| Happy "Halfway" day - 9 months in, 9 months to go! |
OKAY so this week was a little loco, but it's okay.
First
off (don't freak out mom) but my acid reflux got way bad for a little
while there. So that was the worst because I couldn't sleep at night
and we couldn't work a lot because it was a rough time and the nurse was
like you need to take a break, so that was WAY frustrating for me, but
it's all good now. I'm feeling way better! But it meant the week was a
little lame, and it was rough with Halloween because it's a day off
holiday for the evangelicos (i don't know what that is in English) and
the next day is a holiday too so everyone just checked out for the
weekend haha.
But we still got a lot done this week, and worked with a
lot of less actives and recent converts to up our attendance numbers!! So it went well :) OH and now I'm halfway through the mission! I only
have one of the pictures because my camera died, but I'll send more next
week I promise!! But yeah, J left town so he didn't go to church. Y said she doesn't want to get baptized, and A is MIA, so it
was kind of a bummer. But hey, after an awesome week it almost always
has to be the refiners fire! Like President Uchtdorf said "Don't wait
for a rainbow before thanking God for the rain." I know everything is
going to work out great!
Funny story of the week, we contacted this guy
and he starts speaking to us in English with a way heavy accent and
turns out he is an American citizen! He showed us his green card and
everything haha and he lives in New York but is here visiting family. He
was waiting for a colectivo (a mix between a taxi and a bus) and then
it got there so we wrote down his address and he got in and drove away. But as the guy was driving off, J (that's his name) yelled GOD BLESS
AMERICA DARLING! Haha - we died laughing.
The mission is too good, and I'm
so glad I still have 9 more months to enjoy it. I love you family, I
carved a pumpkin and thought of you :) DONT LEAVE ME THIS WAY! Hope you
all had a good Halloween and have a good week this week!!

My friend Kevin sent me this talk, it's awesome!! http://speeches.byu.edu/?act=viewitem&id=1819 We
all make mistakes, and others do to, but part of the gospel is
repentance, and we need to leave everything in the past after we have
repented and not let Satan make us think we can't progress because of
that, faith is pointed forward! :) love you all!
