Week 36

My heart is so full of joy and happiness! This week was deeeelightful:) We had a wonderful zone training meeting, luis galvez`s baptism, and stake conference!! Jose`s been accompanying us to lessons and he`s such an awesome new convert!! Has his own friends in the ward and has his interview to receive the priesthood tomorrow with the bishop. such a good kid! 

Our zone leaders gave a wonderful training on how each missionary and especially in each companionship, there are qualities that we each individually have and ones that can be developed, by learning from the other companion or missionaries. and how we can teach more like the Savior. Just think of the Quorum of the 12, each have their own individual profession and career, but all of them have the gospel in common and can together perform miracles, under the direction of the Savior and as He can use them as instruments in His hands.

 

Luis`s baptism went really well!!! About 26 people and his cousin made delicious tamales to share with everyone. His aunt and 2 cousins are members and used to be inactive, but have started to come to church again as we`ve been teaching him. He`s a wonderful example to many!! He was confirmed right after his baptism, since this weekend we had stake conference and when he shared his testimony after, he said as though he felt like a baby...haha man I love Luis!! 

 

Stake conference was so wonderful, an area of the seventy came and talked with us about temples and family history work, and a huge emphasis on faith. I loved it!! and Luis showed up for the first time in a TIE!! ahh my companion and I were both beaming with joy:) 

This week I hit my 8 month mission birthday and JUSTO the bottom part of one of the pairs of my shoes dis-attached itself randomly one afternoon. my companion was dying laughing at the noise it was making, like a flip-flop, until some 50 centimos super glue did the trick. haha it was a hilarious surprise

 

Thanks for the PB cups, mom!! My companion tried one for the 1st time ever and loved èm! You da best! 

 

Some bad news, hna.downs got sent home yesterday afternoon. long story and we`re headed out of this internet cafe, but basically her muscles need to be woven/knit back together. the hope is that she can get surgery and return in a few months, but not sure...please pray for her tons and if you`d like her address to send a note of encouragement, just holler and I`ll email it.

love you all TONS and hope you have a beautiful week!! I`ve never been so exhausted, yet so incredibly happy!!!!!!
