Week 26

Alright this week.... Was full of great stuff:)) Sorry I just feel weird because I have exactly a year until I will be in my house.... I don't want that to happen yet!

Lunes: Today was so much fun! We woke up and did our grocery shopping and washed our clothes. Then we got together with Hermana. Salcedo and her comp to do hair. Best day ever! I cut her hair and then I dyed and cut my comp's hair. I absolutely love doing this sort of thing on people:) Then we went out to write y'all. We tried to go out and work today, but it started pouring rain, like super hard! So we stayed in to do our analysis of our numbers to see if the rain would die down, but it didn't. So I introduced my comp to the music of Sons of Provo and the dance to Word of Wizzum.... Let's just say I was on something today....:))

Martes: Today we had a really good district meeting about contacting, because our district is having a hard time finding new people to teach. And our practices went really well. And I got to use my muscles today in carrying this huge box of Book of Mormons home. We have an activity on Thursday about the Book of Mormon and we're going to watch The Testaments:) Today we were able to go visit Hno. Hugo and we taught him about baptism. He was able to understand a lot more about the importance of baptism and was able to appreciate more that he took that step. Today we ate with Hermana. Sollo and we had memelas and tasajo. Tasajo is kind of like a really thin steak and memelas are tortillas with whatever you want to put on it and then you heat it up a little bit more on a stovetop thing.... We tried contacting a lot and we found a new investigator named Norma. We contacted her a few weeks ago and we went to her house to teach. She's very religious and had a lot of questions about the rules of our church, so we helped clarify a lot of things she has heard about the church.

Miercoles: Today was really good. We were able to have mormon.org time and I was able to get some music I want to listen to:) We also ate in the house because we didn't have a member to eat with. We made spaghetti with avocado:) We were able to teach Hermano. Hugo today about the gift of the Holy Ghost. he had a lot of questions this time, so we answered them and he had a better appreciation that he has the spirit with him always. We also met with Hermana. Margarita today. She is just like my Bunka, it's ridiculous... She was making little stuffed bears and rabbits to sell in a shop. We taught her about the importance of the members, because there are a lot who think that this work is for the missionaries and they don't have a part in it. But that's not true. They can share this gospel as much as they want. She really loved it and is willing to come with us to lessons:)

Jueves: Today was super great! We had our weekly planning session that went great! And we also had comida with the Familia Martinez which was amazing as always:) We also taught about the importance of the members with her and she really opened up about this with us and how she feels as a convert to the church how important it is for the members to make the investigators feel comfortable. We also went up to Loma Linda to find a reference and we have a cita with her today! Then it was time for our activity! It went so well! We had tons of members and investigators there and by the end there were tons crying. And they were all willing to take books to give to their friends and everything. And I got to bear my testimony of the Book of Mormon, which was a great experience:)... But we were late to get home.... And Elder Wagner was not happy...... I'll just end it with that...

Viernes: Today was quite a day. We went to the offices to get a name of a doctor Hermana. Molina needs to see for her back. And I found out that Mexico is keeping one of my packages because it has my retainers in it.... Bizarre.... Then we went to comida with the bishop and his family. It was super good!! We also taught them about the importance of the members and it was great because we had their son in the lesson who is a returned missionary and he gave a lot of good comments. Then we visited Hermano. Hugo and taught him about enduring to the end. He was a lot of doubts about this because he feels he has a lot of problems and can't. So we helped him feel better and know that he can! Then we spent the day contacting.... It was a long day... But we were able to contact almost 20 people in 4 hours!:)

Sabado: Today was pretty good. We started our day with Hermana. Marta and we talked about Heavenly Father and families. She absolutely loves her family and wants all the love for them. She did talk a lot again though so that was a little hard.... Then we went to Hermano. Hugo and we taught him about obedience. This was a pretty good lesson because it was pretty self-explanatory to him. We ate with the familia Montalvo and we had pizzoli, which was so good! And we had a really good lesson on faith. We had to go home after that because there was rain and Hermana. Molina has a cold. But when the rain died down we went out to contact again. It was hard though because no one was outside.....So we didn't have much success...

Domingo: Today church was great! Julia was there and in the middle of Sacrament meeting Marta showed up! It was so great! We taught the gospel principles class and it was about the law of sacrifice. They understood it and we had a good discussion. The third hour we had an awesome lesson by the bishopric about how everyone has problems, but we can be lifted up by the love of our Savior:) We had comida with the familia Ferra and we were able to teach one of their friends who has been coming to church with them. His name is Marcos and he's 12 years old and loves the church. He's going to get baptized on 11 de octubre:) We also saw Edgar and helped him feell better. He has a problem with his brothers right now and we taught him about the atonement to cheer him up. And we're going to bring him a pizza for not drinking for almost 2 months in our next cita:)

Well I hope y'all had a good week. I know I did:) And I hope that the Book of Mormon challenge is still going. The next section is Enos-Words of Mormon. I know that reading this book will bless your life. Read it and love it!
