This was a good week. We were looking for new people to teach. Even though we didn't find any, we were able to find some less active members to visit.
This week we really felt the end of the rainy season and start of the hot, dry season. It's like living in an oven, but that's ok, I'd rather be in the heat than in the snow. Nothing new going on, just good ol' missionary work. Starting on the first of March I will officially be the most senior sister missionary in the mission, I can't believe how fast it's gone! In the blink of an eye I'll already be home! There have been so many blessing that I've felt because I've come on my mission, and I've learned so much. Even though there have been challenges and hard days that I've had to overcome, it has all been worth it, I'm so glad for the opportunity to have come all the way on the other side of the world, all the rejections, hard words, and hot days, and all the smiles, laughs, and shouts of joy. Every extra mile and every downward spiral has left me to rise again and become stronger. Thanks everybody for always supporting me and cheering me on! Here's to another 6 weeks of hard work.

This week was really good. We had my last Zone Meeting of my mission (that came by really fast, where has the time gone?), we also had a wonderful baptism and saw our investigator baptized this Saturday. It's been a great week and next week is going to be great as well! This is Sister Christin, she's pretty great! There's one hill by our house where you can see a skyline. Here in Indonesia there's not really a 'downtown', but little groups of tall buildings amongst all the short homes, but it's kind of cool. Here's one of the streets here, a lot like America ya? Last P Day we went to the Surabaya Zoo!
This week was so much better than last week! We actually know the major streets now so finding our investigators wasn't as bad. We have one investigator from the last sisters that is ready for baptism and we've been focusing on teaching about the impotance of families this week. I know that this gospel can bless families so much! I've seen it at home and I've seen it here. This gospel can help us in all aspects of life, especially within the walls of our own homes. The weather is pretty weird here in Surabaya. Last week it rained pretty much everyday, but this week it didn't rain too much, except last Friday. The road in front of our house flooded! As we went to our investigator later that evening, we had to go through flooded traffic jams. THAT was fun! I love Indonesia!!! here are a lot of rivers in Surabaya. This is one of them! Us at the same river a couple miles up the river. Taking some light reading at the book store.
