Week 16 & Week 17

5/28/14

Okay so this week SO MUCH HAPPENED! I dont even know where to start just so much going on and yeah there were a lot of tears this week good and bad!

Okay

Monday: Monday was a normal p day we played futbol and did our normal thing not much happens on p days well other than talking to everyone I know haha.

Tuesday: We had a great day! We ha a zone meeting in the morning and we were actually on time to this one. After the zone meeting we went to the tianguis to contact and buy fruit because its cheaper and such and we were doing some contacting but not much. We had to eat out that day we ate at this little cocinita it was pretty decent the tacos were good. After though we contacted 35 people an all time high for our companionship! Lets just say I went back to la casa ready for bed and very satisfied.

Wednesday: Was normal from what I can remember. I dont remember a whole lot from wednesday but I know that we did a lot haha.

Thursday: Everything went down hill FAST..... We had an investigator who was ready to be baptized and went in for the entrevista and the person who did the entrevista said that our investigator wouldnt be able to be baptized. Our investigator was heart broken and angry. We had anothe cita so we went there and returned to the house of that investigator and he told us tht he didnt want to be baptized anymore because they told dhim that he would have to wait two weeks. My comp was tryin so hard with him and then we left again for another cita. That was Thursday so many tears.

Friday: We had entrevistas con presidente. Mine went well and like every Hermana thatshas an entrevista con presidente we all come out crying. Its the best. My comp went in and told presidente the situation with our investigator and the next thing I know is that I was called in the room and presidente dijo your going to have a baptism tomorrow because based on the testimony of my companion ella sabe que su investigadore esta listo para el bautismo. I couldnt believe it! That day was better.

Saturday: Was so hectic! We were preparing for not just one baptism but 3! We had un Niño in the ward that turn 8 and was ready for baptism, our investigator and and investigator from the elders. It was so crazy! Haha okay so these 3 baptisms all have something funny about them haha. First to go was the Niña from the elders. she wsa baptized by her older brother. Haha the first time the prayer and almst everything went great except she didnt go under the water all the way do they had to restart, well the brother didnt know he had to say the blessing again so he just dunked his sister again really quickly that time he didnt say the prayer so he had to do it one more time and the last time everything was perfect it was just super fast haha. The second baptism was the 8 yr old, he had memorized the entire prayer and his dad was baptizing him well his dad forgot the first part of the prayer and his son, the 8yr old says Dad! no you forgot such and such! It was a little bit funny. The last the Bishop did haha when he got in the water el dijo "oi que rico" which means how nice or oh how good directly translated haha and our investigator gets in and says the same thing haha oh just to tell you now you investigator is 82 yrs old and has put on quite a few pounds. And so the bishop says the prayer and put our inves. in the water and when he tried to get back up he could barely lift him out haha aftert he comes out the water they close the like doors to the room and the bishop says I just want to go for a quick swim and lays back in the water really quickly well our investigator does the same they both just sat there playing in the water for a ouple minutes having a good time. oh it was awesome!  My comp and I had to give a short lesson after the baptisms and we were infront of the font when all of a sudden we hear a loud slam, thud, SPLASH!..... Oh! EL NIÑO SE CAO!!! from our investigator! we open the doors to the font a little bit and our investigator in in his boxers and he pulling a little kid out of the water. Hahaha I was a little worried at first but after we all just laughed. it was the funniest baptiams but they were all super good too!

 Sunday: We went to church and taught a few menos activos. it was a very peaceful sunday.

well that was my week! It was a roller coaster but it was good! Oh! On the 5 I will have officially 3 months in my mission. Time is soooooo fast!

Week 15

5/21/14

Well yeah I was super excited to see everyone and I gotta be honest the mission is pretty exciting! There's always something new and fun to learn about here and Ive been in Mexico for two months in an area that is tiny. So Im excited for the all the new things that I get to do and get to see. 

It always seems like you guys have so much to do during the week! Its crazy! 

Well all in all your weeks sound stressful but thats a good thing. I glad that sarahs baby is doing well! Aw I forgot bralyn is getting married soon! Wow its seems like not too long ago they were in maui but thats pretty cool!!! Yeah I think Ill have a better hang of the whole skype thing in December. Yeah no Justin is the See's oldest son and yeah its crazy how time is! I mena hey in December Ill have 10 months in the mission so its not for too long. Only 7 months more and itll be December and the december after that Ill be home so no worries. 

The Book of Mormon is the proof of our religion. In Isaiah 29 it talks about another testament and that its sealed until a certain time. In the BIBLE it talks about the book that we have right now. I think thats proof enough and also the miracles that come from just reading it are amazing.  

I read a little bit of that talk and I remeber it from conference. I have ots of notes on that talk because it applies so well to missionary work and when you feel discouraged to try to meet your goals for the week and how we only have a year and a half to two years to do the work of God, so right now we need to work and keep working until we are asked to stop. We can't stop not in this mission because we have so little time. 

Yeah I dont get a whole lot of time to write but I do write every now and again I think ll start writing in the mornings from now on. Health wise everything is great! And happy.. Im a missionary. Im sorry that Cadens sick though thats gotta be rough. Hope all goes well this week!

Love ya!

4/21/14 Week 11

4/21/14

Aw enserio!! Thats not cool! thats sweet the you got a new computer though. I cant think of anything that I need really ya no se. I totally forgot about Easter..... although the atonement has been on my mind a lot lately.. I've studied a lot about it! and Its so important because its the center of the gospel and we need to use it everyday to find strength and forgivness. Oh since conference I would encourage everyone tio have they're own preach my gospel. The lessons are so basic but you can find so many wonderful new concepts in them. Also chapter 6 is probably the best thing I have ever read and studied.

Well now you just have more room for new pictures in the future haha. Sorry that happened though. This week was NOT busy at all! because there a catholic holiday and since everyone is catholic here they take like two weeks off of school and work to just go on vacation. It's aweful...... No me gusta.... oh tambien I had divisions this last week too and there was no one home even the members were gone so we didnt get a whole lot done this week. Oh!!! We have a baptism this week!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!! Haha I dont know if I told you last week but all of our investigators are really old I mean like 80yrs old old. Haha its the best because I dont have to teach the awkward lesson of the law of chastity haha. Not that the law of chastity isnt good but its just awkward to teach. haha Well to end on a less weird noteI hope all is going well the end of the school year is coming up soon! thats gonna be fun for summer be there. Love ya all
