I am so glad you got it in time. (Keli sent a small package of cards/letters/SD card with short video of herself for mother's b-day). If you could send a bigger SD card back I can send longer and better videos for birthdays and such. I am really glad I could make you laugh some at my 51 reasons why I love you. 

I love that you feed the missionaries. In the last transfer I got fed four times. I've got fed twice this transfer already and I will be getting fed this Saturday too! It really makes the missionaries feel loved and welcomed in the ward. Keep it up. :)

That is so sad! I haven't heard about that. That's really sad. (I told Keli about 3 missionaries who passed away this last week, 1 from an automobile accident and 2 from carbon monoxide poisoning). Mom, we are in El Salvador. We don't have those things... I'm sorry to freak you out.(I asked if she had carbon monoxide detector. Truth be told, she doesn't have a furnace and I'm pretty sure not even a water heater). I am glad you are helping people to understand that the Lord has his timing. They were just such good missionaries He needed them to work on the other side of the veil. To die while serving Christ would be the best way to die... at least I think so. That scripture is beautiful it's really amazing (Mark 4:39-40. It is Jesus speaking and says, Peace, be still. Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? I am trying to remember this when I am stressing or worried about Keli, and I shared that with her). We need to remember always to put our faith in our Heavenly father. He knows better. 

My new companion is Hermana Ontiveros. We're still in the same area (Miramonte 1). She's nice and she works hard but she's not Sister Olalere. I miss sister O. so much! But Hna. Ontiveros is really nice. 

My week has been good. I am finally working full days! Wow it feels good. We met a new family who we think we can really help. They're actually friend of a member, which is just awesome. I'm sure she will come with us if we ask. So that's just awesome. We haven't had any super positive people to work with. There are a lot of people who are so prepared but they just keep being silly and making up excuses for why they don't come to church/get baptized. There's so many times I'm thinking... Just get in the font!

I email President and just tell him what's going on. If I am having a problem then yes we tell him. But for the most part we just talk about an experience or about our area. It's nice because he 's the only one that reads it. :) Why do you ask?

AW! Yay for Tana! That really awesome! I am so proud of her. (Tana is her cousin who is getting married in the temple this week). I really miss going to the temple every week with you. I decided when I get back (we usually get back on Thursdays) I want family dinner of just you guys at the house. Then Friday I want to go to the temple with you, then lunch, then a movie. And Friday evening with family again. And Saturday a party at aunt Vickie's. That's just my thought process. :)

Gabby is so funny. I love hearing the little stories about them. I wish you guys would record some of them and send it on an SD card or something.

So you're going to be a little mad. I have been having chest pains for the past week so I've been on muscle relaxers... well over a week. I think the nurse is making me an appointment. So chest pains, back pains, and in my left upper arm.

So Monday was fun. We went to President's for pizza (since Sister O. was heading to Belize). I ate like 3 pieces from Papa Johns. And I had a dr.'s appointment. It was great. I am all better! Well I still should be a little careful with food but other than that my tummy is fine! Woo hoo! Thank you for the prayers!

Tuesday was hard I was still on a heavy muscle relaxer. (for the chest pain...sigh!)

Wednesday I was sad... Sister O. left and Hermana Ontiveros arrived. And I got my package. I will be honest... I opened some. (it was her birthday package. We wrapped EVERYTHING. And I told her not to open them until her birthday). I really didn't want ants to get into any food so I opened some. But don't worry, I have kept some things wrapped. :)

Thursday we met the new family.

Friday we got fed by a funny less active member that we're helping go to church (and this winter to the temple).

Saturday we had a lesson with the new family. WOO HOO! It went good. It will take a month or two... but it will happen.

Sunday, church was great. I loved it! We got invited over for lunch this Saturday. And a less active member fed us arroz con leche. So good. :)

I would of had things a little more in depth but I left my planner at home. Sorry! Also I ate some of my frosting you sent me for your birthday. :)( silly girl! The frosting was sent to go on the cake which I also sent-in mix form-for her birthday).

I love you so much mom!

Siempre tu hija,

Kelibell. :)

I am doing good. My health is getting better I just have a head cold that makes me sound super funny. My week has been good and I am getting up to working about 6 hours a day. I still need breaks every now and then because my stamina is not as high as it was. However, I am doing super bien. :) I have not gotten my package yet but I got letters from Elder Ryan Cocke, Bev. Cocke, Stacie, And Sister Miller this morning which was awesome. :) 

Rachel and Stacie told me they gave you the present early. I think that is such a perfect gift for you! I can't wait for Stacie to send me the photo too. :) Haha. Mariah is such a stinker... but that's just her. Food that's yummy but inexpensive that you like...? PIZZA! Haha. Pizza is always a good idea. 

It's starting to rain a lot, which might have added to my cold.  I guess I'm really getting into the rainy season. Yikes. I want photos of them (nieces and nephews) at the fair! I'm a little jealous I don't get to go. Haha.

My shoes are doing pretty good. I think I might buy another pair or two for the rain, so that way I don't have to wear my huge boots for just a little rain but I don't ruin my nicer flats either. My feet are doing just fine. My ones from Payless are holding up the best. :)

So this is my week......

Monday we visited the Melara family and it was awesome. However the mother, who'll be having a baby around my birthday, was feeling sick. So we offered to bring priesthood holders over the following day for a blessing. So Tuesday was so, so awesome. Hermano Gomez came with us and gave her the sweetest blessing and was a really great help at explaining the priesthood. I am so very thankful for him. We also started English classes and we had a few people turn out and it was super fun. I also found a delicious pupusa place that has really good natural orange juice. I seriously think I found a little piece of the celestial kingdom. :)

Wednesday was the temple trip! It was a treat for us getting over a 1,000 people to the temple activity last Tuesday. I loved it! I loved it so much! I could understand pretty much everything even though it was in Spanish. I loved it so much.We have a super positive investigator who is a less active's girlfriend. She is seriously so amazing! We also had another English class. The two hermanos who showed up are super funny and it was a blast to teach English. I love having Latina companions but I would be okay with another girnga to help me out with these classes. Haha. 

So Thursday we went to the area of the elders in our district. Oh my goodness. It was awesome. We had this lesson with this family. The daughter is baptized but her mom was being kind of indifferent to the elders. Then Hermana O gets up and tells her kids to hug her, Then we begin to testify of the power of family prayers. We got called the following night... SHE'S GETTING BAPTIZED!

Friday for lunch we had Hermana O's first convert come with us. It was so awesome. She's a sweet woman who is preparing to go to the temple. I cannot wait until I have a convert who I love like Hermana O loves Martha. Saturday night at like 11pm we found out Hermana O was going back to Belize! Which is just so crazy! I am sad but I know it will be okay. I just wish we had one more transfer together. Saturday we also had dinner at a member's house. MOM, it was so delicious. Grilled chicken, garlic bread, rice, and mashed potaotes. I was just in heaven. Then this Hermana, Hna. Lopez, had us skype her friend who is taking lessons from Elders in Toronto who was confused about some stuff. We cleared everything up for her and we also got to meet her non-member sister. It was so awesome Mom. I loved it!

Sunday we spent a lot of time with members and Sister Lopez invited us over for dinner again since Hna. O is leaving. We talked with one family and the hna. said we were the best set of missionaries they've had in a while. Mom we got fed so much yesterday. Arroz con leche, galletas, fresco de piña, and jugo de naranja (rice pudding, cookies, fresh pineapple, and orange juice). It was so delicious. Just so much love from every single member. Sacrament meeting was good too. We had one recent convert there, one less active, and THREE investigators. Man, the work is finally starting to move. 

As for today, we have lunch at the president's house (for everyone who's going to Belize and their companions). And I have a dr.'s appointment. It's just a check up to see if I should still follow the diet they gave me of not. So I will be doing that later.

I love you so much mom, Thank you for everything you do. You should be getting a letter soon so be on the look out for that. 

Siempre tu hija,

Hermana Kelibell. :)

Well for my week....

On Tuesday we had an activity in the temple area (consists of distribution center, capilla, and the temple). We had two investigators go and it was so amazing! They loved it. Myrna went to an early session of it and then Natty came to another. I was so cool that they went. I also got to see my last district/zone from Sonzacate which was super nice, including my first companion Hermana Escobar. I was so happy to see them all and they were pretty excited that I was doing so much better. :) Also I was not feeling to good Tuesday and neither was Sister O. After talking for a little about the trials we are going through I simply smiled and said, "If you're not Jonas, you're Job." And Job got everything he lost back double of what he had lost. So I think I will be having a really good looking boyfriend, a good scholarship, and amazing relationships with all of my family when I get back. So that would be so awesome. :) Haha.

Wednesday we taught a lesson with the Melara family (who we are trying to work with getting baptized) and the lesson went so amazing! The spirit testified so strongly. I could feel the spirit just talking through me! It was so amazing! Also we got lost trying to find a reference and met this awesome guy named Enrique. He's a very strong Christian but he lets missionaries from all over the world livve with him and his wife in their upstairs apartment. How nice! He told us we could use his computer and internet to try and contact the church so we could get the number of our reference. He told us we could stop by anytime. Such a nice guy. 

Thursday we did intercambios with another set of sisters. It was pretty cool. I got to go with Hermana Torres and we visited in their area. I loved it. We met with this cute little investigator, only like 14 years old. I helped her with her math homework. Then we visited these two younger guys, also investigators, When I introduced myself he went in to kiss me on the cheek! Which everyone does here but no guy had ever tried that with me before, recognizing that I am a missionary! When we told Hermana Jiron (Hna. Torres' companion) about it she laughed and said it was because he liked me. Which explains why he was listening so intently to what I was saying. Oh my gosh it was ridiculous. This kid was leaning in and looking at me, smiling and nodding his head with every word I said. It was for sure super different. Haha.

Friday was a sad day. My wonderful district leader, Elder Bustos, had bought a ticket to go home. He got sick a little while ago and so he's been having issues with feeling adequate and just really struggling... however... HE IS THE BEST MISSIONARY I KNOW!!! So after all of the sisters in our district found out we planned a lunch for all of us to have on Saturday. I'll talk more about that in a minute. So after leaving the house of our cook to go home and rest a little before going out (I was having a little problem with my stomach again) a guy sitting a this table called us over. Dude looks north american but told us he was from El Sal... Which I just don't believe. He then asks what message we had for him. after talking for a while he asked us about the songs we sing. So we break out our hymn book and sing. After he cuts us off he asks if there are joyful songs... so we pick another and sing. He stops us and then uses his iPad to play music that he's talking about. Then he tells us to close our eyes. After 5 minutes of like"uhm what?" we do it and he sings. He sings a christian rock song in Spanish... so so beautifully. It was amazing. After we left him we went to the house to rest a little so my stomach would get better. Then we go out to another investigator's house and we get there just before it starts to POUR (no worries we had our umbrellas). and she was asking about where we lived and we described our house. When I told her we owned a pila and that's what we used to wash our clothing she offered for us to use her washing machine! How sweet! Then her daughter drew a picture of me and Sister O. She gave that to Sister O and gave me a painting she made. It was too stinking cute! But she's slowly working on her own testimony. It will take time but she will be a member. :)

Saturday all 8 of the hermanas met at Pizza Hut. Then when Elder Bustos and Yos got there we kept them outside for a minute then. We ask Elder B to show us how to tie a tie. He takes it off and shows us. I then ask if I can try. Do it near perfect. Thank him, take it off and then blindfold him! Then we surprised him with all of us and Mom, it was so amazing! And he told us Saturday night he is staying! Also Saturday night I got fed by a less active member. Yummy tamales. We had awesome lessons that were just so filled with the spirit. It was amazing.

So yeah, that's my week. I love you so much mom. Thank you for everything you do. I love you!

Siempre,

Hermana Kelibell.
