Dearest Mommy,

So this week has been very interesting ha and a trial of faith, We are starting to run out of people to teach and finding time to fill up or schedule, because we are stuck on the peninsula, when a appointment falls through we usually tract but it has almost gotten to the point where i have knocked on every house at least 2 or even 3 times. Ha not a good thing, it just seems that everyone that we talk to now either knows who we are and tell us some ridiculous story about who we really are, or we meet someone that already belongs to a church and doesn't want to hear anything that we have to say, or some people just don't want to listen. Its a little frustrating when you do everything you can to progress the work but it just doesn't move. We were able to meet with the Delacruz's and talk with them about what they want our meetings to go, they are slow but they have real intent and are really trying to find out if what we have been teaching them is true, so that is really good, we have found one new investigator, Maria, she has talked to missionaries before and is very accepting but apparently she knew some Mormons who were on her street and apparently the dad could do whatever he wanted to his daughters because he was Mormon........yeah we cleared that one up reeeeeeeal fast. but he sad new s is that she is moving to a different ward :/ not cool but happy that now she is investigating the church. Our on date for the 19th, Wendy, she had knee surgery before we met her and she was recovering, but apparently she fell and hurt it again so we weren't sure if she would be able to get baptized then, but we found out that she is ok and doesn't have to go back in and get surgery on it again, so we are all good haha. Then the worst thing in the world happened........I GOT SICK!!!!!! ugh i hated every second of it, on Wednesday night after we had eaten at a members house, i started to feel a little sickly in the stomach and then when we got home i wasn't feeling good at all, i couldn't sleep and i finally got to the point where i was in the bathroom praying to heavenly father to let me puke and just get it over with, so it did and that next day wasn't any better i couldn't really sleep because my stomach was still hurting just not pukey, but i just layed there in pain and wanting to die, the next couple of days it got a little better but i was still feeling sickly, but finally on Sunday i felt better but it was miserable ugh i hate begin sick on the mission, you feel useless. but then conference was there and it made it all better, i loved all of it it was the most inspiring 10 hours of my life!!!!! Then again i might just be saying that because im on a mission anyways, it was so awesome! I filled up like 17 pages in my study journal from it  ha it was great.
