Primero huge shout out to my Epic Adventurer I got your letter this week! Highlight!!!!! (Dont you worry I wont spill to much on the interwebs)
This week was a week of miracles. Mostly because my companion is an amazing missionary. She went back and checked her old agenda and called a bunch of people and we went and had a few lessons with some of them. One was a women named Beatrice, she brought along with her, her pregnant daughter. Im not kidding you this girl was PERFECT! She didnt believe in infant baptism (check), nor in memorized prayers (check), that there should be only one true church (check). I loved teaching her because she just asked questions, she just had this thirst to know! It was amazing to see in her. Unfortunatly she couldnt come to church this past sunday but I know once she comes in she will feel the spirt. I love seeing Gods hand preparing people to hear His message.
Our menos activo (less active) and I mean LESS active. He hasnt been to church in years CAME TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY. I can not explain the joy. It was raining when we found out he was coming and I literally danced with my para agua (my umbrella) it was the best feeling I dont even know how to explain it! I just feel like things are looking up. Our investigadors are progressing, our menos activos testimonies are stronger. Things are just coming along, and I love it.
Which is good, because this week is going to be alittle rough..... In the mission we have what is called 12 weeks. Its a program to help missionaries become missionaries and this week... is pretty much letter loose week. So my trainer is enjoying taking the back seat while I take the reins. Im learning to rely on my Savior for EVERYTHING! Independence isnt even a real thing. Its good, you either sink or swim, and Im a swimmer. Life is good here. I feel so blessed. I miss everyone so much but it amazes me how quickly time passes and I honestly love my mission.
Con Amor,
Hermana Shurtz

P.S. I(kara's mom) just had to share the story she told me in my letter today. It is so Kara
Quick funny story that I know will make you laugh, make sure to tell daddy! One night my companion and I had like 5 minutes to get home so we walked passed this somewhat sketchy ally and out of the corner of my eye I saw a man running towards us. I felt him grab my bag and without thinking I turned around and socked him right in the chest. As I was going in for a second swing I saw the face and it was Andres! Our member friend who comes with us all the times for lessons. Luckily I didnt swing. Haha but I socked him really hard in the chest. I felt so bad but he laughed and said he was so proud of me. He bragged about me to everyone in the ward... so now everyone knows not to sneak up on me. I learned that it is fine to defend yourself. So just so you know that your baby girl is fine (and no I havent had any other experiences like that) my area is super safe. I havent felt worried once. I miss you like crazy mom and I knew this story would make you laugh/be proud. LOVE YOu!
