Dear family,

So, yesterday we had computer difficulties and so i didn´t get to writing you. But here are the results of the new transfer changes:

Hermana Reales and I stay together one more transfer!! a little bit crazy because that isn´t very common, but it will be good. We have a really good district and we are all working hard together. We just got out of our district meeting and we have a lot of good goals to help our stake progress. We are in the Merlo stake, and Merlo has been known as the stake (zone) that doesn´t baptize or have success in our mission. well, there have been a lot of changes made, and the president is changing a lot of the focus of the mission. We have seen huge miracles. Not just in our area Libertad B, but also in the stake. For example, the transfer that H. Reales and I arrived in Merlo, there were lots of changes in missionaries etc. Tons of things changed. The tranfer just before all those changes there were only 4 baptisms in the stake. Then, for example, the past month of september there were 13 confirmations. All the wards are making a lot of progress. Going from 4 baptisms in 6 weeks to 13 in jsut 4 weeks. We have higher hopes for the month of October, especially since it is general conference and we have the opportunity to bring more people to the conference to listen to our prophets voice. It will be a good week for sure.

I have a huge testimony of faith. The more faith we have, the more miracles we will see. That is because we will work harder because we know those miracles will happen. It is so true. Those who have faith have the desire and excitement to work hard everyday to accomplish a miracle. Not just in missionary work. That applies to normal life too. Any goal that we have, if we have faith that Heavenly Father will help us accomplish it (because without Him it cannot be done) then we will do it. Andrew is a really good example for me of accompishing goals through faith and showing your faith through hard work....haha. So, Andrew (not to embarrass you), thanks for your example... :)

Anyway, I guess there isn´t that much else to write. This week a mother (Silvia) and son (Cristian) came to church. They were waiting for us outside of their house Sunday in the morning! That was awesome. That hardly ever happens. Oh yeah, and we played a musical number on Sunday. H. Reales on her clarinet (that her mom just sent her) and me on the bishops violin. Even though we hardly practiced- because there is not time for stuff like that- it turned out pretty good. But it is really rare to have musical numbers here, and so everyone liked it anyway. I love the was music brings the spirit (and helps everyone pay attention...haha).

Anyway, that I guess is all. Love you all lots!
Sarah

p.s. in two days I will be 1/2 done with my mission....wow. weird.
