taped.

So I've got this joke with the zone leaders that I'm staying in Paita foreverrrr cause in the mission office in Magenta I'm taped to the white board under Paita. Everyone else has a magnet. hah. And!! I've got one more transfer in this place!! Or maybe more if Heavenly Father wants :] But I might move after this one, cause that'll make 10 1/2 months that I'm here :] J'aime biennnn!! I like!

Ma chere famille,

So someone tell me... I heard a lot about missionary work and general conference, but no one made the soeurs can stay for two years announcement this one?! (Oh. And funny story about this... I didn't say anything about this to President, but last week in reply to my email said, "I wish sisters could serve for two years, but the Lord knows best." me too President, me too...) That was my last chance... mince. Mais bon. Pas grave. Thin. But good. Not serious (I know that doesn't make sense but I'm just google translating...). We're watching conference this next weekend and I'm STOKED. 

This week was good!! Still working lots with members and the work is rolling forth, and I'm excited for the members here to watch conference and get all fired up about this amazing work!! It's incredible!! This week, Soeur Beagles and I found a man named Nathan, apparently his wife talked to the elders a while back and they've been to a few activites at the chapel, so that's why he let us in. But we had a good first lesson and he's curious, so I'm excited! Cause you know what they say about curiosity.

Other than that, we're really starting to work with the members for the musical and theatrical fireside that we're doing, which is fun. I some how ended up being choir director, which is mildy terrifying. It's making me wish that I took choral conducting from Sister Hall before my mission. But hopefully it'll be ok. We're starting sectionals this Thursday, cause one of the pieces we're doing, "This is the Christ" is a little complicated. But hopefully it'll come together. I love music! And missionary work! I've decided that I wanna come back here with my cello in the future and do missionary concerts all over the place. But I have to save up for that...

Anyways! I'm outta time, but! I love you all! Thanks for your wonderful examples for me! You are the best! Have a good week! You are in my prayers! 

L'evangile est vraie!

Love, Soeur Santos
