so much about charity, which is the pure love of Christ. We should all try to develop this kind of love for others. For everyone, even people we don't like that much. In the Book of Mormon, there is a beautiful scripture that helps me a lot. It says: ''Cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail- But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him. Wherefore, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love'' (Moroni 7:46-48). I know that as we pray and ask for help, Heavenly Father will help us! He wants us to be better people, He wants us to love and serve those around us. I have found great happiness as I have tried to be better, love fully, serve selflessly. I know He loves us more than we can possibly imagine. And whether or not we recognize that love, we can make a difference in the lives of others by loving and serving them.

I love you all sooo much! Have a fabulous week!  :)
