Dear Family,
Loved reading your letter! We had a great week this week, filled with many miracles! We were able to bring a lot of members to our lessons this week, que benção! Also we had a family home evening this past tuesday and we watched the restoration film! i love that film! and joseph smith! every time i hear the story of joseph smith i learn something new! I gain a stronger testimony every time i watch that movie. It was very spiritual and a great family home evening! We were able to teach some great lessons with dona l and our other investigators this week. Also, we have been trying to contact this one family for weeks now and have not been able to get a hold of them or find them in their house. we randomly (no- through the spirit) decided this week to try one more time. As we were walking to their house we walked passed 2 guys. Me and sis nagliati both had the impression that those were the people we were looking for. Well, the guys ended up stopping us and it was d- the dad of the family! we were able to set up another appointment to come back and visit them. God is so good. 
Yesterday was stake conference for us and it was SO good. we talked a lot about how members need to help the missionaries. We were able to bring d and f! dona l was SO ready to go but of course she didn´t sleep well saturday night and she woke up with a lot of pain and stuff. She told us she had everything laid out ready to come with us - her dress, her bag everything. but in the end she couldn´t come! We were heartbroken but have faith that she will come this week. Rain or shine i am dragging her to church this week. She is really making a lot of progress, She is having a hard time changing because she is pretty elderly and pretty catholic. But little by little she is changing. She also has a very hard time remembering stuff and so she will say prayers but only if she can repeat our words. so in her prayer the other day we had her ask for help to leave virgin mary and she hesitated but said it! And then me and sis nagliati sneakily took 3 of her virgin mary pictures. The next day we explained she received and answer to her prayer! haha she said she is thinking of jesus a lot more now! yay for dona l.

Well transfers are coming tomorrow and i will be receiving a new companion.  sis Nagliati is going to be transfered. I am really sad to leave her, but it will be good. It is hard because we are having a baptism this friday! i have so many feelings. I am really nervous to have to lead the area agian, to try and prepare everything for the baptism, but i am glad i have this opportunity. I am learning.  . I know everything will work out to be good, i am just a little nervous!  The atonement is such a needed thing. I am beyond grateful for a savior. 
Sounds like you guys had a great week, how fun to keep up the tradition of lagoon. Looks like it was really fun. It is always nice to have a break from school. Thanks for activating my card. I hope this week goes well with our baptism on friday! keep praying for D! She is going to be such an amazing member, i just hope everything goes smoothly. I am glad i get to be a missionary, because every day and week i learn how much more we need a savior. I know that heavenly father sent his son because he loves us so much. He wants us to be happy now and forever. I hope we can all find more ways to rely on our savior and become more like him! 
Love you Guys,
Sister Emma Hulsey
