This week we started teaching a little girl and her family. The girl's name is Lluvia (rain). Well I say a "little girl," because she is tiny, but she is 12 years old. The other day we were playing soccer with her and a member and other neighborhood girls in the street in front of their houses. Then her dad saw us, and asked us if we could come visit them someday!
Today, while we were waiting for our new companions to arrive, I spent the day with Hemana Hauck, just kickin' it, or as they say here: Tirando barra.
First we bought a frozen yogurt that was delicious. And then we took some pics where you can see the beach. And then we went to my house and did some dance workout videos, and well.....cleaned our houses... but it was good. I was laughing, thinking and coming to reality picturing us two in Mexico, speaking Spanish, and having the time of our lives. Haha.
And today I got my new compañera named Hermana Vasquez. She is from Honduras. She has only been out 3 months in the mission, but is a little ball of fire and is keeping me on my toes to get working and teaching all the people! "A raging ball of brown fur." (This is from a stuffed animal Brother Bear that said this when you pushed his tummy. A toy that Maddy had.)
But I am excited and looking forward to what this transfer has in store for us. I was sad to say goodbye to my other comp Hermana Abadia. After a little rough time, I learned to love her a lot, and she helped me a lot gain confidence in myself, and remind me my purpose here as a missionary.
Lots of times, the things that we face in life are all mental. I learned this from my dad, but was reminded by Hermana Abadia. If we have confidence in ourselves, and in God, then other people can have confidence in us, and we can help them.
Oceans of love,
Hermana Barton

Since we didn't get a pic of Hermana Vasquez this time around, these pics are possible repeats and come compliments of me, Amy, the editor, simply to remind you who Hermana Hauck is. She started her mission the same exact time as Meredith did and was in the CCM in Mexico City with her. She must be serving very closely to where Meredith is right now, and has been for a few months at least. I think she is from Southern Utah. I can tell from these pics that they quite enjoy each other. Glad they could spend a pday together "tirando barra." Sounds right up Hermana Barton's alley. ;)
