This week has been CRAZY!!!! So many exciting things have
happened and I am so excited to share them with you guys! I just wanted to
testify really fast of the power of the Atonement, I have seen it work through
me and also through my investigators every single day!
Let me just go through what happened this week, Monday we
went as a zone and we went bowling which was so fun! There was no one in the
bowling alley except one random old guy and then all of a sudden 20
missionaries come in, it was pretty funny. I didn't do that bad too. I got
second place!
This week we did a ton of service and one of them was at
this animal park where we raked up dry dead grass and if any of you know me you
know that was.... well not a good thing because I just happen to be allergic to
the outside. So I stood at the top of the hill and supervised, more like I
stood at the top trying to breath and see through my swollen eyes, good times.
Wednesday was an awesome day! Brenda our investigator GOT
MARRIED!!!!! We are so happy for her and she is so excited to get baptized this
Saturday. She is married to a less active member who has now been starting
to come to church with her and their cute little girl Mary Jane. This is a huge
step for Brenda and her family and we are very blessed to be a part of helping
her change her life. SO BLESSED!
Friday we did some more service for a lady who has a farm. Some
of the zone came and we washed her horses and played with goats. It was fun and
don't worry I loaded up on my allergy medication so I survived.
It was just a week full of animals because yesterday we were
knocking doors and this guy opened his door and said, “Do you want to see a wolf?”
ummmm I was pretty skeptical when this random guy started to close his gate and
go get his pet wolf. I was convinced this was how my life was going to end, being
attacked by a wolf in this random sketchy town called Val Verde in the middle
of the mountains with no service. (Don't worry mom it is totally safe) so I pet
a wolf and also got pictures.
This week has been filled with some fun little adventures
and some awesome spiritual experiences. I love the life of a missionary! Shout
out to PARKER my little brother for turning 16 this week and being ordained as
a Priest! I love you bud and I am so proud of you!
Also it was Stanford Day this week so I naturally I had to
make a German Chocolate cake to celebrate Stanford Day and Parker's birthday. The
Elders were very happy about that!
Anyways I hope you all have an amazing fantastic week and
here are some pictures to make up for not having any last week! Le
Quiero!

Note from Mom: Stanford Day is a made up Holiday by our adopted neighborhood children that has been celebrated for the past 5 years. It is on Stanford's half birthday (November 9th) each year and it is celebrated by dressing like Stanford, doing your hair like Stanford, watching Stanford's favorite shows and eating Stanford's favorite cake. The days events end with smashing a pinata in Lynette's house filled with surprise items from cooked hotdogs to glitter in years past.
