11/10/2015

Hello freaks! So this was a pretty good week! Kinda poopy too hahaha! So the lady that I talked about last week didnt make it to church this week so she cant be baptized with her family this week and they wont be baptized without her! Super bummy but gotta do what ya gotta do.

We will have two baptisms this saturday though and I am super pumped because one of the asked me to baptize them and thats always an awesome feeling!

Not too much has been going on though. I got to talk with a lady that is 104 years old and she was pretty much the most amazing person I have ever met in my life! She is so healthy and funny! She said that one day we will learn how to work like her haha!

Here are some pics of a guy in the ward playing the accordian for us.... I want one... And here is a pic of my face when I get mommys christmas packages early! woot woot

Goodbye losers

Miracle

Hello my loves! So This week I had by far one of the coolest experiences of my life. We were just getting to church on Sunday and our investigator had called us and told us that his wife had cut her wrists and was asking for us. We ran (literally ran) to the church and got two members to drive us to their house. When we entered there was a lot of blood and she was crying super hard saying that she didnt want to deal with this life anymore. (this is the family that we have had marked to be baptized the last few weeks but she didnt want them to be baptized) Of all the people she could have called she called us because we have already given her two blessings that have cured her. We have her a blessing and she immediately stopped crying, and was smiling and laughing! She said that she wanted to be baptized with her family and she told her husband to throw all of their booz away and she pulled out her nose peircings and demanded that we go to their house every day and catch her up on all the lessons.

This was one of the most spiritual experiences I have had in my life. I know that priesthood power is real. I know that. I know that this is the true and living church of Jesus Christ. I know that. I know that the authority and power to act in the name of Christ is here on earth. I know that.

Thanks for all the love my friends and family.

Here are some pics of a slug that I found in my shoe. (yes I had already stuck my foot in the shoe) Other picture of my planner and my desk. (just thinkin about Halloween and skiing.... not homesick for those things)
 

 

Burgers and Rain

Heyyyllooo friends!

This week rained and rained and rained and rained a little bit more... It also rained. 

Last P day I made some pretty awesome burgers and fries and just thought I would send a pic to my fellow Americans who understand a beautiful burger!

So we had three interviews for baptism this last week and one of them didnt pass and the other two passed but cancelled the baptism 5 hours before! Their family couldnt come to the baptism so they marked for the next week! I was super upset because we have transfers today, but with my beautiful luck I got to stay in the area!!.... With my companion....  I know that by far this has been the hardest relationship in my mission but hey I get six more weeks to learn to love him haha! He is a great missionary and I have a lot I can learn from him! 

We got to go to Curitiba this week because my companion had to do a medical check up or something and My goodness Maria!!! Curitiba is so beautiful! I had never seen the city itself! I felt like I was in the states again! I was also super closterphobic (spelt that wrong) because the buildings are huge and there is no end to them! 

Well thats all folks!

Te amo
