SICK week!!


okay this week was kinda crazy but i mean when in mexico.....what else ;)

first of all i came up with a pretty rad object lesson ON THE SPOT! ready for it?
okay so you get some M&Ms and give one or a couple to everyone and say look..we all have M&MS..just like we all have problems in this life. they are different and we have uneven amounts, but we still all have them. now put them in your mouth! the gospel of jesus christ is like your mouth because whatever problems you have, if you comeunto the gospel and solve your problems through this gospel and with the lords help, ALL problems can be dissolved ;) pretty stinkin proud of that one hahah i need to get some family investigators so i can teach children!! i also learned a SWEET trick that will entice the little niƱos as well! i can split an apple in half with one finger and my fist....took a few tries and some sore dedos to figure it out but now i can rock some childrens mundos!!!


okay so it was a literal SICK week because on thursday night i was up ALLL NIGHT with congestion, achy-ness, massive headache, sore throat, fever, you name it...i ended up just going into the front room and reading the BOM because i could sleep! blessing in disguise though  because i was reading in nephi about when he is asked to build a boat and felt like that would be a perfect thing to share with one of our investigators and then later when we taught the lesson he said he had been reading about nephi building a boat and wanted to know more so BOOM PERFECT! church is true.


anyway, so i found out that hermana kinkade was up all night with the same symptoms so we decided to take it easy and try and rest and what not...straight up love this girl. our cute companions took us to the doctor where we found out that YES we had a fever but NO we werent going to die and he gave us some pills...funny story about that...he was a latino doctor so there was a tiny language barrier so when he handed me the pills he said "chew now" i questioned "chew?" "yes chew"...the second i bite down on that rancid pill doc exclaims"OH NO! SWALLOW! I MEANT SWALLOW!" i was sugarcoating it earlier...language barriers were running rampant so i hope he diagnosed us right but regardless the drugs he gave us helped and i got a blessing too so im just dandy!


speaking of the blessing...elder sorensen and anderson gave us the blessings..anderson gave me the long one and it was his FIRST TIME! so cool because at first he was pressing down a little hard and his voice was shaky and nervous but then BOOM the spirit hit him and he just relaxed and gave the perfect blessing!


we had TRC this week were we taught a real live nonmember.she was a sweet grandma named GLoria! it was a powerful lesson! at one point while i was bearing my testimony GLoria and i both started crying and the spirit was unreal! the little sweetheart shared a tissue with me! we left her a book of mormon and she was already reading it when we left! I LOVE THIS WORK!


okay in relief society we were talking about "a priceless heritage of hope" by henry b eyring. it is crazy to think that soooo many peoples potential happiness rests in my hands! not only investigators, but my posterity! holy NO PRESSURE!! the decisions we make effect MILLIONS so be careful  yall...in the words of GOrdon B hinkley "never permit yourself to become a weak link in the chain of your generations"


also, great devo by holland...love that guy...it was about how we have been called on a mission FOREVER. it should never end! just because ill take the namtag off in seventeen months...doesnt mean my purpose changes.i should still be a rep of christ and do my best to bring others unto him!
we watched that jospeh smith movie? you know the super good one? gets me everytime...HUGE testimony builder because it shows how much opposition the church was faced with when it was first starting out...satan would not have worked as hard as he did to stop a LIE....so the church is TRUE. i PROMISE!


so much to say so little time! just know that i LOVE you all and REALLY appreciate all of the love and support! anytime i get discouraged (which isnt often, i promise) i just think of you all and how i dont want to let you all down! and that youre rooting for me!


ps holy frijoles this time next week i will be emailing from TEXAS!!!!! yall better buckle up because thats gon be excitin!
