TRANSFER!! - November 25, 2013

TRANSFERSSSS! I am heading out this Wednesday to ELCHE!! Im super excited yet really sad because I love Puerto! I get to travel for a wicked fun 14 hour trip to get to Elche. It is so freaking far away. I really hope there is a huge Thanksgiving party though....because I am missing out on the HUGEST party ever in Rota with all of the Americans. Im a little bummed. Hna hoffman is going to have two new comps and they are all so fun. Im super super super jealous lol but im sure there are tons of American famillies in Elche.....noooot. Im sure we'll be eatin some delicious bread with butter on it for thanksgiving. Not that Im complaining. I love me some Spain bread and butter. Only the best ;)

This week was pretty good. We worked our little buns off and got some good progress with our investigators....even though none of them came to church. LAAAAAAAME. But thats alright, im sure they'll all get baptized this next transfer. It was just a sad week full of goodbyes. The saddest one was with my little Loli!!!! She is soooooooo adorable. She's suuuuper sad to see me go. I gave her so many gifts it's ridiculous lol it's a good thing I love her so much. 

We had some crazy things happen this week that were soooo funny but I cant remember them! One of them was some creepy hobo on a bus that like yelled at us in a creepy smoker voice and then he hawked some gross loogies on the window right in front of us (how do you even spell that??) Anyways, it was super gross and hilarious. 

Hna Hoffman and I bought some super cute rain boots!!!! They are wicked nice and so cheap! Not that you guys care.....sorry im just rambling. Not much else to say because Im leaving this area....Next week will be a great email! 

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Travel safely please!!!! Love you guys so much. Im grateful for the greatest family ever! The church is still true :) I love this Gospel!

Transfer coming this week.....yay!!! - November 18, 2013

Holaaaaaaa

I am so sore at the moment. We did like 4 miles of running and a hard yoga class for pday today. Well....it was just the basics of yoga haha it was so hard! That was my first official yoga class and I wanted to die. Im not sure why we chose to work out like crazy on pday haha but it was a good time! 

So, this week was just so lame. I am sick of our investigators being super lame and cancelling on us constantly. But, we did have some cool things happening. We had a cool first lesson with this lady, Milagros, who we thought was a total crazy lady and it turns out that she's like one of our golden investigators haha weird how that worked out. 

I also gave a talk at church yesterday. I think thats my third one in the mission. It actually went really well and I tried really hard to get the members excited and get their faith up about the work. I hope they listened cuz we are struggling, both the elder and us because we just get investigators only by contacting. Usually the work here in our mission runs by references from the members so it's been a little hard with this branch. It'll get better though. The people here are super great! 

Well transfer calls are this week on mom's bday :) I for sure know im leaving because some leaders leaked the info for me haha but I dont know where yet. We'll find out next week! 

I hope you guys are staying warm. It's been butt cold here. Like 40s with wind I think. I couldve sworn it was 30s but I wouldnt know without my galaxy phone! It's always a fun guessing game every morning of how cold it's gonna be that day. Love you guys so much. Only one more month ish till our skype sesh! YAY!

Investigators being stubborn!! - November 11, 2013

Heyyyyyyyyy

It is getting really really cold here. Probably not any where near as cold as utah or idaho...but still. The wind chill is horrible! I guess I'm just used to really hot Spain weather. I'm definitely not ready to head back to snowy Idaho....

Well today we are going to be playing around San Fernando. It's really nice to be out of our area for a bit. We also had a zone conference in Cadiz and it was really fun! I loooove traveling :)

This past week was kinda lame because our investigators are annoying sometimes and don't come to church....

We had a lot of sad stories this week but that's ok because it'll make us work even harder this week :) just one of our investigators says that she doesn't want to receive the lessons anymore because she thinks about us all the time and about joseph smith and it scares her. GRRR!! We were like, DUDE that's the holy ghost telling you that this is true!! She was being really stubborn and said that we are stressing her out and she needs a break. It's so sad because she looooves the Book of Mormon and she believes everything we teach her but it just scares her because she is faithful to the catholic church. Get this, she even said that she believes our church way more than her own. We don't understand this lady, but one day she'll get baptize. I just know it!

Sorry, not much else to report. This week was really weird. Our landlady is FINALLY coming today to fix our stove that has been broken for ONE MONTH! We have been eating bread and cream cheese and bell peppers every single day because we can't cook anything. I don't know how we didn't gain weight like crazy.

The church is still true :) two more weeks until I find out if I'm going to serve in another area! YAY! love you guys!

Another baptism date set!!! - November 4 2013

Holaaaaaaaaaaa!!

I hope you all had a great Halloween!! Halloween here was way lame and I cant wait to celebrate it the right way next year! People barely dress up. Just the kids get dressed up and then everyone else goes to party and pass out in the streets. BUT GUESS WHAT! We saw that they were having a huge concert in our area like every night for a week and guess who plays....American bands!!! According to the teenagers in our branch, Oasis was there, Nickelback, Simple plan....and some others that I've never heard of. So thats cool....too bad we didnt hear them. If it was the Biebs or One direction I would have flipped out haha but alas, it was just lame bands.

This week was gooooooooooood ish. We found 6 more investigators! So thats cool. We have been working our butts off to find these people but they are super lazy and dont want to change. So we are still on the hunt for those who are actually prepared!!

MIRACLE! We have a new 14yr old american investigator from the Navy Branch and set the fecha for the 23rd!! So we are going to pray really really hard that he gets baptized then :) He's awesome and really prepared :)

Fast and testimony was really really powerful yesterday both in the spanish and english branch, but of course I got a lot more out of the english branch. They talked a lot about how God always has a different plan for us. Our cute senior couple serves here with the navy branch and they gave their testimony. They were saying how they thought going on a mission would bless their family so much but they have seen some of the hardest trials in their family during their mission here. They know that the blessings are there and some may not come till later. It really comfoted me as well because I had way different expectations of what I would see on the mission and it's been hard to face reality but I realize that Heavenly Father had a very different plan for me. Im just so grateful for my mission and the things I have learned!!!!!! It's so awesome!!!!!!

I hope you all had some awesome experiences as well during testimony meeting :) Love you all so much. Have the greatest week ever! Until next week.

love
