my comp is the one that has her head sticking out the side.  Oh my goodness, she is so funny.  Also these are all of my super friends in the mission.  Well, actually 3 of them had one day in the misiion, so I guess I dont know them yet, but I know that they will be so great!

First of all, I think that maybe some of you didnt read super closely about my new comp, but its hna guevara!!! One of my old comps!!!  And she is just so great!! We just laughed our heads off all week, working hard, and realizing how much we ahve grown in these 8 months weve been apart.  She is so so great!

This week I learned a lot about being worthy and not being perfect.  Because elder benar came to uruguay and had a conf for all the misisonaries in area sur america sur and he and his wife talked a lot about not beating yourself up about little things.  Growing surely and steady not in huge up and huge downs where really you just stay in the same spot.  Not progressing much.  Elder bednar has a way with the youth, he just understands.

And one of the things he said a lot was that the difference between hermana hinkley and an hermana misisonary that is trying her best is 70 years.  That sometimes we have to stop wanting to find the quick cheat to the plan of salvation.  There really isnt one.  The point of this life is progression.  And progression comes with time and experience.  Its like a little plant, and you want it to grow faster so you keep pulling it out of its pot to see if it has grow, and you keep getting impatient and keep taking the baby plant out of its pot and critisizing it.  It doesnt work like that.  If you want  a plant to grow you have to give it water and sun and TRUST, HAVE FAITH that it will grow.  Leave it in the pot.  And I liked that.  He is really right about that.  

But, I love you guys so much!!!
