Hello!!!  
Okay so I am going to start by writing a little more about my last P-day (7-28-2016). 
Thursday:
We went to the Archealogical museum, and it was cool. We saw some mummies, and some Roman statues, and some coins. Its just nice to be out of the CCM (MTC). I got to wear my sunglasses for bout 4 minutes, definitley worth carrying them. One of the Siser who is going to portugal wrote all of the HNA's a letter and we were all crying. She told her teacher and then she translated it into english, and she just told us about how she really appeciated beig on a mission, and getting to know us, and that she kknows that e are all daughters of god, just really tender! 
Friday:
So today we taught our last lesson with mitchie, our fake investagator, and we just felt the spirit really strongly. She agreed to be baptized; big surprise there. Oh so in our classrooom we have this big yellow verb book, with like 501 verbs and there definitions, we all it the "BIG YELLOW ALL KNOWING VERB BOOK". IT is seriously a life saver. So i got to conjugate some verbs from that the today. Oh, so we watched this devotional from Elder Uchtdorf about this missionary from italy who was just this amazing missionary, and he gave us some pointers on how to be better. "BE BOLD", and "FEAR NO MAN", were some of my favorite quotes. 
Saturday:
So today was park day!!! MY favorite day of the week. It went swimmingly. MY companion for the park was the one and only Sister Salas, who is from spain, who speak english, but is serving a mission in Portugal. She is so cool, and a monster at basketball. Okay so the CCM is in a big building right next to the MAdrid Temple. We walk about 2 blocks to get to the metro station, and from there we ride 
the metro from pavones, to ibiza, and then its like a block from there to get to Retiro park. So sister salas and I we almost to the park, about 300 ft from the entrance and we started to talk to this guy, and ended up getting a refferal from him, of basically his contact information, and were able to give him a book of mormon. God answers our prayers!! 
We had a lot of success in the park, becuase Iwould just say hi, and talk to everyone, but when they started tlking the actual hard core spanish, I turned it over to the Spainard. So we ere able to get two more refferal and place three more BOM's  (Book of Mormons).
Sunday:
MY favorite day of the week. Chruch in the CCM is the best. SO we were sitting in our classrooms this morning studying, when Presdient packr came in and asked if he 

could talk to us. I thought we were in trouble. So we sat in his office, and he shook our hands, but i felt bad for him becuae my palms were so sweatly, but i guess he wiped it on his pants:) SO he asked us to be the STL's (Sister training leaders) for Zone 2. I was shocked in the least!!! But i figured my comapion would ge called to be one. Okay, so an STL is basically a zone leader, for girls. You are president's eyes and ears and arm and hands. He said the biggest thing is just being a perfect example. Might i stress, he said a PERFECT example. I mean its okay, just a little bit of pressure. Okay so we are getting 22 new missionaries on tuesday, and 14 are leaving, so thats all of the russians, and the protugese missionaries. Any who, all of the new misssioaries are going to be in our district. CRAZY.
Monday: 
So today was the first lesson with our two new investagators; yep, I said 2.. Stress city.  But they are both 
so sweet. The firs ones nae is Alejandro, and the second one is angelica... The worst names, i know. But our teachers who are acting in the role plays are using actual investagators that they had on their missions, so its kind of awesome. I noticed also that I am able to speak way more every day, so i guess the work does pay off, but its mostly the gift of tongues, no joke! SO we played soccer today, and its ws just money..Our team killed it, it was just a mess.
Tuesday: 
Okay so quick recap, 
-Russians left
-Portugese leftt
-We are STL's
-All of the new girls in our zone are native spainish, or russian speakers, so no ingles!
-Second lesson with alejndro, angelica, and it went okay, but angelica is super catholic and when we were saying the peing prayer she was looking the virgin mary picture she had with her... Creep city. 
-Kind of stressed out becuase were supposed to make sure all of these girls have a great experince, but its just hard to talk to them in only sign language:)
Wednesday: 
Okay so we finally got th chance to meet and talk to all of the girls in our zone today, What a blessing! They are all so sweet, but I'm about 83% sure that they could not understand anything we said to any of them. Oh and e finally got to meet President and sister Pack! MY MISSION PRESIDENT!!!    So cool, they had just flown bck from tenerife, and gran canaria, which are some of the island's in our mission. Cant wait to get to know them more, but we only got to talk for five minutes, but i will se the again in 2 & 1/2weeks. Ultimate frisbee today for sports, which was super fun.
Love you guys! thansk for all of the emails!!
