Week 60-September 22, 2015

wow sounds like the funeral went super well. and ya i know i need to figure stuff out. ill ask pres today. 

and no i didnt get sick this week, thank goodness haha we ate TONS of empanadas. also we spent all our money on Herbalife, a smoothie thing everyone uses to loose weight and we start tomorrow so we spent the week enjoying our last onces (dinner things) with everyone and telling them they cant give us more food after that :P we will see how well it works. but it was a fun week. we were a little worried because its always hard during holidays because everyone is busy or goes out of town but we fasted last week and saw the blessings. we found a few new investigators that are awesome and our investigator Valentina who has been an investigator for a while came to church! on saturday, we went to help the elders in their sector and ended up meeting a lady who was going to be hospitalized the next day for cancer and who told us we had arrived in ël momento preciso`^^and that is was a miracle that we had found her. we said a prayer with her and testified and such and she was so grateful for the comfort before her surgery and such. also this is the third cancer she has had and she is still alive! she shared with us her testimony of God and it was awesome to hear. anyway, we may not ever see her again but it was a blessing to be able to meet her. we also found an investigator named Tamara knocking doors in our sector the same night and the Spirit was so strong in the lesson. she also said in her prayer at the end that we had arrived in the perfect moment. crazy to see miracles like that. God must really love us. anyway, it was a good week. lots of temblores after the earthquake. (little earthquakes?) like 3 every day. we havent slept a whole night without interruption for a few days :P but its ok they are pretty fun. 

anyway, glad all is well there and hope you all have a fantastic week!

love you tons!

Week 58--September 8, 2105

hey mom :) love you!  glad you are doing well . a few legistics, i went to the dentist and im going to have to do like 300 dollars of cavities (7), 3 of which were the ones that i could feel. i will do those three monday so if you dont want me to do the rest for some reason you can tell me next tuesday but he says its better to do all of them now or they are just going to keep getting worse and more expensive. hes an ex bishop i think and such so i trust him. also i saw the ex rays. also the truth is im probably going to need nose surgery after the mish too but thats another problem haha how great it is that im only 21 and can still use your insurance:P haha but ya also if you love me i have a huge favor to ask...can you just send me black toms (or any variety similar) and the little socks for flats? thanks im desperate. this week i almost broke down crying in the street two times because of shoes. its seriously one of the hardest parts of my mission haha never could have predicted that..haha

about coming home i just know i will get pretty frustrated at home for 3 months but i dont want to come home either because i want to finish. im going to ask president..

for mybirthday the other sisters sang to me and we had cake and a little party and then we had a zone meeting and they sang too :P unfortunatly im new in this sector so none of the members, etc knew so it was just a normal day other than that. haha but its all good :) it was a good birthday. thanks a ton for the package :) love the skirt and all the chocolate and such was delicious and thanks for the diet hot chocolate!! this week was a good one but a little more difficult. lots of walking, in sun in rain with wet feet and bleeding feet and all kinds of adventures :P haha but we are doing well and fasting works and doctrine and covenants always gives me answers. also i was studying and trying to develop humilty last week and i feel like Gods helping me out :P haha this last week we also had lunch in the presidents house to celebrate one year in the mission. it was fun to see my whole group again. we get lunch in the presidents house when we arrive to the mission, at one year, and before going home. when i got here the presidents house seemed normal, pretty but normal, but this time it was like another world. the entire neighborhood is like park city and his house is like a mansion ! everything seemed super rich. haha then i realized i had been in the other side of the city where the houses are small and such for a year and thats why.  president lives like 2 hours from the mission. but it was fun to have lunch and see everyone. anyway, that was my week. hope everyone is doing well! love you all!

Week 57-September 1, 2015

Week 57-September 1, 2015

hey everyone!! i am doing great. it was a good week. all of a sudden it got super sunny and pretty hot so now we feel like its summer. also we found lots of new investigators this week and one of them even came to church! all three hours! solo! haha he is awesome. his name is eduardo. then there was a YSA activity in the evening and we went with him and valentina, another investigator and so that was fun, although we felt suepr weird to be at a YSA activity and be missionaries..haha what an adventure. also spiritual experience of the week is that i went to the temple last tuesday and went with the question of what i else i needed to do to be the best missionary possible for my last 6 months and felt strongly that i needed to study more and really develop the christlike attributes in PMG. so last week i studied humility and learned a ton. one of the things ive really learned in the mission is to appreciate the small miracles every day and let them strengthen your testimony. also this week is Charity and i learned this morning in 1 corinthians 13 than even if we serve all our life and even give everything for others, if we dont do it with charity, it doesnt mean anything. also that charity is even more important than faith and hope. haha pretty crazy. but i have definitely felt more love for everyone and i am much more patient now. :P its a lifelong process. we are excited about this week because we have some activities with the ward this week and nicole and ignacio are going to be able to come to church this week and such. its going to be great .) anyway thanks for all the birthday wishes and the package (that i havent opened yet) and love you all!!!
