Another Surprise

So we had an activity with the zone today and at the end of it the zone leaders told Hna Cordova that she has changes tomorrow. It sucks and I don’t want her to go. She is really sad. She has almost 8 months in her first area and to be taken out through emergency changes is the worst. We will see what Heavenly Father has in store for her as well as Hna Gonzalez and me. I thought Hna Cordova would be here until changes again but nope! 

So I forgot my agenda and it’s basically my brain, so I don’t remember a lot right now. But we had an awesome lesson with a young family we are teaching. She was sick, so we asked a member to give her a blessing and she felt better and everything so we explained about the restoration.  She had a lot of questions for us because one time she was on the bus and a pastor came on and starting saying a bunch of lies about our church. Like we don’t believe in God and a whole bunch of stuff. So we answered all of her questions and gave her a Book of Mormon that she was so excited to learn about. But her husband isn’t making good decisions and they went through something so horrible and I hope all will be ok with them. They are so ready for this church. They aren’t part of any church which makes it so much better. 

Yesterday church was super spiritual but we didn’t have any investigators at church, which was so hard because we call them the day before and the next day drop by for them and there is always excuses.  Getting people to church is the hardest. But two brothers are leaving for their mission this week. Their older brother got home like 4 days ago and they leave tomorrow. They only have farewell testimonies…no talks…and they shared their testimony. The spirit was so strong. But am going to miss them…they are so great. Oh yeah, yesterday at 7:30am we went to a members house because she wanted me to curl her hair. This sister is great but crazy and when we got there she needed to shower still. I was so stressed out but everything worked and her curls looked really pretty. 

Oh, Happy Valentine’s Day. It was kind of a fun. We celebrated a little bit and wore red. I was craving red velvet cupcakes buuuuuuuut last p-day we went to Xela so Hna Gonzalez could print pictures. It took like two hours because the comps hated us. It was a huge joke. And while we were waiting for the pics to be printed we weighed ourselves. And I almost cried. I gained 15 pounds!  So this week I have been waking up at 6am and doing exercises.  No more treats for me. Figuring I’m almost half way through my mission and I’m not returning fat. That is not ok with me. 

Anyways…sorry this email is boring. Oh yeah, after the activity of the zone there is an elder in our zone from Hawaii and he is hilarious. We all took the bus together and he helped the assist on the bus by yelling SAN JUAN so people knew where the bus is going. It was hilarious. I have always wanted to do that but never was brave enough. So I applaud him for having the guts to do what I wanted to do. 

But yeah that’s about all. Have a wonderful week. Thanks for all your support. Miss you guys.
