Dream Team, Round 2

Hey family,
Yes Dad, we were tuned into the same revelation channel as thepresident because Hermana Graham and I have another transfer together!Wahoooooo!
This week we've been working to prepare Indira Isabel for her baptism on Friday. She's been coming to church and meeting with the missionaries for about 2 months now and she's so prepared, we just had to wait because we wanted to work with the whole family and her mom has just started coming back to church and had a miraculous change of heart (I think I mentioned her last week).
We're also working with Karen and Alexander, a super prepared couple. Alex is already a member since he was 12 but has been inactive and doesn't remember hardly anything. (Sorry if I repeat info...sometimesI can't remember if I've told you something or if that was in myjournal or to someone else I wrote a letter to, haha) Karen is getting ready to be baptized Nov 6 and is so accepting of everything and so prepared. When we talked about the word of wisdom and extended the compromiso she said "Of course we won't be drinking coffee and Alex won't either because I'm not going to buy it or make it!" Haha.
When we talked about tithing she asked us "So when would be the best time to pay, sundays after la quincena?" She has been so prepared! They don't have any major desafios so Satan is trying to throw all the little stuff at them-yesterday they didn't come to church because Alex and their 1 1/2 year old baby are both sick, and they canceled the FHE we had planned for tonight with a member family for the same reason. Grrr. But things will still work out.
This week has been a little blobbly just because of the hassle of transfers (since we're out in the boonies transfers are a 2-3 day adventure waiting for new companions to come in and we have to shift around and be in trios and stay in other people's beds and stuff. ewww.) There was a fiasco with the buses and a brand new sister getting sent on the wrong bus with all the elders from her zone when she should have gotten off where we were waiting with her new companion. It's a long story, but basically we ended up waiting at the terminal alone until 12:00 watching all the crazy drunk people walk by until we were finally able to get ahold of someone and they told she was on a different bus, had already arrived ahead of Hermana Vasquez and was going to stay in a member's house alone. In the morning Hermana Vasquez took a bus alone to go meet up with her and it was all a big mess but in the end everything worked out ok and they met up and are alive and well.
I hope to have more miracles to tell you about next week but for now that's all I got, sorry!
Last night we taught a bunch of families and it felt so good but the most positive ones aren't from our area.... :( Lately we've been getting more creative and trying to have more fun in our lessons and it's even better when there are kids because we have an excuse to play games, haha. Hermana Graham gave an example from her MTC teacher about teaching to the needs of the people. She said it's like going into a suit store where all the suits are the same, but then the owner comes up and sizes you, tailors it to fit you, sells it to you, makes you feel special in your sweet new suit. That's all we have to do with the gospel. It's always the same message, but we have to tailor fit it to everyone's individual needs. Cool huh?
Ok love you all, thanks for everything!!

Alma 29:1-4 (I think that's it...O that I were an angel, and had the wish of mine heart...)
