What a struggle of a week! Haha not really. It was pretty good, just with some interesting moments thrown in there.
For one, a member took us to eat Japanese food! So good! Mexican food is awesome but ya need a break every once in a while... Also Elder Gavaret of the Seventy came and spoke to us for our mission tour on Friday! It was super cool and he taught us lots of awesome stuff. Also I finally got roped into speaking for sacrament meeting :P bleh. I made it halfway through without having to, which was nice ;) I honestly don't remember 90% of what I spoke about since I didn't actually use the notes I prepared... Whoopsies!
Anyway, I just wanna share a 'sperience I had this week with y'all. So we got locked out of our house...again. Our zone leaders came to help but nothing we tried worked (including having another elder teach us how to pick locks over the phone, which now in hindsight was a pointless idea). Finally we realized there was a ladder on the roof of the parking garage-type thinger and we could probably use it to get through the second story window of our apartment and get in. We were literally gonna break into our own apartment. It was the only thing we could think of, so we went for it. We were about two seconds away from climbing up that thing when the manager guy with the spare keys got home. Maybe it was a coincidence. I dunno. But I learned a lot about what I'mma call the "Abraham and Isaac principle": sometimes you gotta act on faith and really be willing to go all the way (and then START TO) before the Lord sends the help ya need to make things go a lot smoother. Anyway, that was fun. We didn't end up breaking into our own place. And then we found the keys sitting on the couch where I guess I left them.... Whoops!Anyway, it was a good week and I learned I love the song "Give Said the Little Stream" in Spanish. It's fun ;) that's where my subject line comes from. It means "always give" but we just laugh every time because all we can think is "always dad"
