Tomatoes & Lettuce For Dry Skin, Faith & Trust in the Lord for Help Against Satan

Well first things first. My face was bleeding this week. Apparently all my time here has taken its toll. My pensionista was kidding when she said that I would dry out, but its true. My face dried up like a raisin this week from all my time here, and started to bleed. But don't worry, I have a treatment that I am doing and now my face is back to normal and even BETTER that it was. My beauty secret is "Tomatoes and Lettuce" lotion. ooooh Yummy :) Pictures attached below. Every night I need to put tomatoes on my face for 10 minutes and then later put on a lettuce lotion they have here that is super thick and white, and sleep with the lotion on my face. When I woke up the first night after doing it, my face was super dry and you could not even tell that I had put lotion on my face, but it looked way better, And now I'm totally fine. I just can't stop until I leave Potosi. haha. We had a baptism this week of three. The dad needed to be baptized but for reasons stated in my last email, was not able to. The baptism was absolutely beautiful. Everything worked out perfectly and beautifully, but her husband had to work and was not able to come. But then later that same night of their baptism, they started drinking. Please pray for her and her family. Pray that they can really repent. I feel as though this week I was really in a fist to fist battle with Satan, since my face was so dry and bleeding, but more because I can see what he is doing in the lives of our investigators. He is throwing all of his blows at this family, so they can't be sealed. As soon as we talked about temples with them, Satan started working hard, drilling problems and making healing wounds worse. But I am so grateful for the example of the poor mother, and her faith and firmness in the gospel. I pray every day that some day her hopes and dreams for her family can be fulfilled. I have never felt so much heart break, and anguish, yet never have I felt so much tear breaking joy in my life. Se que mientras pongamos nuestro confianza en al Senor, el senor nos levanta, y nuestro potencial se hincha. Amo a mi Salvador por todo lo que haga por me.

(I know that as we put our trust in the Lord, the Lord lifts us, and our our potential grows. I love my Savior for all that he does for me.) I love you all and I really loved my letters this week. Thank you for your letters. (A few excerpts from an email he sent to family, responding to questions about his district) Well finally the internet is working. I have read all the emails in my inbox but was not able to respond to any of them until just barely. Where we normally go to write letters, the power was out. There is literally the biggest sand storm in the world going on here. My district: Mi distrito no tiene muchas personas. Somos un companerismo de Hnas, y dos companerismos de Elderes. Me encanta ensenar el distrito, mas porque todo lo que he estudiado para los clases puedo aplicar in la obra misional, y las clases me han ayudado in general con todo. Mi espanol esta mucho mejor, y mis aptitudes didacticas tambien. El ultimo clase que tuvimos ensene sobre el espiritu, y olvide me cuaderno, entonces toda la clase fue por el espiritu. un poco Ironico. jajaja. (My district doesn't have many people. We are a companionship of Sisters, and two companionships of Elders. I love to teach the district, more because everything that I have studied about for the classes, I can apply to missionary work, and the classes have helped me in general with everything. My Spanish is a lot better, and my teaching skills also. In the last class that we had, I taught about the Spirit, and I forgot my notebook, so all of the class was taught by the Spirit. A little ironic hahaha.)
