Hola AMIGOSSSS

Well it has been another wonderful week!! It went by so so fast and time just seems to be slipping through my fingers faster than I can catch a hold of it.

Wednesday we had a lot of finding, which is fine, but it was all during the tarde (afternoon) which usually isn't successful... BUT THIS TIME IT WAS!! I wasn't really wanting to go out and knock doors but before we left I just prayed "Heavenly Father... Please help us out. Please help us find someone who's ready." We went and just found. We met a lot of really cool people. One of them was Duglas. I saw him in the window as we were walking up. He is from Honduras and is here alone. We talked about where we go when we die and saw him again on Friday. He was really shy at first and wouldn't say much, but we got him to loosen up by the end of our lesson on Friday. We met a couple of other cool people, but they weren't there when we went back for our return appointment, so we'll see what happens.

FLYING SQUIRRELS. As we are leaving Duglas' house on Wednesday we are walking away and out of his GIANT tree (Like at least 50 ft up) I here this huge thud, right where Hermana Jensen was. I look back and see a squirrel scurry off back up the tree. It had jumped from 50 ft and missed Hermana Jensen by all of 2 ft. I was dying, Hermana Jensen actually almost died. #deathbysquirrel Her death almost came 2 weeks early. I guess you had to be there. Hey it's the little things that keep life happy. :)

Emmanuel. Well he was our investigator that was the preacher. We finally met with him again and he just expressed how confused he was by everything and he expressed his desire to learn. After that lesson he DISAPPEARED. For 3 weeks we tried stopping by (we're in that area a lot and so whenever we were there we would see if he was home) and nada. We went with an ultimatum, okay, if he's not there this time, we have to drop him, we'll stop trying. We go and he's not home, but as we are walking away his roommate pulls up. His name is Daniel. He was so so cool and we talked to him for a bit. He told us that we could come back and teach him sometime next week. The next day Emmanuel finally calls us back and we set up a lesson for that night. Daniel came and sat in on the lesson. It was awesome!!!! Emmanuel helped Daniel see that we are there to study and learn, Daniel helped Emmanuel see that we are not nuns and real humans. :) It was a good combo.

We had our interviews with President Innes this week. That was so wonderful. President Innes is just such an inspired guy. I have been reading and studying a lot about the 4th missionary and what it takes to just be the best servant of the Lord possible. I hope I can give all that I can because I really do love my Savior and love the people here and want them to be happy. He also told me we get to go to the temple in like 2 weeks!!! Which is definitely the best news ever. We'll see where I am in 2 weeks. Hermana Jensen is leaving so I could stay in this area (which will be my 5th transfer here), or maybe we will get whitewashed... To be continued...

We also had stake conference this week! That was interesting! Elder Parker, an area 70 came and talked to us. He talked about why bad things happen to us. He had a cool perspective on it. He was also the most Southern Baptist Mormon I have ever met. He's up there shaking his Bible with his thick Georgia accent. He was neat. He just got called to be a mission president in Jamaica.

Well I know the church is true!! I love being a missionary. Have a blessed week y'all.

Con mucho amor
