Well I tried to put picture on but I couldn't get it to work sorry! Don't want to waste all of my time with them! Anyways to clear things up haha the "elder" that was in my picture the other week isn't an elder he had hna paris tag on he is Carlos our menos activo that we are working with!! Haha but he is amazing! He is changing so much and it is so nice! He talked with the bishop this week about his mission and he can't leave until he finishes high school but that is his goal right now and next month he will receive the priesthood melquisedec haha I have no idea how to spell that in english! Haha anyways! So we are very proud and pleased to be able to work with such a wonderful young man!
This week my birthday was great! Really it was a great one that I will never forget! In the morning I got an egg smashed in my hair... thank you hna musmano.. haha I was pretty mad until I found out that it is a tradition here.. and then we headed out to work! We worked all day long! It was a long day but we had lunch with my favorite member family! And it was good! They gave me a chocolate bar and it was super nice because this family is super humble... they don't have much so it meant a lot to me that they would buy that for me! They set a goal to go to the temple to be sealed in July of 2015!! I am hoping that it will be when I am back here with mom and dad and that we will be able to see it! I would love it so much! That night we had a lesson with the other sisters converso he hasn't wanted to talk with anyone and hasn't been coming to church so when he said that he wanted to talk with us we where pretty happy the lesson was super good and he got a blessing from the bishop! It was really great we are hoping that he will come back to church his bauptism was only in January so we have all been pretty bummed that he isn't coming to church but we will see how that goes! After we went to our most recent converts house! Micaela, Andrea, and Viviana and had pizzas for my birthday it was super good¨!!!! Yummy yummy!!! It was fun to have a little bit of a party! After nothing much headed home and planned the next day we had lunch with another family for my birthday! And they bought me a cake! it was super yummy!!
Our mission president has focused so much the last couple of weeks on helping us understand that we have to hasten the work and that we are never doing enough! We have to always do more and more!!! So we have been contacting literally everyone that we pass in the streets it has been really good. It has helped me with my Spanish to just talk with people! We just talk with them for like 3 minutes but we have been able to find some really great invest. por medio ese!! (though this)
This week we have had some really amazing lessons and miracles in our area! We contacted a new family that are golden! They both work a lot so don't have a lot of time to talk but really they are great! It is a mom (Anna) and son( Franko) her husband died about 3 years ago so she has had a lot of questions about the plan of salvation! It has been really good to be able to teach her!
I am so blessed here in the misson! I love serving the Lord! Really it is the best thing that I have ever chosen to do! I love the people! I love the culture!! I don't love the food but hey it isn't that bad!! I have transfers this coming Sunday and have no idea what the Lord has in store for me! I am super sad because it is almost positive that I will get a new companion and I really love her so much it will be crazy to change! But hey this is the work of the Lord! I am here to do his will! Like my favorite hymn... "i'll go where you want me to go, be who you want me to be!!" Really I am here only to serve him! I can't believe how fast the time has flown here but I will serve him with all that I have for the next year!!! I am so excited for the many adventures that are in store for me!! A little bit scared but I am on the Lord's side! We all know who will win in the end, so why not join the fight!! We don't have any need to be afraid!!! I love you all so much!!! Thank you so much for the support!! Wish me luck with my 1st transfer!!!
