This week was great. Every week is great. Being a missionary is great. I don't wanna go home. haha but i'm willing to talk to all ya'll this sunday:) Im so excited. you have no idea. And president said we can talk for as long as we want. We just have to use our own judgement. This week was kinda slow. We visited a lot of recent converts. Bringing them back;) oh yeahhh hahha Antonio received the holy ghost this sunday and the priesthood! He was so happy. We put his little grandson Julio on date for the 18th too and his daughter gloria, less active, came to church! This week has been hard with Santoyo but i love her to death. She just doesn't have a desire to do anything, and is super cranky hahah but we talk for about 2 hours everyday about it and work it out. Sometimes i feel like half the time here i'm counseling her but its totally fine. I actually pep talk myself hahha lessons have been hard for me personally. hahha Santoyo LOVES to talk. I really get lucky if i get to share my testimony. One lesson she taught the whole thing hahaha then after she was so embarrassed. I said good job santoyo!!!!!!!!!! its super funny. We are learning so much from one another. I feel like my spanish isn't getting any better cause i'm trying to help her overcome all her challenges with the mission, english and other stuff to but i know it will come:) Im happy to be here for her. She is my favorite person. She totally failed her two driving tests hahhaha she's so mad right now. haha i just laugh at her. Yesterday we had the most spiritual experience. We went and visited Sandra, one of our gators. She is on parole cause she hit her ex husband, any ways such a long ordeal with that. She loves the missionaries, they have been coming for years, she just doesn't do anything about it. She's been having more trials, and we just testified to her that we know that if she acts on her faith, she will be so blessed and see gods help in her life. Right after that she said "hermanas i cant come to church today, but i WILL be there next week. I know i need to change my life" Then she said that the other missionaries wanted her to watch this certain movie with christ but she never got to and has wanted to. (The Testaments) We told her that we actually ordered it and we didn't know why. And that we actually got it on saturday. CHILLS RUNNING DOWN OUR ARMS. She started bawling. Something as simple as that made her cry. We are going over tonight for FHE to watch it, i'm providing the popcorn:) Yesterday i had menudo(cow stomach) and fish. Yes please. man that was nice. Missions are great let me tell ya. I love it here. I cant wait for Sunday!! Love you all so much okay? okay:)
Also everyone here calls me guera or guera vende quesos cause thats all santoyo calls me. EVERYONE. We talked to a guy 1 time and then saw him yesterday and he said" GUERA!!! donde esta su queso??" I said that i sold it all. haha yep. Im guera (whitey)
