Week 59: IT SNOWED

Image
Yes if you read the title it snowed! IT snowed!! IT FETCHIN SNOWED!! We woke up on friday to snow yes snow!!! I. COULD. NOT. BELIEVE. IT. my companion flipped out at her first experience with snow and it was just mind boggoling. I was dumb founded to say the least. It lasted less then a day but still it was just. Another fun story: like usual we are working and i need to use the bathroom but theres literally no place to go and i needed to go. We casually walk past a very large catholic church and i stop and my companion literally goes " do you have to go that bad" i shrug and walk in and theres literally only one person so we quietly walk up to her and we notice shes praying so we awkwardly stand there waiting for her to finish and we are just glimpsing around  when another lady enters, notices us and storms towards us and literally starts yell screaming at us and literally throws us out of the church and shuts the door ( it was like a scene in a movie ). We were kind of star...

Week 58: 13 Months!!!!

Buen día!! Como están? This week was a lot calmer than last week. Its a short email because nothing happened. We finally have the money to travel back and forth to our area with ease and i met every member ( its not hard theres only 3 jajaj ).  For the first time in my mission i street contacted. Yes the first time EVER. we have recieved permision to break the rules of the mission because in our area there are only about 3 members that live in our area so in order to find new people we have to start street contacting. Its super fun i really enjoyed it and its easy jaja you just have to follow the spirit to know who to talk to and we were only rejected once and wow we found people who gave us their number without us even asking. None of them came to church so now i understand why we dont do it, what a waste jajajaja. We put one of the new guys ( miguel ) we found on the street on date for baptism and he accepted. He didnt come to church but he has two more chances so pray for Miguel...

On monday we didnt have pday because we were still working at the temple open house and we finally got to do a tour!! We were given a private tour of the temple and WOW ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! The tour guide with his wife took us into all the rooms. While we were in the sealing room I was standing right in front of the mirrors and I saw a Billion jordans looking at me and it made me laugh jajaj but it made me think of how lucky we are to not only be with our loved ones here in this life but that we can be with them after death as well. Later the tour guide and his wife took us to  the brides room and we had such a spiritual moment where his wife told us how special we were and the spirit was so strong that we were all in tears. They then told us to stand one by one in front of the mirror and see how much god loves us and wow it was so amazing even though i looked ugly jajaja I knew god loved me so much in that moment and that i truely was a daughter of god who loves ...
