So I found a little bit more time. I wanted to tell you 
about Hermana Hermosa. She is from Formosa, Argentina and is amazing. She really 
lives up to her last name. She is one of 12 children. (I thought our family was 
big. One of her uncles has 16 children o.o) She is really excited to learn 
english. ¨It´s a rule in our mission that the north americans have to 
learn spanish and the South Americans have to learn english. If you don´t 
help your companions with the language, you don´t love them.¨ This was 
revelation revealed to President Gulbrandsen for our mission specifically. This 
way, all of the missionaries have better opportunities for work. I am very 
grateful for your counsel and I am still working hard on my spanish. Hermana 
Hermosa corrects me every day and I am trying to use more vocabulary. We are 
working together.  
She is very obedient and I am happy to say that we are keeping the schedule 
and working hard. We have not seen any fruits of our labors yet. We have done a 
lot of walking this week, because nobody wanted to receive us. Saturday we 
walked our entire area from 2pm to 9pm. We aren´t discouraged, though. We know 
that the Lord is accepting our sacrifices.
So a couple interesting facts. She shares my birthday and follows the 
pattern of my companions. My first companion leaves today, my second leaves the 
transfer after, my third the transfer after, and now my fourth the transfer 
after. I can´t believe it. She leaves in January, but it so focused. I hope I am 
like her when I reach that point in my mission. Well, it looks like my time is 
really up this time.
Keep your heads up. Remember that tomorrow there will be sun. I still find 
hope and comfort in the talk of Elder Wirthlin ¨Sunday will come.¨ I love you 
all and will talk with you soon.
Remember that General Conference is in 3 weeks.
Love
Jessica
