OYE mi familia bonita!!
How is everyone?? I miss you all so much! This week has been super miracle-y and awesome yet super not miracle-y and super not awesome haha. Let's start off when the miracle story...
Me and Sanchy were going to knock on the door of this lady that we talked to the other day and we could tell that she was sooooo not interested haha but we didn't care, we went to knock again anyways. We knock on the door and this little girl opens it and tells us that her mom (the lady) wasn't there. So we decided to just move on and knock the door next to her because we though that we knew the people that lived in the one next to the lady's. Alas, no one opened the door but we saw the lady quietly walk by us to get into her house hahaha. We laughed silently and then Hna Sanchez asked me, "should we knock the lady's door again now that she is home? ....or is it awkward now?" I just laughed and though for a second and said, "why not, lets do it! I don't care if she hates us." So we knock again...guess what....this awesome young 18 year old guy-Javier answers. He was like, "hey! my mom told me not to open the door but I opened it anyways cuz I wanted to see why." haha we ended up teaching the first lesson about the Restauration and gave him a book of mormon and he was just SUPER COOL! He sounded way interested and wanted to know more. (this is all in english btw). YAYYY MIRACLE! we continue to teach him...in english...we may have to transfer him to the english elders...daaaang it!!! We give away all of our golden people to the Elders.
We found SEVEN NEW INVESTIGATORS this week! SEVEN! yeah, that does not happen. Sadly enough, like 4 of them are English so we gave them away to the Elders....grrrrrr!! But, the other 3 are people cool. It all came because Sanchy and I talked to EVERY PERSON in our path has we rode our bikes. mostly Sanchy lead the way. She is so cool. Hardest working missionary ever and we still have so much together. It's a good balance :)
On Sunday (yesterday) we had a fireside for the Branch and all of us 4 sisters spoke at it! It was super fun! We talked about the family mission plan and we tried to get the members excited. My segment was pretty bomb. I said something like this, "HERMANOS Y HERMANAS! are you excited for fam mission plan?! YEAH! Ok here is an example of what could happen from doing this. You invite your friend to the VC and they gladly accept. They go with you and they end up LOVING IT and they are crying because they feel the spirit and they want to be baptized immediately and it's like the best day of their life!! YES! Then us cute missionaries meet up with your family and you tell us of your experience and we get your friend baptized! YAYYY!"
Yup, that's pretty much how it was...in Spanish...That's how it went in my head anyways...who knows if they were laughing at my story of me speaking spanish...who knows haha. That was way fun
The down side to the week: We had zero investigators at church AND I HAD TO EAT LOBSTER...HISPANIC LOBSTER! it was the grossest thing I have ever eaten in my entire life...yeah I know, I'm a sheltered child. It was this big nasty lobster soup WITH THE ACTUAL LOBSTER CRAP CHOPPER...thingy in the soup, just sticking out and wanting to pinch my face. I wanted to die. I absolutely hate fish and anything to do with the sea. I had to force it down while shoving chips down right after so I wouldn't have to taste it. I mostly swallowed it whole because I hate the texture. ohhhh mannnnnn so bad! It was pretty funny after though.
So it was an interesting week :) Sanchy and Daly continue to try to baptize everyone in the Mesa Grande area...GO SPAIN! us spaniards are pretty dang cool.
I LOVE YOU ALL!! Briana and Cheri, I LOVED THE LETTER!!! I was crying I loved it so much. THANK YOU! I will write you two soon :) love you all, have a great weeek!!!!
love,
hermanita Daly
