SO....SO.SO Sorry for having you guys wait a week for this! I don't know who reads it and don't know if you get regular emails from her or not, but I apologize anyway! So to make up for my apparent laziness, I'll be posting last weeks and...drumroll...THIS WEEKS!!! Thank you for your continued support for Hermana Morgan! 

MY NEW COMPANION 

MY FIRST LATINA

ha 

Meet Hna Burgos she is from Arequipa, Peru! She is 26 years old and she is my best friend ha 

We are getting along well and she is so sweet and she is helping me with spanish and I am trying to help her with english (ha!) but we are doing well! 

Now...you look at this picture and you don't really see anything but...

now look at this picture...THATS RIGHT MY FIRST LLAMA SIGHTING!!! it was a moment I will never forget ha this was really just for Samantha. 

We had the baptism of Andrea this week and it went well! I was really bummed because her family didn't even come but luckily that didn't stop her...and she asked Elder Oxum to do her baptism and it was his first one, so they had to do it 3 times...and the water here in the font is cold, so it was a little sad to watch but I just figure it's something she'll never forget, right? ha but it was really good and I am hoping we can get her mom coming back to church and get her siblings baptized because that would just be so great for them!! 

we have a really awesome group of young women in the ward!! they are great! 

Also the font here takes 3 hours to fill up so we went saturday night (the baptisim was on sunday) to fill it and it was taking forever and it was freezing so I fashioned a cacoon if you will....

it was warm. :)

But other than the baptism nothing really new down here...i'm just trying to be a better missionary everyday. It's hard! You have these lessons with people and you feel the spirit and they say they want to be baptized and then when it comes time to show your faith, by reading or praying or coming to church and people just become lazy and it's really hard! Lazy people bother me man! So we need to start working on that with some of our investigators and we are also working on finding new investigators as well and that involves a lot of walking ha but everything is going good!! I hope you guys are doing good and I hope you guys all had fun on your trip!! 

I love you all so much and thank you for your emails and support! I love you all!! Have a good week!!
