Hello,

Well this week was a great week full of little miracles. Last pday was
a lot of fun spending time with my companion. She's the greatest. This
pday we are going to Toledo (a town where there's really old castles)
as a district. I'm writing this email on the way there as a matter of
fact.

On Tuesday we had a leadership council at the mission home. That was
really fun. I was able to see Hermana Rossberg and a lot of other
friends who are sister training leaders. It was an inspiring meeting
getting us ready for the world wide missionary training this week. I
was also privileged to give my testimony. It was an amazing meeting
and I'm so grateful I had the privilege of being there.

Anyways Hermana Rossberg and her companion came to stay with us
Tuesday night because they had some residency stuff to do. It was so
fun to go and teach with Hermana Rossberg again! Our Spanish is sooooo
much better now. Then we got a call telling me that the temple is
closed for our programmed temple trip and that if I wanted we could go
with them to the temple Wednesday morning! Well the temple was
amazing, I loved it. It was my last time with my companion and I'm so
grateful I was there with my friends.

We then had a crazy week with a lot of lessons, a lot of people
failing us and a lot of miracles. It was a great week and the people
we teach are amazing. Sonia is having a hard time quitting smoking and
Nicole still hasn't received an answer abound Book of Mormon. Gerardo
and Lenin came to church for the first time yesterday and I am so
excited for all of them. They have all progressed so much since I've
been here!

Love you
Hermana West
