Se nos Acabaron los Datos (18 Months!)

As you can tell by the title, our datos or our data has run out and this makes it a lot harder to do the work and gets pretty stressful. We can't really text anybody or call anyone through whatsapp without so it's been a pretty stressful week trying to plan out the days and week and then inviting everyone to church. But it's still been a good week being a missionary here in the Isla. 

This past week we had two intercambios with both the District Leaders to get the transfer started off. The first one we had was with the younger of the two, Elder Dixon. He's a dawg and had a really good first district council of the transfer and in his time being a missionary. We found some pretty cool people and had a very spirit guided day finding people and teaching people along the way. Then we had another one and I went with Elder Patterson who is another older district leader and we also had a pretty solid day. We were looking for quite some time but still when we are finding people anything can happen and we had some funny moments. I think the highlight of the intercambio is when I got to try Maracuya cheesecake or passionfruit cheesecake. It was fire and will be asking for more in the coming weeks. 

Also this week was officially when President and Hermana Suarez went home to Paraguay and President and Hermana Taylor came in to start running the mission. I honestly haven't had the chance to get to know the Taylors but we have Leadership council and Zone Conference. So hopefully I can get to know them better. It should be cool because they are from Draper Utah and so it should be fun to serve along another Utahn. 

Anyways, I'm pretty exhausted from last week so this is all I got for the email this week.

Miss y'all
