This week started out not the best, but thats okay cause it ended good:) Its been hard guys, missions are hard. Like you pray for heavenly father to help you with something, like patience, and oh he will test. you. I stopped praying for all those things haha Things are getting better. This week was definitely alot better than last week. Its HOT here. Our homeshare is 90 degrees, we cant even sleep cause its so hot. Last night me and bowen popped popcorn and watched mr. Kroogers Christmas hahaha We didnt fall asleep until 1. But our homeshare is going out of town for 2 weeks!!!!!!! PARTAYYY!;) haha jk we are really obedient. So we taught Francis and Beto the law of chastity and told them they need to live apart or get married... talk about the room quiet. They cant get married cause Beto still has to get a divorce and he doesnt want to pay child support. So please pray for them!! Oh Leonarda, she doesnt remember anything we teach haha its so sad cause all she wants to do in learn how to read and she thinks God isnt going to accept her cause she doesnt know how to read. Do any of you know how to teach a 92 yr old how to read?? We have been, for service, teaching the family english, and they help us out with our spanish. Its awesome. I absolutely love that family. Leonarda made it to church yesterday!! She probably couldnt hear anything but i know she felt something special:) The funniest thing yesterday was trying to get her back in the truck to go home. Three people tried lifting her up and she would just grip the door so it was impossible to get her in. So i had to like hold her hands so they could just like slide her in. She was laughing, the family was laughing, and we were laughing. It was the highlight of my day. Yesterday me and Bowen got really sick. But we are doing much better. Yesterday in Relief Society we had a lesson on the Priesthood. There is so much power in the priesthool. They spirit was so strong the whole time in that lesson. I am so grateful for those worthy priesthood holders. Yesterday we got to help out with a baptism haha i feel like we always help with baptisms not actually have them, but you know im totally okay with it. This baptism was crazy. The mom and her two girls were so ready to be baptized and then the dad who is in the navy got mad, and satan just has to ruin everything. But me and Bowen went in to the dressing room to talk to the girls and they agreed to be baptized. They said they felt so good after. It was so stressful and it wasnt even my baptism haha but God does work miracles. I love this quote but its in spanish and i dont feel like translating so use google translater: " Recordemos que todas las personas tienes sus temores, pero las que enfrentan con dignidad lo que temen, son las valientes. So basically Everyone has their fears, but those who face them with courage are the valient ones. I absolutely love that. I know we all can have the faith to do things that scare us, like talk to people about the gospel, but you will get so much help from out Heavenly father if you do. Another: You are not too young to learn, or to old to change. Remember that okay?? And Last of all: It doesnt ever get easier, it only gets better. That explains a misison perfectly. I give props to those who finish their missions. Its the most amazing hardest wonderful experience. You all are always in my prayers. LOVE YOU!! Think about me all the time at lake powell okay?;)
