This week we are only going to talk about highlight (and lowpoints) of the week. I don't have a ton of time. 

Our investigator that was progressing really well broke up with his girlfriend (member) and didn't cmoe to church :( :( :( 

Our baptism for friday cancelled last minute because her stepdad said no. but we talked to him and next week she can get baptized.

We had a relief society activity on saturday and the food was really good.

We moved houses and I really like our new house. 

We had 5 investigators in church. That was awesome.

I'm really sorry. I'm the worst. I have to organize my time better. We'll see if next week i can do better. I have 2 more mondays to try to improve. jaja!

Love you all

Scary. But awesome.

Buenas tardes!

Yay. Another week that went buy insanely fast. You'd think that after a while, I wouldn't be surprised by how fast time goes. Nope. Still gets me every time. Lets see what my agenda says we did this week...

Monday. Just a normal day. We found an investigator that we hadn't been able to see for a while. She accepted a baptismal date and has a ton of interest. So we are excited. We had a lesson with an investigator that is progessing. He is going to get baptized in May. :)

Tuesday. We had our District Meeting like normal, had some good lessons and went to our Coordinacion Meeting. Except our Lider Misional didn't come...so that wasn't very successful. We are planning an activity with the ward. Right now we are announcing it as a secret activity so that the members get curious and go. It should be fun. I hope everything works out.

Wednesday. We had a multizone conference with the Presidente. They asked me to do part of the capacitación (training). So I had a 25 minute Presentation. It went really well even though I was super nervous. I didn't die. So that's a plus. I spoke on a talk from Elder Tad R. Callister of the 70 that he gave in the MTC in 2008. About being Misioneros Consagrados. Super good talk. AFter the conference we just ate with a sister from the ward and had another lesson before we went to Ward Council. That was fun because we just sat and listened and they didnt even give us time to talk... Love when that happens.

Thursday: Planning! Its the best part of the week. We put a goal for a baptismal date with another investigator for 8 May. That's pretty much it.

Friday: We got to visit one of my recent converts who is doing awesome. She is so great. She's reading the Book of Mormon and even though she doesnt understand it completely, she loves it and is excited to follow what it says. We ate with the Presidenta of RS and she is making me a dress so we did the measurments. I'm so excited. Friday night we met the Sisters from Olivos in our church building and we did exchanges. I went to Olivos and Hna Urbina (from my generation) stayed with my comp.

Saturday:

 I worked with Hna Garcia. It was a really successful day. The members of her ward pretty much know me now. They don't get surprised when I show up because they know its just for a day. We got back to my ward in the evening and had to go have the traditional "Thrifty" ice cream. Its Ice cream from the US. But I have never heard of it before the mision. Its super delicious though.

Sunday. Was good. We ended up having to go to a super boring meeting in the STake Center. It aws the elders turn to go, but because I am so nice and generous, we took their turn. jaja. 

Fun facts of the week:

They are closing a bunch of Chinese Restaurants here because they found out the were using dog instead of pork...That's gross. But its fine because Ive never eaten Chinese food here in Tijuana. The members are dying though. So mad!

Last month our ward baptized more than all the wards in the mission. (11 baptisms) So that's kinda cool. 

We are looking to change houses. So that should take place this week or next week. We'll see how things go,.

That's all I have to report for this week. Hope all is going well for everyone there. For those who havent talked to my parents lately, the countdown is at 29 days. Scary. But awesome. 

Love you all!

..so that ruined our plans

Hola Familia!

Not much to report this week seeing as how I was in the house pretty much the entire time. I've decided to stop working. Haha JUST KIDDING! My companion was sick and seeing how all of Mexico goes on vaction during Semana Santa, we coudln't find 2 hermanas to help us (one to stay with my comp and one to go with me). So I stayed with her and cleaned. 

Last monday we went to walmart again and may have accidentally bought shoes at a store right there close. But it was worth it. I spent 149 pesos (about 10.50 dollars) on a pair of cute shoes for Sundays

Tuesday was the District meeting. Pretty normal and boring. 

Wednesday we had the Leadership Council like we do every month. Except in the conference, they announced that we aren't going to have them every month anymore. Just once a transfer. So that was my last one. Really sad about that. I love those meetings. While I was in the council, my companion stayed here with a joven that is getting ready for her mission and they kept working. But when I got back, I saw that my companion was still coughing and not feeling very good, so I took her to the doctor. (She did NOT want to go. She was a little mad at me.. oops) The doc told her she had bronchitis and a whole much of other stuff and gave her meds. Also told her she couldn't walk around in the sun...so that ruined our plans.. I think she doesn't know what missionaries do...haha

Thursday we planned. Well. I did. The meds made my comp really tired and she slept a lot. After that, I cleaned, updated my journal, cleaned, studied, cleaned, ate, studied and went crazy. I do NOT like being in the house all day.

Friday. I had 2 sisters that were going to be able to accompany me and the both cancelled last minute. Spent another ful day inside.... :(

Saturday Conference! yeah. Loved it. The missionaris there (the oldies) got really excited when they called Armando Carreon as a 70. (the old mission president.) We even were able to watch half a session in English. I loved the talk about the music of the gospel! My favorite. After that we went home to take her meds and she got kinda dizzy so she laid down..and fell asleep. More time inside...

Sunday! Conference. Woohoo! I almost died when they announced the temple in Bangkok! I turned to my companion and told her "I think my mom just died." haha 

Like I said, not much to report. 

Love you all!
