Come to the edge and He will help you fly!

Que Pasa Familia?!

Once again, still no visas. I think I'll just forget that I got a call to Spain haha, jk jk. We have all been a little down since yesterday. Our entire District all got their travel plans and are headin out to Texas and N.Carolina and the Hermanas have heard nothing. We were so upset and took our pitch forks, rounded up the other Malaga boys from another District who received nothing and we marched to the travel office! After lighting the place on fire, we finally had a civilized chat and the lady snarkily said that we would get our reassignments next Friday or something. Soooo there ya go! If you want to start guessing where my second mission will be, knock yourself out haha. We are all just praying that we will NOT be stuck in the Referral Center at the MTC! Please no!! We have no idea what they'll do with us. I would personally love to go to Salt Lake...we'll see!!

Hope you all had an EPIC HALLOWEEN!!! The MTC threw a crazy dance party and we got to dance with the Elders. Only on Halloween though. Then, we got to dress up! I chose to be Catwoman. It was a sick costume. We then got to go trick-or-treat and hit up some Provo dance parties!! Best Halloween ever!!

Or this happened...we ate ourselves sick in everyone's candy that they received and taught lessons and felt the Spirit and read scriptures. IT WAS AWESOME! So be jealous, you didn't get to feel the Spirit so strongly that night. And I'm pretty sure I had more candy that everyone out there combined!! We had like 40 Elders share their candy with us :) BOOM!

I also still love Hna. Stark like crazy. She really enjoys scaring me at least 4 times a week. Most of you know that I am the EASIEST person to scare. So, on Halloween night she hid in my closet and sure enough, I managed to make a blood curdling scream as I saw her there creepily hiding behind my clothes. Thank you companera ;) She is the funniest person I know.

Our District all took turns this week teaching Pedro (our teaher Hno. Doxey) in the observation room. This means that our entire District got to sit in the tiny observation booth hidden behind a mirror glass thingy, like a criminal FBI room. It's pretty sweet. We all took turns teaching our normal lessons but this time 8 other people were observing us behind the mirror wall and it was TERRIFYING. Of course, Hna. Stark and I were chosen to go first. We freaking OWNED that lesson. It was the greatest lesson we have ever done. We just taught him about fast sundays and what things he could fast for. The Spirit was just felt to strongly and our Spanish was just lighting up the place. Yeah. We're pretty good. After our 20 minute lesson, Hno. Doxey had us all come together and talk for like 15 mins about how epic our lesson was. He just said it was an amazing lesson and we owned it. The rest of the District went for the next 2 ish hrs and Hno. Doxey never said anything about any of the other lessons like he did with us :) It was really nice.

K one more bragging thing haha, sorry this makes me feel so good! I just need to talk about so I feel better about my major inadequacy with teaching and Spanish. So during class we were asking random questions about the language grammar. I asked a question about the subjunctive stuff which is SUPER HARD! All you fluent Spanish speakers are probably laughing at me but whatevs. So I asked Hno. Doxey a question about subjunctive because I didn't understand any of it. All he said back to me was this, "Hna Daly...you are the best one in the class and probably the best missionary I've had with understanding subjunctive. You use it ALL the time in your lessons and I hear you say it in conversation with the other missionaries." ummmmm wow. Best compliment ever and then my District continued to chime in with Hno. Doxey saying that they hate me because they are jealous of my Spanish haha. But, let me just say this, I am DEFINITELY NOT GOOD at Spanish!! Either he felt super bad for me because I'm the worst at Spanish...unlikely ;)....or it is 50% true. Who knows haha

Ok ready for some spiritual stuff?!! YES!! K we watch millions of Elder Holland talks that he has given at the MTC in the past 100 years, so there are A LOT! They are all so so so great!! We watched one that was pretty much exactly like his General Conference talk about Peter and the quote, "Do you love me, then feed my sheep." and it was so awesome. My favorite part of it was when he got all choked up and said something like this, "Dont you ever turn your back on the Gospel. You will break my heart. You will break the Lord's heart. You will break God's heart."

Another quote from him you may have heard. This is when he is referring to the Lord speaking to His children (us) and telling us to come to the edge of the cliff.

"Come to the edge," He said "No, we'll fall."

"Come to the edge." ...."No. We'll fall"

"COME TO THE EDGE!" ....We went to the edge. He pushed us. And we flew.

I absolutely LOVE that story because we have to go to the edge even though it's scary. We have to do all that we can as missionaries and reach our potential. All of us have divine potential and it is our job to make sure we push ourselves enough to reach that potential. I definitely feel like I am afraid of the edge at time and won't go places that I am not familiar with. I strive to keep pushing myself more and more. I find that the more I push myself, the more I improve and become better because I have the Lord helping me to fly.

So your challenge this week, Push yourself. Come to the edge and He will help you fly. We have so much work to do with this world. Get on it :)

I love you all!! I am very aware of all the prayers and I am so grateful for them. Thank you for loving and supporting me and writing me and sending packages. I couldn't do any of this without my support team :) Thank you!!!

Love,

Hermana Daly :)
