Sister Macey Gates // Week Seven

Awe this week has been crazy!! So i got here and they did all the welcome stuff and then we got our companions! My companion is Hermana Nelson! She is the cutest thing and her spanish is so amazing.  The first morning we had to get up at 5 to go teach seminary haha it was so hard but fun! It took me a long time to catch up on my sleep.  Its been so hard learning spanish and i think i try to hard trying to understand everything but its been getting better each day!  We have 4 investigators right now, Jesus, Miguel, and a cute family Iisdra & Antonio.  Jesus is set to get baptized this sunday but we have to get all our teaching in with him and he has to come to church this sunday. We talk to him everyday and he is doing so good and loves it! We left a harvest blessing with iisdra and antonio and the spirit was so strong! We are teaching them again tonight and also jesus! Awe the work is so amazing!! And then yesterday when we were out harvesting miguel call us (we met him saturday and told him we wanted to come teach him) and he wanted us to come teach him yesterday! So we taught him the restauration.  The spirit was so strong and lets just say the gift of tongues is real. I had no idea what he was saying and my companion usually teaches the lesson in a simply way and i usually just back her up, but i was able to help her and words were just flying out hahah oh my hecky it was so cool. And then we knocked on this door and this cute girl shes is 7th grade let us is and we shared a message with her and we are teaching her and her family on tuesday!! It was such a miracle to have met these investigators these past two days cause ive been getting so frustrated no one wants to listen to us, but i realized the lord prepares certain people to hear our message at certain times.  The language is so hard, but my companion is awesome and corrects me and teaches me all the time and we usually just talk out our frustrations at night a  learn.  Its so amazing how the gospel brings so much light to people and how we get to help in that process.  I love and miss you all so much!! I love it here. Its so dang hard and my head is going to explode every single night, but its awesome.  It rained here the past two days! But the weather has been pretty nice! That is so crazy it snowed and im so jealous!!!! Tori i hope you get through school and i seriously cant wait to hear what you are having and you could always go with the name Macey...Its cute right??;) Hahah well i dont have that much time but i love you all so much!!!!
