Week 23

Alright... This was a strange week...
Lunes: We had a really good P-Day. We were able to get all of our laundry, cleaning, writing, and buying done with tons of time to spare to lie down for a little while. We also saw Dr. Morales again. Then we went and taught Julia again and it was a little hard. We were explaining about prophets and she didn't exactly understand everything. Then we tried explaining that those who wrote the Book of Mormon were prophets too, but what she understood was that the Book of Mormon was just pieces of the Bible. So we tried explaining that to her that it was written by people here in the Americas. She still didn't understand, so we're going to keep working with her until she does. We then got to visit Hugo and taught him about the restoration of the church. It was so cool! He's spent this entire time thinking that Joseph Smith made the church on his own. But then we went to explain that he saw Heavenly Father and Jesus and through their power he was able to restore the church. He just looked up at us and said, “So what you're telling me is that this is the true church that I've just joined?”  We just smiled and said yes. Then he said the closing prayer and it was so powerful:)
Martes: Today we had our district meeting, a birthday party for Hermana Martinez, and interviews with President. He is so cool! Then we went home because Hermana Adelman wasn't feeling well. So we studied, rested. Then I stretched, maybe sketched, took a climb, and sewed a dress (If you didn't understand that.... sad....:)). We weren't able to go to our meeting with Hermano Pino, so the Hermanas from the other area came over and visited us and told us what happened at the meeting. We finally had ward correlation! And they brought us soup.... Because all we're eating are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...:) We also got a sad call from Hermana Madsen that Hermana Adelman might go home... So sad!!
Miercoles: ¡¡TEMPLO!! I love going to the temple:) And this time I was awake the entire time:) And I loved having the chance to read my patriarchal blessing in the Celestial Room. It gives you peace:) After that we went home and heard from President about Hermana Adelman. He talked to the area doctor and he thinks that she need to go home and figure out what's going on, re-cooperate, and then come back. And she told me that she prayed in the temple about it too and feels at peace that it's right. She has such sweet faith it's insane:) But he also said that I'm having special changes because of it, so I have to pack my bags too. So we spent the rest of the day at home, resting and talking:)
Jueves: We immediately started packing this morning and cleaned the house. I wrote a few letters too. We also went out and bought chapulines for Hermana Adelman's family and tried to say goodbye to some of our investigators and members, but no one was home. Sad!!! Later that night the other Hermanas came over and visited us with Dominos and Boing:) For Hermana Adelman and also Hermana Martinez for her birthday. It was really fun:) And I found out that my special changes were with the other Hermanas, so I really only needed to pack for the week because I can pass my house anytime.... Gah....
Viernes: Today we woke up early in the morning to be ready to go to the offices. We had a member take up there and it was a really fast goodbye. So sad... But then me and the other Hermanas went to my house to pack stuff for the week and to wait for the garbage man to come. Then we went to eat and bought a birthday cake for Hermana Martinez from Tartamiel:) Then we went to teach a few of their investigators. And we got to see Eufemia and Hugo.
Sabado: Today we spent most of our time in the other area of the Hermanas. But today we got to see Eufemia and Edgar! He hasn't had alcohol since July 15! So great:)
Domingo: Church was really great and Julia came with her granddaughter! And I got to meet some of the members from Puerto Escondido that are friends with Hermana Martinez. We got to eat with the Familia Limon. And then spent our time teaching in the area of the other Hermanas.
You have 2 weeks left to finish 2nd Nephi!!
