Being a missionary is awesome!!!!

me and elder fernandez the day of transfers!

Well wow there went another week! and it was sure awesome! i seriously love it here. i love my mission so much and it is going by so fast. in 2 weeks i finish 5 months and before i know it i will be at 6. i dont know if it as fast for you all as it is for me but santa vaca timeis flying!




so this week was much better than last week! we were both really healthy anmd we had the chance to really work hard! we met a lot of really cool people and we had a lot of chances to give service. we worked outside doing yard work 2 days this week. it was really nice to get out and do physical labor like that =)




So elder Fernandez is from chile but really far south. tjis week i got to try some of the food that he eats down there. it was so good! i liked it so much that i bought stuff to make it today =p its called ulpo (oolpoe in english) basically it is toated wheat (harina tostada) with powder milk, sugar, and hot water. it is like oatmeal and i eat it for breakfast every week =)




so i really like toys here. i play a lot with tops (trompos) and Volentines (kites) but this week i found another awesome toy that is by far my favorite. here it is called a diabolo but in english it is a chinese yoyo. i am obsessed with it. i play with it every night to calm myself down before bed. i am getting pretty good with it if i do say so myself ;) haha so yeah if anyone knows cool tricks you can do with a chinese yoyo please send like a foto guide about how to do it becaus ei am trying to learn new tricks with it!




we taught a lot of really awesoem people this week. orlando is by far my favorite person to teach right now. he is 82 and i felt a super strong connection with him as soon as we started teaching him. i think he is one of those people that i knew after this life. i know that before this life we all connected with people in heaven. i know that we can find these people herew on the earth. seriously it is the craziest feeling. its like i knew a ton about him when i had just met him. ive had so many wonderful experiences liek that here. the spirit is so strong here. it is amazing. i never want to lose the spirit of the lord ever because i know that he is a guide that is always here for us. he wants us to do our best and he will always help us do exactly that. this week i would like to invite you all too take the time and listen to the spirit a little more and follow its promptings with all of your heart. i know that if we do that our lives can and will be better than we ever imagined was possible =)




i hope you all have blessed weeks! remember that the lord is always her for you when you need him
