FIRST! Meagan, about the short tie, we were having short tie Tuesday on Monday and we actually got yelled at for it hahaha. Yes, I know the tie is supposed to go past my nipples ;). Next, no more Dearelders to the CCM please for anyone! I won't get them, they'll get thrown away. Just start sending them to Quetzaltenango and I'll get them eventually! haha.
Next, Nicole, I got your comps scripture cases, they're not exact but I tried to get the closest cutest ones and I had to fight a sister in my district for them so savor them. I'll be sending them with Hermana Parker so keep a look out.
NOW ON TO THIS WEEK IT WAS SO GOOD OH MY GOSH!!!!! First, we had a practice with some real members to practice understanding and teaching people we didn't know. We taught a guy named Antonio, he was probably late 70s and talked super clear so that was pretty rad. He was converted in the late 80s and his testimony was so crazy strong. I know I was able to understand everything he said because of the spirit which was crazy just in our little space! It gave me a lot of hope about missionary work, about the fact that people will change. We have this message and people are waiting for it and they'll accept it and change for it, and that's amazing! We didn't really teach what we had prepared but just kinda talked and shared testimony and experiences it was so flippidy dang cool! NEXT, we were able to go contacting again for a second time! We weren't going to be able to because of the new schedule but the night before president made some calls and made it so we could go again and it was sooooooo good. We met a guy in a meat shop that was hanging out and we just kinda waved but he spat some English at us so we went back and started talking to him (in Spanish) and talked about the restoration a bit and we were like "well we can see that you're working so..." and he cut us off and was like "nah, I'm not busy I can talk now!" so we ended up talking a good 15 minutes with him and when we were like "so would you like to learn more?" he was like "how about tomorrow afternoon?!" we told him we couldn't make an appointment with him but we got his reference stuff so the other missionaries can contact him, it was so freaking cool.
ALSO! Yesterday I got a thing from Lisa that had a bunch of pictures of the wedding! MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS THAT I SAID A BIGGGGG HUGEEE THANK YOU!!!! IT all looks sooooooo good!!!! Not much else happened this week, mostly just finishing up, teaching a lot of our teachers, studying a lot, getting ready to get out there. Going tracting got me soooo ready (PS Wimmer and I went, not with a Latin comp) and I'm just so psyched to get out there and so ready. ALSO, We'll either be writing on Monday or Tuesday next week because were leaving Tuesday so probably Monday so write me before then please! LOVE YOU ALL! I'm so excited to read the emails that I got and Meagan and Dad can expect snail mail in the near future. But yeah, that was my week, love you all, the gospel is true and have a good one!
