I Am Pretty Cool




Wow it sounds like you guys all had a crazy last week! I bet you all wish I was there, you know to clean up your messes, set up food, make food, and everything yáll don´t want to do.  No it´s ok I get it, I would have wanted to do it too!!

My companion and I have decided to make our own dinner and not go to the penchinista.  WE get too much food anyways.  We went to the supermarket, it´s almost a Dick´s.  We spent almost 400 B.  We got veggies, fruit, cereal, peanut butter, tortillas, cheese and other easy stuff.  I also got a Diet Dr. Pepper with cherry, you can say I am pretty happy about that! There was also a market in town because it is a holiday tomorrow.  Mom I found the prettiest box for your box table! I am obsessed.  Yea now I have to carry it with me forever but I had to get it! 
 
So during our weekly planning my companion said to me that because of me this is the happiest she has ever been on her mission! She´s like I have always been happy but with you it is just better.  So I am pretty cool.
 
I almost forgot, mom I found a yellow sweet tart! I thought of you.  We also have these really yummy mint m&ms oh they are soo good. 
 
Ok back to business, so I was writing another poem and I thought of something cool.  You know all the keep calm and carry on things? I made a new one, ¨Lift them up and carry on¨ I want that printed with a little silouette of the temple.  I am pretty cool.  
 
The other night I had a really cool dream.  I was praying before i went to bed that I could feel the presence of grandpa and Scott and Monte.  I just needed it.  I had a dream that Scott and Monte came up and gave me a hug.  Don´t know where grandpa was but I can´t complain after having a very spiritual experience like that!!
 
So yesterday we had 3 lessons with members! One member wanted to accompany us all night so we were like sure! I bore testimony to Daniella, she lost both her parents and is pretty much alone, that her family is being taught in the Spirit world by my family because I am teaching her here.  I showed her a picture of Christ with his arms out and told her that if she accepted this gospel she will be welcomed like this with her parents on either side of Christ.  I told her her parents are accepting the gospel and are praying that she is too.  Since she didn´t have anywhere else to go she came with us to our next appointment and well had lesson 3 too! So I hope to see a progress in her.
 
We went to visit Ester and Carolina the other day and their store WAS CLOSED.  They can freaking close it to come to church.  Come on.  They are so amazing and I love them so much!! We finally got the area book from the elders and I was looking through it, they have never come to church.  Que triste.  
Since half, well more than half, of the time people flake out, we decided to look for ancient investigators.  It is almost like a treasure hunt.  It was fun, but no one wanted to hear us.  I guess that is why they stopped.  
 
I was talking to Blanca, a menos activo, she is really sweet.  I told her that i have about 14 weeks left in this area and i want her to come to church each week.  she likes me a lot so i didn´t think it was too much to ask.  Yea she didn´t come yesterday.  Her daughter, Alejandra, is utterly amazing and she eats up the gospel.  she comes a ton! She wants to be baptized but it´s almost selfish to baptize kids when their parents don´t come to church.  So we still have to work on Blanca.  They are planning on moving to Florida in 3 years.  People here love Florida, i don´t get it . . . 
 
Pur penchinista is amazing and i love her.  she made pizza the other day! Then she showed us her scrapbook, she has been to 10 temples in Utah! including the bountiful one.  We were talking about that forever.  
 
We taught Victor Hugo again.  I told him that Joseph Smith wouldn´t have died, and that no missionaries would be away from their families if it wasn´t true.  I was pretty ¨Holland¨with him.  He seemed to accept it more, but we just don´t know.  It´s hard.  Especially becasue our next lesson isn´t until tuesday.  Thats the thing people are flaky and then they don´t want a lesson for another week! It´s the worst when people are flaky in Mordor, we go there almost for nothing. 
 
All is well here! Hope my stuff is well too, hahaha.  Glad Jake locked himself out of everything he needs.
