This week has been pretty crazy, but I talked way to much today (like every week) so the letter will be short again, but Mom told me that she´ll fill in some stuff, so that´s good. :) She and her companion had a scary experience this week. They were in one of the other sisters' zones for the day. On the way home they had some guy follow them (they didn't realize that until later.) When they got back to their area and were walking toward home this man approached them and started talking (which she said is unusual. Men don't approach them and try to talk unless they are drunk.) Her companion recognized him as the same guy (from when she served in the other area) that she had had a run in with (he acted inappropriately...) They immediately ditched him and called their district leaders. The Elders told them to come to their pension and not go home. As they redirected where they were going they saw that this guy and turned and was on a path to intercept them if they had continued the course they were on. They made it home safely eventually and they haven't seen any sign of him in the area since. They are definitely on high alert. Jessica hasn't ever had an experience like this so it has opened her eyes. She (and we) are very grateful for the Lord's protection and the Spirit that warns of danger!
I was pretty sick throughout the whole week, but we still went out and worked hard, so that was good (but maybe not for my health haha). We went to the clinic to get more meds, so now I´m getting better little by little :) She said she has been to the clinic 3 times and been given different medications each time. She has had a bad cough (exacerbated by climbing hills in her area) and it moved into her sinus. She is finally felling better and is happy to not have that distraction.
I´m grateful for the little miracles that God gives us everyday. Really we can find people if we just open our mouths and talk, and God really does protect us. I´m so grateful for my many many blessings. I know God loves us, and wants us to be happy! She said that they have a great girl that they are teaching. She has lots of thoughtful questions and they are excited to continue teacher her. They have a few others learning about the church that seem to be interested but maybe aren't too serious. So they are always looking for more people to teach.
This week for P day we had a zone activity where basically we hiked and then we had a barbecue. It was fun! I´ll send a pic of the whole zone next week if I can get it.
I´m grateful for the mission and the many things the Lord is teaching me :)
Lots of love and weird weather from Cochabamba, (She didn't say anything about weird weather so I'll have to ask her about that next week.)

since we can wear pants. one day this week we decided to dress up like the elders,
and they gave us ties to take the picture haha!!
The group picture is all of the missionaries from my zone that are going home in July.
And that is just my zone.There are a lot of missionaries going home in July!!
(Her mission pres gave her the choice of coming home a full transfer early so that would
be July 31/Aug 1 or to come home mid transfer in Aug. I think she has decided to
come home a whole transfer early.)
