Hola Familia!
Hey, so I am still not really sure, but it could be that my return date has changed again. Elder Bednar is going to come on the 20th, and so I think that they have changed our date to the 26th of October, but I am not really sure. The office is still trying to work things out.
Second update, ¡CAMBIOS! So I didn´t change sector. I think I am going to be here in San Francisco for the rest of my mission which is great, I really love this sector, and I do not want to move my suitcases again until I have to go home. I don´t really mind changing sectors, but I hate moving my broken suitcases in the subway and the buses and walking as well, it is awful. This morning as I was carrying Hermana Ruiz´s suitcase down the stairs in the subway the handle broke and her suitcase went rolling down the stairs.
Oh, so I forgot to tell you, so my new companion is Hermana Anderson from Draper, Utah. She has about 6 months in her mission and is full of energy. I am so excited, this change is going to be really great. We´re going to baptize the world!
Guess what, the Athelete´s foot cream is working! So it seems that I have Athelete´s armpit, but it is getting much better. Mom, you were inspired when you made me bring that stuff.
So, just a few milagros (miracles) that happened this week. First off, I found out today that a family that I found and taught in Los Mares almost a year ago got baptized yesterday! The familia Ortega Cuevas. It makes me super happy. They are going to make great members.
I am pretty sure that I have told you about Nestor y Karen. This week we had a super awesome lesson with them, we watched the movie from the church that is super old, Together Forever. Then we taught about how we could have eternal families, but it is only if we do our part here on earth. We found out that the only reason that they are not married is because Karen is already married, but they have already done all of the papers for the divorce and everything, but for some reason the government hasn´t approved the divorce. We talked about fasting and we fasted with them this weekend. In the end of the lesson Karen prayed for the first time in a group. She started crying during her prayer and Nestor cried too, and okay I´ll admit it I was a little teary as well. It was just one of those experiences when my heart was full.

Also, Guillermo commited to live the Law of Chastity. He has already talked to his girlfriend about it and even though she doesn´t like it and doesn´t really believe him he is completely happy living the law of chastity now. He is now ready for baptism, he will be baptized on the 23rd of September. He has to wait until the 23rd just because he has to work this Sunday.
So there is a family in our ward called the Familia Peña, they are both return missionaries and have two young daughters. Well Sister Peña´s dad is from Uruguay and came to visit for a few months. He has shared with the missionaries before when he was in Uruguay and had a dream that he got baptized. So now he is here living with his daughter. His daughter told him that while he is here he is not going to smoke, drink, or drink coffee and he accepted. He has gone to church twice and he really likes it, it is really funny because when we teach him he says things like "If I change to this church, I need to start doing this..." and things like that. He is really funny, this week in Gospel Principles class the lesson was on Family Responsabilities, after the class he leaned over and asked, "And what to I have to do to get married again?" Then the teacher announced that next week´s class is on Eternal Marriage. We told him that he could find the answer to his question in the next class.

Next week is indepence day, 18 de Septiembre. But because the Chileans have decided that it super lame to celebrate on a Tuesday, they have announced that September 15-19 are all holidays. How funny is that? But it should be super awesome.
Love you all!
Hermana Evans
