Crazy week!!

OK sorry for the last letter it was really short. So I'm going to try to give more details. My new companion is from El Salvador. She has a TON OF ENERGY!!!!!!!!!!! We are opposites, but she wants to work, I want to work so that's what it is. She is from the same stake as one of my previous companions. She is 19 and comes from humble circumstances. Her parents are converts and she has an older sister who is special needs. Her brother just returned from his mission in Nicaragua. She has 5 months here in the mission. We are working our butts off.
This week our district came to work in our area. Helping us find people that are ready to hear the gospel. We´re at a dead end. I feel like the second coming will happen in like an hour. There is so much wickedness in the world. We´re trying to find and help more people come to the church house, but its not easy here. In the mission it was never easy but right now it is really hard. We were the primary presidency again this week. 
Well the great thing is that our district is baptizing. There are 10 people who will be baptized the next week in areas around our area. The mission for just the month of June has baptized 96 people. I am grateful to say that one of those 96 is one of my converts. These last couple of days we have been freezing to death. The people here think we are crazies to leave in this type of weather. But we keep going. 
I love you guys so much. Looks like things there are pretty crazy. I cant believe that i will be seeing you guys in about 5 months. It is passing by really fast. And I don't want to come home. I'm working. I am not worried about the things that are happening there because I know that my sacrifices are giving you guys much needed blessings. 
so I don't know what else to write.....WE practically were swimming in mud to get to the homes of some of our investigators. Did I ever tell you guys that before coming on the mission I didn't think that the missionaries worked in this kind of weather? And that those Sundays they just stayed at home reading the scriptures....Well that's what I thought. But I was very wrong. I am very tired. I know that I have little time left. I'm reading the scriptures and trying to apply them in my life. 
Love you guys with all of my heart,
Hermana Ross
