Hijole 5/26/14

Basically. Ijole is the only word I can use for this week. Not because it was a bad week or anything like that! It was pretty good acutally!
SO. First things first, so good to hear from you all every week. Really. Love you all SO much! 

On Tuesday, I had divisions with Hermana Moss. I just love doing divisions with Americans. I feel like I rely so much more on the Spirit, and my spanish is SO much better! ..It has to be.. haha. So we went out, and we did work. We had so many appointments, new investigators and families, all that jazz. I was basically senior comp the whole time. Started all the lessons, did all I could. It was pretty dang cool. Wednesday was Hermana Rodriguezs birthday. We were so happy to be back together. Really. She is such a good missionary, and an even better companion. I love love love her! We are always laughing. So we had Family Home Evening with our ward on Wednesday, and one member brought Churros for us... HOW MUCH DO I LOVE CHURROS THE ANSWER IS SO MUCH. Really, it was a beautiful thing. Then the elders took us out for Tortas at like 11 at night. That was a party! 
Thursday, I was really sick. I have had la gripe for EVER it feels like, and Thursday, my head started getting really really bad. But, ya know. We went and worked. President called me like three times that day to check in on me. Grateful for him and all he does. Friday, we got to go to the new Benemerito on the other side of the mission. We got to take a few of the students our and teach them how to contact. THAT was fun! Our little companionship that we had, just rocked it. Contacted un buen de personas! We were heading back to the school.. and a druggie contacted US. He was sniffing some weird liquid stuff and started talking to us. SO we gave him a pamphlet. He used my bible to show us some scriptures.. it was cool. Kinda freaky, but cool at the same time.
We got a new ward mission leader. He served in Indiana, so he knows English. And he LOVES hermana Rodriguez and I, so we know that we have a ton of support from him. My head was bad Saturday, so I was sleeping in the chapel as choir practice was going on. Because yes.. we do choir every week. Thats not awkward for me at ALL. Hashtag best singer on the planet. 

BUT. The story of the week! So we have an investigator named Ramon. He has come to church 3 times, and LOVES it. We have only ever taught him one lesson, and it was HORRIBLE. But he loved it!!!  So he came to church yesterday, and bishop started talking to him. Next thing we know, bishop pulls us out of the chapel with Ramon, tells us he has a baptismal date in two weeks and that we are to prepare him. WHAT. Way to go, bishop! Holy hannah, he is so great! So, Ramon now has a fecha. Daniela and Alejandra, our little girls, both will be baptized in about three weeks, and we have so many people we are working with. The work is really progressing here for us. Our members are really trying to get involved and help us out. Its really been nice. And our bishop supports us like crazy!

I really do love this area. As many problems as I have had, I love this work. There have been days where I didnt feel like I could even leave the house, but I do. And I know that the Lord is standing right beside me. He is helping me all along the way. I couldnt be more grateful. The mission is hard. There are bad days, there are slow days, but then there are days that are perfect. Beautiful. Where we just rock it, and we KNOW we are making a difference. I love this obra. I love this gospel. I love being a missionary. 

Until next week!
