This week was a MIRACLE. So we had to drop almost all of our investigators because they werent progressing. That is always the hardest thing to do! So we went tracting haha and just walking down streets. Its super hot here so that wasnt very fun but we were able to get a few people who wanted us to come back! Edgar got an interview with prez and he has to wait 3 months to be baptized cause he is on probation. He was kinda sad, but we helped him to realize that this is such a good time for him to learn and grow to become so prepared for when he can be completely clean and not have temptations. He has such a good attitude now, he is doing really good. He is down to only like 3 cigarettes a day, some days none, and his mom loves us haha she feeds us almost every single day. She told us last night there has been a major difference in Edgar. She said he has been giving her hugs and telling her he loves her and is thankful for her. That is the sweetest thing. Im so grateful to be able to help him out and to help him really know he is a son of God who loves him so much! Someone gave us $20 to go out for dinner, so there is 4 of us sisters right? so we go to this sandwich place and we just knew we were going over and we really dont have that much left on our cards. We go to check out and the guy somehow figured out a plan to make our food cheaper, without us even saying anything and we had exactly enough. I thought that was one of the coolest miracles, even tho its something so little. So we visited the Ramirez fam and we are so funny with them haha me and Santoyo, we kill each other hahhaa but anywho Azucena told me that if she was a boy she would be my boyfriend hahhahha i thought that was super funny coming from her. She is SO weird. So im having quite the time out here, only one proposal this week hahaha freakin mexicans! thats what santoyo says haha One night we helped on of our investigators for 2 hours fix enchiladas for a service they were doing. They have had missionaries coming over for 10 years, they jsut dont have the desire to do anything. We had a 5.3 earthquake this week, FREAKIN SCARY!!!!!!!!!!! I was sitting in my seat planning one night and i just start shaking and the whole house jsut starts shaking.... Santoyo just laughed at me cause ive never felt an earthquake but were fine:) no big deal. I just almost shook to death. The womens conference was really good! Its really a treat going to those things. So yesterday i saved a dog. It was drowning. We were going to visit a Less active and i saw a dog in the swimming pool gasping for air. There is this huge fence tho and it was locked... I couldnt just leave the poor thing to suffer and drown! So i hopped this 7 ft fence in my skirt, i advertized my garments well, and pulled the dog out of the water. So basically we are saving dogs not people. Thats really what you do on missions. So we got STANDARD this week!!!!!!!!!!! Can i just say MIRACLES!!!!!!!!!!! We had 5 people at church, 28 lessons, and we got our 4 member presents yesterday to make our 7, dont ask me how. Actually its God thats how. I feel so blessed its amazing. I love seeing miracles and being apart of this great work!! I hope you all have a great week:) Love you:)
