8 teenagers in the woods just talking about the Book of Mormon


okay, sorry if this email is short and quick, not a lot of time today. and also sorry about last week, everything was closed for the day of the dead so we didnt have anywhere to email.
halloween was fun though! we had lots of kids stop by and handed out lots of candy, so that was fun. 
As for the new sector, it is really pretty lots of mountains everywhere! it is also really hot! haha sun is starting to burn and my face is starting to get very very red haha i swear i put my sunscreen on every day but still i end up a nice shade of pink by the end of the day.
We have been working hard though, trying our best right now to just find new investigators and people that are ready for the gospel!
One story, not from this sector but from my last. so that training that soeur Chard and i did for our last zone conference, the one with the rocks and the sand and all that that i said . so before the conference we went in the woods near a lake to find some sand and while we were there we found about 6 or 7 kanak and walesian teenagers who had asked us a lot of questions about who we were and america and all that. we ended up giving them some books of mormons and pamphlets and all that invited them to church and they said they might come but we never ended up seeing them again. so now about 4 or 5 weeks later, Soeur Chard called me (because we are no longer companions) and she said that she ran into them again! And they said that after we had left them in the woods that day they started to read the book of mormon and disscuss it and what not! so cool! 8 teenagers in the woods together just sitting around talking about the book of mormon together haha. Anyway when soeur chard ran into them she set up another time where her and companion are going to start teaching them, we will see where it goes, but that was my little miracle for this week, made my week. Also when soeur Chard ran into them they asked "hey wheres the other american, soeur rodriguez??" they remembered me, okay thats my story of the week.
always look for little miracles and sources of joy, they are always there so never give up hope and remeber that god is always watching over us. I love you lots!! and miss you more and more each day! love you!

All You Need is LOVE

yes my package came yesterday!! perfect timing in fact!  Anyway all is well here, normal missionary work, not much to report on this week. Bermos and Linda i think are going to have to wait to go to vanuatu to get married, we tried getting all their paperwork and everything together so that they could get married here but with having to translate a lot of stuff (because their papers were in english and would have to be in french) and what not it became a little too complicated and we wouldnt have enough time, so i think they are going to go back to vanuatu and get married over there and then have Bermos's baptism over there as well. Veronica is doing good, we had to reschedule our lesson for this week, but we are praying that she willl be coming to church this sunday anyway.  Something ive learned in the mission is just how to love everyone, how to accept peoples imperfections and not let their weaknesses get in the way of seeing the good in people, and seeing their di...

elloooooo bonjourrrrr saluuuut  hows it going? all is well here in new cal, workin away in same old koutio! things are going well though, i feel like i dont really have much to report. We did see Bermos this week, and hes doing great! And guess what my dream when i was younger of being a wedding planner, its come true!!! haha we are in the middle of helping Bermos and Linda get married! I dont think it will be quite as exciting as the TLC wedding planning shows pretty sure itll just be a civil marriage so our job is just to help them get the papers together but still! anyway we shall see how it goes over but wish us luck!  other than that all is well, we had a lesson with veronica yesterday that was awesome, she is this really sweet mami (grandma) from wallis, she dosent speak great french so we have been having a member who speaks wallesian come and translate for us during the lesson so that she can understand better, and she is starting to progress! love her...

But yah its been RAINING!! i love it! i forgot how happy the rain makes me :) the sun had been stressing me out! As for Bernadette she is doing great! and a plus her sister, who isnt a member has seen how bernadette has stopped smoking and now wants to meet with us so we can help her stop smoking as well, so now we are teaching her sister too!
