Sister Macey Gates // Week Fifteen

This week has been the most interesting week of my life haha So monday night i was eating a flauta de carne kinda like a tequito and my botton retainer broke....YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDIN ME... Of course that would happen to me. I dont know why orthodontists love me so much. I dont get it.  So the next day i went and got it fixed and i got to talk to mother anne for a min:) Made my whole life!!!!! It was so good to hear your voice for a min mom:) And dont worry... the next day i ate a yogurt and it broke AGAIN! OH MY WORDY GOSHY WHAT IN THE WORLD!!! entonces i went and got it fixed again. So that was fun haha. We went and visited a fam, a part member fam and the mom asked her youngest son to say the prayer.. he is like 9 yrs old and it was his first time ever saying a prayer. She asked us to help him. It was the coolest thing and right after Lupita the mom asked if we could come do FHE with them.  So My comp got this package from her bro and it was a shower rock... hahhaha like what in the world??? You stick it in the shower and when you shave you can put your foot on it.  Its so weird haha we have picys of it, were pretty much models if thats what you were wondering;) One morning we woke up to go running and it was SO foggy outside like you couldnt see in front of us.  It made it even more worse cause i didnt have my contacts in haha but it was super cool.  I got the package mom sent me:) I  love the new clothes!!!!!!!!!!!! Awe i wore them already and i got alot of compliments on them mom good job! So we went on exchanges on Sat.  BEST THING OF MY LIFE!!!! Hma Luccion came with me and she is amazing.  Right when we got in the car she said she was so thankful i was driving cause hma nelson is the worst driver ever. She was like you are my hero for being able to stay with her this long haha i loved driving! and i knew where everyplace was so that was awesome.  We talked till 2 in the morning and a couple hours with the Goudys.  They said they didnt like hma nelson, its sad.  Hma Luccion was like how are you? like how is everything going with Nelson and and i was like its good. Shes like tell me everything now.  Man it felt so good to have someone who understood without me even having to say anything haha.  She told me that hma nelsons other companions went home cause they couldnt handle her. She said Hma ruiz was worried for me cause she trained her.  Its so sad. Like this week she straight up told me she had anger management problems... I didnt know what to say.  Its really sad, but im glad that i have survived haha:) She really is amazing when she wants to be.  I have been blessed with so much comfort her and i have learned alot of patience and love from her. I know i was put with her for a reason. Its been really really hard, but thats okay:) While hma nelson went to a baptism i got a member to be my companion and her name is Xochitl! It was the funnest thing! We had dinner at the Goudys and they loved her.  Then we went and shared a message to one of our investigators, just a door step one.  I shared the Poem
"Go to the edge"  "no"
"Go to the edge" "no i will fall!"
"Go to the edge" " I went to the edge and flew"
When we put our trust in the lord he will catch us. I shared the story of Jesus walking on water with her and how peter had to have so much trust in jesus that he would be able to walk on the water with him.  Peter got a little scared and started sinking, but IMMEDIATELY Jesus caught him. Gosh i love that so much. All we have to do is have faith in our savior and he will catch us.  I know this church is true with all my heart. Im so grateful to know that my family is forever. On exchanges, i put 3 people on date... that has never happened.  Just randon people we met.  We showed one of them Juan a picture of the temple and we said your family can live together forever and be sealed in this beautiful place... he said " I really can?:)" Oh it was amazing.  Im so grateful to be a missionary. Its so amazing. I love an miss you all so much!! Have the best week ever!!!!!
Oh yeah.... So you  know how everyone is like dont get bit by dogs on your mission;).......I got bit by a dog........ Jesus' dog.....He just came up and bit me. Its whatever hahaha this week has been awesome:)
