We went to Scotland today!

So this p-day was pretty sweet. We had an activity with the hna's and we went up a mountain which has two abandoned houses and the most gorgeous view of all of huehue. It was so pretty! It was colder up in the mountains so it felt like Scotland and looked like Scotland with the green hills and the sheep. It was awesome. We were allowed to wear pants today and I felt super faaaaaaaaaaaat. Missing my skirt for the air and for the fact it hides my fat. Anyways enough of that. But yeah, today was super awesome. And afterwards we went to a Mexican restaurant which was super delish. But let me tell ya the bus ride up was horrible. I felt like I was going to puke and die.  My legs were smashed against the back of the seat. Sorry ranting about random stuff. 

On Tuesday for district meeting the AP´s came to talk to us about talking to 10 people every day. The new AP is so AWESOME  - future apostle right here! Seriously!! He gave an awesome talk. It was what I needed. Then after the AP’s finished the stake president (who lives in our ward) came and talked to us. It was what we call a machete. But it was a smooth and a much needed machete. He talked about the difference of casualidad and causalidad. Which is chance and reason (I think reason I don’t know the translation of the other word in English) but he talked about how this is a great reason and a purpose why we are here. There is no chance in the plan of God. It was so awesome. And he also told us that he if doesn’t think the missionaries are good. Like disobedient and other stuff. He calls our president of the mission and asks him to kick them out of the area if they are being lazy, which is a little intimidating. But he is such an awesome guy and doesn’t mess around when it comes to the work of the Lord.

I had the weirdest lesson of my life! There is a guy we are teaching named Leonel. Not the Leonel from the familia de Leon another Leonel. He lived in Missouri and he told us that he tried to kill himself 7 times and was in the prison for drugs and all sorts of stuff. But when he was in prison he found God. And now he is an evangelist. Love the evangelist’s, great people but a little crazy.  Anyways he knows the bible inside and out let me tell ya. And he looooooooooooves to talk. Anyways we taught him about the BOM. And one day we were trying to teach him the restoration. We were in the middle of the grand apostasy and he was going to ask Hna Lopez a question and asked "Hna Lopez.... wait why can’t I know your first name?" then we explained why. Then we were all, I understand and blah blah blah then he said, “oh do you guys have songs in your church?”   And we said yes. Then he asked, “will you sing me one?”  So we sang Teach me to Walk in the Light. Then he said, “Oh I want to sing you a song”. Then he sang for us it was super interesting. Then he told us there was something in his heart he wanted to tell us and he started praying really loudly and crying. Really weird. Really random. But he went to church on Sunday. Just for sacrament cause after he left to teach the people in prison. But yeah we will see how things go with him... 

The best lesson we had this week was with Sandra. A member of the familia de Leon. We have a goal of baptism for her this Saturday. Her thing is she wants to get baptized after she finishes school. But she had a very powerful dream and KNOWS that this church is true after that dream. The thing is, she just doesn’t feel prepared. But we talked to her and explained so much and how much the church with bless her family.  We talked about temples and also how Satan attacks us when we are trying to the right thing. It was awesome and I hope tonight or tomorrow this date with be a sure thing as well with her brother. They are so awesome and just so unbelievably intelligent and SO READY for this gospel it was amazing. 

The language is coming along every day and gets better.  I can’t believe I’m about to complete my 5 months in the mission and I can’t believe it’s so close to Nov! I’m excited for the 31st here. They don’t have tricking o treating. And in Huehue they only have a serenada. Where the men sing to their girlfriends. There is just a ton of music and everything. The members say it’s an awesome night. So I hope we will be able to see part of it. 

I love my mission so much. It’s such a wild experience. It can be so hard and so stressful but it’s so amazing! I love all these amazing people I get to meet. And I can’t believe if I never decided to go on my mission I never would have met these people. They are incredible! I have made so many amazing friends here and have learned a TON! And still have a lot to learn. I love this gospel and I love my Savior. It’s so incredible that he knows every single one of these people and he wants them to follow him. And I have the opportunity to help Him in this work. It’s awesome. It’s hard but it’s awesome. I love you all and miss you soooo much! Thanks for all the love and support. 

Lots of love from crazy huehue,
