Wow what a great week! Really the beginning was hard, but man it turned around quick! That is what is so great about serving the Lord, when you are doing bad it is so easy to turn around super quick! Because he is always here for you no matter what and I have learned that a lot this week! About 2 weeks ago we had cambios and I don't know why I didn't write about it sorry! But I am still with hna Pari because she is training me! My missionary mommy! Haha she is great! But our district leader changed! He was the junior comp. to our other district leader se llama Elder Brown he only has 7 months in his mission! Which is crazy that he is a district leader here because us Americans never have that haha - usually 12 months! He is a great leader I look up to him a lot and he is leading our district to success! Which is great! Oh he is also a trainer so our district is all newbees! Haha but it is good, 4 Americas and 2 Latinos! We had zone conference this week also and it was so great!! Our zone works really hard and we have great success! Our mission had 1775 baptisms this last year (2013) and our goal for 2014 is 2400! The lord really is hastening his work! Also we had interviews with our mission president! He is truly called of God! I am sad that we are getting a new president soon because I love him and his wife so much but he has bigger and better things to do! In our interview at the end we had been talking for like 10 minutes and I got up to leave and he said that my spanish is really good! Haha I think that he tells that to everyone but it made me feel great! On wednesday we were in a lesson and one of our invest. called us on the phone so hna Pari took the call and I just sat there for like 30 seconds thinking to myself, "crap what should i do..." but we where teaching lesson 1 the restoration and I always teach most all of this lesson so I put my big girl pants on and taught the lesson! All by myself!! It was a great feeling I was able to understand her and I hope she understood me! We have another lesson with her this Wednesday so I guess that it wasn't too bad! Also hna Pari was proud of me! We are teaching a boy se llama Alejando and he is 15 years! He is great but the only problem is that he doesn't believe in God.. but he is praying and trying to increase his faith! This last Monday in FHE I about died - Dani this story is for you... I was getting into my backbag to get out my agenda to write something down and it was in the middle of the lesson so I was trying to be quiet... well don't worry, there was a huge spider in my backpack... I freaked out! Like it was terrible and so they asked me what was wrong and of course I don't know the word for spider so I then had to explain that there was an insect with 8 legs in my backpack.. it was most likely the funniest thing for them because I was freaking out and it was hard to talk haha great story so the mom took my bag and stared looking for the spider but couldn't find it.. she was like there is nothing here so I then thought wow I freaked out for nothing so I start to look for my agenda again... nope still there freaked out again and she took it and grabbed the spider with her hand and threw it out.. and then said that thing is small.. not small - huge!!! That night we went and got foot long hot dogs! They where great and I have a picture of that! On to the best part! Our baptism! se Llama Sabrina she is great! So cute she has 9 years and has been taking the lessons for about a year but lives with her grandparents so we could never find her mom to get her permiso! But this week we found her and she signed the papers!! It was so great! Friday it was raining hard and so we had fear that she would be able to make it to her baptism so we prayed and prayed and prayed some more! And the Lord answered our prayers the rain stopped and we where able to have a great interview she was so cute she needed help with the interview questions so she kept asking me to quiz her! So I helped her a lot! Saturday was wonderful! Really so great! To see her enter into the water of baptism so was great! It was almost my day... but I held it in! Haha she is wonderful and you can see the glow in her eyes! Plus she was at church yesterday so she received the Holy Ghost! It was so great! This week has had its hard points but man it has turned out amazing! I am so grateful more and more everyday for this mission. I learn so much and it really is amazing! SO SO hard but SO SO SO SO worth it I would change it for the world! To answer some questions of people my favorite food here is the empanadas! They are so good! But something different this week I ate was cow stomach and I hated it! But usually the food is really good! Not much different really but very good! I am just sick of breaded chicken and rice.. 15 more months to go with that one! Thank you all for the kind words! I am sorry if i don't write you back right when I get your letters but I will try! Love you all talk to you soon! I know this church is true and love serving the lord! Talk to you next week!
