I will NEVER have STUFF

hey yall!

so the crazy flood service continued in full force this week....i got pulled out of MLC by president who assigned me to serve at a house of a lady who is a HOARDER!!!! like im talking receipts from the 60s...food from the 80s....knee pads for a belly dancing class...underwater spear guns..400+ pairs of reading glasses...1000X1000 cardboard boxes and ever more plastic bags....and it is ALL covered in rat poop, nasty flood water..and black mold. WOO HOOO!!!!! and its hard because throwing away a moldy rat poop covered nail is like pulling teeth out here.."it can be bleached and re-used!" ok yeah sure...or you could buy a new one if you REALLY need it...

i guess thats what i get for praying to develop more patience and charity...Heavenly Father sure has a sense of humor!! because if i didnt actually love this lady i would walk away. we've only been at it three days and we are all going CRAZY! but we love her so we keep showing up. also i think Heavenly Father is teaching me a great life lesson...i will NEVER have stuff. like i want to get rid of all unnecessary stuff and never accumulate it!!! "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" as they say..right? RIGHT. fun perk is the hermanas that are working with us on the house got to sleep over at our house..TWICE!! it wasnt that fun because we were so painfully exhausted...but its the thought that counts right??

aside from that, ALVARO CAME TO CHURCH AND LOVED IT!!! he is awesome. bought a white shirt and tie and everything :) he is reading in the Book of Mormon and decided to stop drinking coffee and tea!! we feel super blessed! he is praying about being baptized this weekend...if yall could join in on the prayers i wouldnt even be mad! 

the church is true guys...even if it means ankle deep in rat poop/neck deep in junk for the sake of one soul
