hola familia we had changes on tuesday and i am now in an area called chitre it is 4 hours now from the city not 8 but i have enjoyed this week getting to know the area and the people i thought it would be hard and all but you know me i like to talk and its alot easier for me now to carry on a conversation.  We had stake conference on sunday so the president was here for the weekend my companion is hna vasquez and she is from honduras she is 31 years old and is a little different but im going to try my best to have patience and to help her the best i know how. she had an interview with the president and  because im new i didnt know much about her but we all have problems so ill just say im trying my best to keep her here in the mission she only has 2 months in the mission and i have 8 now so everything i have learned im going to do the best i can.  ok our house mmmm where so i start first of all the first thing my compaion told me is that we have mice i said oh really nice well its a good thing im tired everynight i do wake up in the middle of the night around 4 and can hear them in the ceiling and another thing is there is alot of poop around our house so i try to clean what i can while my companion is showering i have not unpacked my clothes i think im just going to live out of my suitcases ha because if you can imagine the house smells like mice and my compaions clothes she finds poo and they stink ha ha ha its the mission im not complaining but i think ill just live out of my suit case for now. oh and in the morning while we do out excercises the mice run past us ha ha.this week there was alot of work to do we dont have many investigators and none that are progressing but i have faith that we can find more people they end of the week i was happy we had 15 investigators so we will see if they all progress.  some things i really liked in elder neil andersons talk in sep.  ¨pray for increased faith.  Thy faith shall fail not.  nourish as you go though a trial.  protect your faith, serve one another, share your testimony.  No trial is so large we cant overcome it , learn to be wise. trials will be trying, remember it is on our rock of the foundation. as we remain faithful we will be stronger.  witness follows your faith with faith comes trials of faith i really liked this talk if you get the time re read the talk or listen to it but i hope everything continues to get bellter i will keep samantha in my prayers i love you all and this week try to increase your faith love ya hna ericson
