Last Week, Some Interesting Details

HOLA! its been a great, interesting week. i had a surprise visit from the president the other day. Had my interview and it really was nice. it was a little pickmeup! I have now committed to finding families that are married. because I'm honestly now worried about some of my conversos. But Ive learned my lesson the hard way. in my zone we have something called Ojo del tigre, which is Eye of the Tiger. haha i know that makes me want to see the song. but it has really changed my perspective in this work and I'm gaining a testimony of it. it has a list of things that we need to do everyday. 1. Orar por familias casadas 2. Hablar con cada familia 3. Palabras de Fe 4. Practicas

After doing all of these things we found a family! and it was weird how it happened. The Lord answers your prayers in ways you really don´t expect at times. 

 

 

So we´ve been teaching Rocio (yes another rocio) she´s 24 and a book worm so she reads everything that we give her. I love it! Her little niece is always there listening to us her name is Erica and she´s 8 years old. But Ive only greeted her mom. We invited Rocio and Erica to come to church and Erica said she wanted to go. Rocio didn't really promise anything. The next day Domingo, we´re walking to church and all of the sudden i see Erica in a car with un hombre. Erica came to church with her dad who i never met! to make the story short, we taught them a lesson after church with a member and found out that he´s married. 

I am so grateful for how the Lord answers prayers. Its so true if we put in all of our effort the Lord will bless us. i cant tell you who excited i am to start working with this family! and i also learned that if I'm opened to changing how i do things the more success that brings. I am so grateful for this gospel and for the joy it brings in my life. I sincerely hope that all of my brothers and sisters can be a part of this joy. I love you all so much! I'm far away but I'm learning so much and I'm becoming a different person. A better Harmony.

 

 

Hope you all have a great week! hahah you know whats sad i didn't even realize it was the Superbowl this past week.

So i forgot to tell you some interesting accidental things that have happened in my mission so far. don't ask me why i forgot! The day of new years i decided to buy ice cream and we were doing divisions so i was with Hermana Mumford she was asking about all these flavors and trying each one and then she got to one that she didn't like. Me liking to try everything that's food. i went for the spoon. as soon as i put it in my mouth i didn't feel right. and then the lady sad it has alcohol in it. I was literally about to cry in that moment to be honest. and i had the nasty breath of a drunk for a few seconds. thank goodness the spoon was a pea size. Well i learned to not trust ice cream ladies here...

 

 

Another thing! I learned a new word the other week with Hna Urquia, Piojos. Lice. We found out that she had lice and i went insane!! i couldn't stop thinking about it and then it made me itch. the next morning i went and brought one of those fine toothed combs. just to make sure that i didn't get any! ahhh hahah thank goodness i don't have lice. but it was worth the doubt. enjoy these embarrassing stories.
