Hi y'all!!
There were really only two big things that happened this week so here we go:
1. Jezania got baptized!!!!! That was actually such a miracle, holy cow. On Tuesday we got a call that the font was totally booked for Saturday, except for at 9 am or 5 pm. Jezania has the worst work schedule ever so we were so worried, but somehow one of the times managed to work for her. For the baptism, we were asked by the Stake President's counselor, President K, to have as many recent converts participating as we could. The only issue with that is that our recent converts ignore us and don't reply, haha. So, we had to get a little creative.

The Elders had a baptism a week before, and so we
ended up asking that new member to baptize Jezania a week after he was
baptized, and he was SO EXCITED. Then we ended up managing to get a hold of
two of the other Elders’ recent converts and asking them to give the talks.
They literally haven't replied to the Elders in like 8 months, but they said
yes to us immediately and it was such a blessing because we didn't have anyone
else left to ask. The baptism was actually amazing. The talks were so good,
and the speakers were super happy to be able to speak, and then the baptism
itself was so tender. It took a couple of tries because the baptizer was a
little nervous, but after about 10 minutes, Jezania was baptized!!! It was so
amazing, and I was so happy the whole time.
2. Transfers!!!! I know everyone's worried about where I'm going, but good news everybody, I'm staying here with Sister Glauser!! We've been manifesting it this whole week and actually praying so hard and it worked out. Unfortunately, the best district ever is getting split up and Elders Judd and Christensen got booted, RIP.

Literally so many people have told me that this
last transfer will probably be the best transfer I have on my mission because
the district was TOO GOOD, but I'm going to be honest, this next district is
pretty stacked too. The biggest miracle I've seen on my mission has honestly
been the people I've been assigned to serve with. It's been such a blessing,
and I've loved every single one of them.
3. I lied, there are actually 3 big things. Juana's on date!!! So exciting. She should be getting baptized in two weeks if everything goes to plan which will be so awesome. One big miracle we saw this month was the number of baptisms we ended up having as a mission. We had a goal to baptize 63 for the month, and after the first three weekends, we'd baptized 7. However, this past Saturday, the mission set a personal record for 23 baptisms on one day. We ended up having 40 baptisms as a mission which is insane, especially after the mission split that happened when I got here.
That's it for this week, those were all the big things, but thanks everyone for all the support and love. Love and miss you all!!
