Buenísimas tardes todos!

Mandatory selfie for mom. 

Okay. Lets get started with the Journal Entry blog letter.

Monday we learned how to make shampoo with sabila. I think that means aloe. I'm still not entirely sure. But apparently its supposed to help your hair grow faster and not fall out as much. Guess we'll see if it works.

Making Shampoo

 

Later we had a Noche de Hogar with a new family that just moved here from Mexico City. They are pretty much awesome. The Hermano still isn't a member and we are working alot with him. He's great. The whole family has so much faith. 

Tuesday we had a Multi zone conference with the president, his wife, and the mission doctors. They yelled at us pretty good. haha. just kidding. It was a good conference. I learned a lot and have a lot to work on. Later we ate with an hermana and had some lessons. We are working really hard with an investigator to help her stop smoking. She is super great. She has had a lot of problems in her life but shes awesome. She is so strong.

Wednesday we had Interviews with the president. That went well. He really helped me understand some things. Especially that success isn't measured by baptisms. He knows that I am working hard and the Lord does too. That's what is important. Later we went to a baptism of the daughter of one of Mine and Hna Rosas converts. It was great to see that the gospel is spreading through their family. 

Thursday we had planning and then an hermano came to finally fix our shower. They fixed a leak in the shower head and also put knobs in the shower so we don't have to turn the water on with pliers. haha. I think I forgot to tell you guys that a couple weeks ago they finally came to fix the boiler. So after  2 months of cold showers I'm finally able to take a hot shower. Its pretty awesome.

Friday we worked a lot with less actives. It was a pretty good day.

Saturday we found some new investigators, worked a lot with those that we have and had a really good day of lessons.

Yesterday we found 2 more familias. One with 2 kids and one with 6. So that is awesome. They are both awesome families and I'm really excited to keep teaching them. Also we ate sushi for la comida. It had avocado. I didn't die. Either I've become imune, the Lord blesses missionaries so they don't die when they are forced to eat bad things, or I was never allergic to avocado and the stomach aches i had last time i ate it were a coincidence.

Today we went to look at some good segundas (don't worry, we didn't buy much). But my companion started feeling sick so we came home. She threw up on the bus...haha I know how she feels. Been there done that. Today she is going to rest. I'm gonna see if there are some hermanas that can help us out so that i can work while she rests. 

Hmm...Other news of this week...Oh yeah. Next week is transfers. I think we will be staying the same, but who knows. Anything could happen. I can't think of anything else that happened this week. 

The Church is so true. It is the ONLY true church on the face of the planet. But that doesn't mean we will get saved just for being members. We have to work...HARD. Every day. But it is worth it. Keep your covenants! Say your prayers! Read your scriptures. The Lord loves you. He will help you.

Love you all!
