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!
