9/19: Pants and Dessert

Hey hey ! How´s it going up there in the states? Everything here´s goin good, nothin ou of the usual. We went to the temple on tuesday in the night and it was so great, it feels like we hadn´t been to the temple in forever, ahh I didn´t want to leave. But I can´t say the same thing about the 4 hour bus ride there and back. The day after we went to the temple we had a confernce with the all the sisters and got measured for the new pants they´ll be making for us, haha. woo woo SO carlos ponce didn´t get baptized saturday because he had to have this medical thing measure his heart (super specific I know) so he couldnt get wet for 2 days, but don´t worry, he´s gettingg baptized this friday! Also, Angel Garcia si all ready for his baptism on friday, but...a few days ago he said he asked his mom to sing the paper and she said he should wait a monh or two..so if you could all say a prayer for him that´d be great! Yesterday...we made cookies with the demera family! Chocolate chip. Next up, brownies! Almost no one makes dessert here so we have to help them with that. And who´s excited for general conference? THIS GIRL. I havent been able to put downn the liahona from May, so I already know this conference is going to be amazing. Some favorie conference talks (from your favorite missionary) include : If you love me keep my commandments by Elder Hales, The laborers in the vinyard by Elder Holland, and Forget me no by Elder Uchdorf. Also, here´s a scripture to get ya hinkin- Mosiah 2:22-24. Love you all so much and hope you have a wonderful week!!

CHAO CHAO CHAO CHAO CHAO!

9/12: ONE YEAR!

ONE YEAR ON THE MISSION! I can´t believe we hit the one year mark this week, how the heck?! It feels so weird to have been in a foreign country for a whole year, only 6 more months of rice!.To celebrate..we went out teaching!haha. This saturday in the night, Carlos Ponce , the husband of a recent convert Juana Forty, will be getting baptized! He is so funny and sometimes falls asleep in the middle of the lessons...but he just says the funniest things sometimes- Are you excited to go to church on sunday? Yeah, if I don´t wake up dead. hahaha, oh man carlos...And then we´re teaching 17 year old Angel Garcia who is also going to be baptized , on the 24th! We got permision to baptize him this week and its so funny because when we asked him what his parents would say about him getting baptized (because they have to give their consent) he said he had already talked to them about it. He´s super excited about his baptism and igoing to have hector vasquez (the father of the vasquez mera family) baptize him. 

    Today we went to a sketchy dentist office because Hermana Parker chipped her tooth, then we went to lunch at the house of the nunez family and ate ceviche, yum! But this week has been super good.Oh yeah, did I already tell you guys how there´s a new rule where we have to wear sunglasses if it´s sunny outside? #supergringa 

    Well, today in my personal study I came across a super great scripture in James 1:22, it´s really simple but good. And also I ´ve been reading the Liahona that has all the conference talks from the past conference, and there´s one by Elder Uchtdorf that´s called He will place you on his shoulders and carry you home, go take a look at it! 

   It´s been another great week, went by super fast as usual,haha. Hope everyone is getting back into the groove of things since school and everything has started again. Love you all so so much! CHAO CHAO CHAO!

Trying to get a picture before the bus came...
