Macey Gates: Sister Macey Gates // Week Forty-One

Este semana era una lacura jaja Well last week we died everyone in our zones pee blue, i forgot to mention that. We got this chemical stuff from someone in our ward and put it in some browning, it was the funniest thing!! People thought they were gonna die. Then we had to have lunch with the elders in our ward, were not supposed to, but we didn't have an option, so we were eating carne asada, and i had just gotten done eating this big piece and our district leader told Hermana Arriaga that i was embarrassed to get more.... so that would mean i would have to eat more. It was so mad, he used to always do this to us. He was gaining up on all of us. Then i went and got the biggest piece, took a little off of it, and when Hermana Arriaga wasn't looking i slammed the rest right on his plate.... hahhaha he was SO mad haha we still cant stop laughing about it. Everyone loves playing pranks on each other haha.

So me and Bowen got bikes!!!!! We use our bikes in the morning and car in the afternoon. I am so out of shape haha but has been a complete blast!! Besides the fact that my bike is broken, and i'm the only one that has a backpack so i get to carry two times the stuff, its so awesome. We are seeing miracles.

This week i had the chance to go on exchanges with my trainer, Hermana Nelson. I was a little scared but it was probably one of my favorite days in my mission. She is like a completely different person. I haven't laughed as much as i did with her in a long time. And the best part of it, was when i got to see Santoyo!!!!!!!! So Santoyo's companion is going through a rough time so they weren't allowed to go out of the appt. We planned on going to lunch with them, so nelson just handed me the keys to the car and said you and Santoyo go get lunch. Thats totally like we would get in trouble for it if Bro king found out. BUT i got to talk with Santoyo and got to help her out a little bit:) She listens to me and does what i tell her to do hehe It was such a great day. I can say that Hermana Nelson is one of my best friends. She apologized for everything that happened and i did too. It was such a tender moment!!

This week me and Bowen haven't gotten any sleep. Our room is 90 degrees, but we are getting through it and are so grateful for our home share and all that they have done for us! We are moving home shares next week so i'm so excited!!! We have had lots of miracles in finding people who are ready, we found a girl named Haylin, and she is on date for the 24th. She is looking for her purpose, and wants to know the truth. We also found someone yesterday looking for someone else. She was sitting on the porch crying and we introduced ourselves and asked if we could say a little prayer with her. She said that the prayer touched her so much. She didn't accept baptism, and she didn't live there but she wants to listen more when she is in town. Even though we haven't had the hugest success that we have been praying for, i love the little opportunities that we have to plant little seeds and touch some hearts:)

The best part about this week was when Leonarda received the spirit:) The bishop presented her at the pulpit and she felt like she was queen haha She wanted me to walk her out to the car, but on her way she made sure to shake everyones hands and give everyone big hugs haha she has never done that before! As we were walking out too the car, she says "I feel so good!!! I don't have pain right now!" What a tender mercy:) She is the cutest little thing i ever did see:)

This week i truly learned who i am here for. Its so easy to get caught up trying to learn things to help yourself, but when we do things for other people, thats when we grow the most. I love this gospel with all my heart!!

Have a fabulous week!!!!!
