On Monday we hung out with the zone and it was great :) I got kinda down and homesick, it it didn't last too long. We went to see a member, Hna Landaverde, and it was a great lesson :) I think it helped me more than it helped her. #inspiration It was awesome. We also had pink break! So neat! And it rained some more :) enough to even need my umbrella. Woooow ;)
Tuesday we had a picnic! It was a lot of fun :) and I decided I need to go to Alaska. Yep. It was really hot, but it's all good. We helped one of our investigators download Skype so we can talk to him while he's in Mexico visiting family. He's going to be baptized this Sunday hopefully! :)
Wednesday was also excessively hot. The elders got a parking ticket and then locked their stuff int eh church on accident, so we had to go save them. Pobrecitos ;) oh, we also were talking to this group of kids and this random dude came over and was being annoying, trying to convince them we were lying. Rude, right??
Then Thursday we had a great district meeting and got giant donuts after! :) and then I had my first door slammed in my face. We just laughed it off :) that kind of thing doesn't happen to much to us.
Friday was a blessed day--I got my iPad! So nice, so convenient ;) But getting that and setting it up took up most of the day. However, I did voluntarily eat avocado and I didn't die ;) I still don't love it, but at least I can eat it now. We also met this super cook kid, se llama Refugio, who committed to baptism!! :D This kid is so prepared, he really is. I'm so excited to continue teaching him!
Saturday we had lunch with a weird dude from my mission mom's old area. He's apparently in love with her so it was pretty awkward... We don't be having lunch with him again. But we had dinner with the Tzaraxes and that was infinitely better. I love their kids so much! Especially Amber, their daughter. She's adorable and I love playing with her when we go over.
So yeah. The work is good and I love seeing people truly understand what we teach :) even though Spanish is still a struggle, it's not so discouraging anymore. It's helping me rely on the Spirit and the Savior more. There's a Mormon message called "The Refiner's Fire" that I've watched a lot this week. I encourage you all to watch it! The Lord is definitely trying me right now to help me be better, so I know He won't let me get too overwhelmed :)
Love y'all!
