TRANSFER 4 WEEK 4- LEON:

Hello everyone!

How has your week been? Good? Mine too..

Get it? It's like were talking, on the phone...

Okay.

Well this was probably my last full week in Leon..  It's a little sad but I'm excited to experience something new at the same time, because what makes a place special is not the place itself but the people who live there. So because of how much I love the people I want to stay but, that's not how it works. Anyhow so I want some guesses from you guys about where I will go!!!   So the options are: The Canary Islands, Madrid (inner-city), Madrid (The burb's), or The Other part of the north.   

I will anxiously tally the ballots and when I get transferred I will tell you who received revelation, and who was just guessing.

Anyhow, also this week we had the World Wide Missionary Conference, which was awesome. So in that conference they made some changes to the missionary daily schedule. So normally our schedule for here is:

7am Wake up

7:30am Workout

8:30am Personal study

9:30am Comp study

10:30am Leave and proselyte

2:00-4:00 pm We have medio dia which is when we eat, and study the language, each for an hour.

4:00-9:30 pm We proselyte, and they come home

So this has been the basic schedule for many years, and the thing is, you must follow the schedule exactly, in this order everyday. That is what they changed. So basically now we still have to wake up at the same time and return at the same time, but now we can change the schedule to whatever we want, and whatever will work for our area. We basically have complete freedom over when we do these things, and also for how long. It's crazy..  Also they cut out a bunch of stuff on P-days so now, Our P-day is from

8:30am-6:30pm instead of 11:00-6:30pm like before.

Way more time, and we don't have to study the language, workout, or do comp study.. Blessings.

MARTES:

Okay so we just did a ton of pass-by's and found a few people at home. Then we taught Los Rivera, a family of members which is always fun. Then we did more pass-bys, and then a bunch of calls. So As we were making calls, Lucy came by and hung out with us, and she helped keep us busy. Also I made no-bake cookies.

MIERCOLES:

So I was sick as a dog the whole morning, with the flu or something, but it was terrible. So we stayed inside until medio-Dia, then we left and did some passbys and then watched the missionary training thing. Then, more pass-bys and then bed.

JUEVES:

We did weekly planning, for the last week of the transfer. Always crazy. Then walked around and contacted until our lesson with fanny who is a member. She is from the Dominican republic, so she made us some killer moris sonando which is like this drink with orange juice and milk mixed together. I don't now, but its awesome. So then we talked with her, and by the time we left we were late form our other lesson, so we ran and took the bus, and only showed up 15 minutes late. Not too bad. So our lesson was with Maribel, and her family. It was awesome, because w brought Lucy, and she is a machine. So we taught them about the Sabbath day. The spirit was really Strong. Their family is just really great. They will be baptized soon. Not sure when that is but, soon.

VIERNES:

So we went and visited Hortensia, and she showed us a bunch of pictures of her mission, and her wedding, and when her kids were little. Way guay (cool). Then MEdio-Dia. Okay so I'm not sure if I told you guys about this lady who called us the other day. Her name is Maria Isabel, and she is really catholic. She teaches classes to the girls who are going to do the confirmation, and the first communion into the catholic church. So, you can imagine my surprise when she called us and told us all of this and then asked us if we could come and speak to all of these girls about why were here, and what we do, and basically share our testimonies. So we were like, "Hombre, Claro" which is basically like "Obviously". So we went and met her, and then all of the girls. It was a really cool experience.  Then after that we ran to the capilla because i had to pee really bad, and then tught our memebr named Rebbecca, who actually is the first sister missionary from Ecuador. So when i found that out, I took a picure with her. Then after that we invite Maribel and her family, and Los Cachuguay to come and make empanadas. So after we did that we had a Noche de Rama (family home evening) with the branch, and there were a ton of people. Like 30 people came, and the Relief society taught the lesson, and then we ate empanadas, and played signs, and then talked for a little while. It was a crazy success! 

SABADO:

So One of the families in our rama moved on saturday so we went and helped them. Us, the Elder's, and pedro and his son. So they live in the same pueblo as president Martinez (the bishop) and his family. So Luis and adriana are there names, and they moved into a little house in San andres which is way closer. Actually we walk by the house that they moved into all the time, so it works out really well, because now we cn visit them. Then after the move we did a bunch of passbys but no one was home. 

DOMINGO:

We had the rama conference (ward conference) with all of the leaders from the district. It was really interesting, the topics that the picked and stuff. Also one of our less active mebers just showed up, and stayed the wole time, which was way fun. Then after that we did some more passbys, and then went over and helped out maria- Dolores clean, and fold sheets. She is so funny. She had to iron the sheets, and then fold then. Sheets..  Then we had Los Rivera, which as always was a blast. I ate way too much. 

LUNES:

So today is my last p-day here. So I packed one of my suitcases, so that way I don't have to stay up super late on Sunday. Then we went and looked at a bunch of store. I bought a skirt for 6 bucks because of rebajas. Yep and then we ate PANS which is like subway but way better. Yep and now were writing.

Transfer 3 Week 4 Leon


Hello family,

Because were all gods children, and were all part of one family:)

So this week was money. We had monday but we left for Acoruna on tuesday, and got back on Thursday. I'm still not sure which one it is. Coruna I mean. So I will tell you where it is. So Spain is about the size of Texas🏳(Ma o meno)(That' s how dominican's say mas o menos). So lets say that I am in Austin. So La coruna is about where abilene is. A little far. So we took a train from Leon to Lugo, and then a bus from Lugo to La Acoruna. The train ride was about 4 and 1/2 hours. We Played uno with the elders the whole way there. Then the whole way back we played scum, which is just a card game where you move chairs. It was awesome becuase the train is set up kind of like and airplane with rows like that so to play scum you have to move chairs if you win or lose, so We would get up every 5-10 minutes to "stretch" and change chairs.

MARTES:

So we passed by Maria-Dolores on our wy to the train station, and visisted her for a minute, and then we passed by sandras store, and she is doing good as well, Then we boarded the train. It was fun. If anyone was wondering, we lost 8-10.. Cutrisimo (Super lame).Then we llegared (arrived) to lugo. Oh i forgot to tell you. We saw an amazing Miracle. So we had to trans-board, which just means half-way thru the trip we had to switch trains. So we were half way there, and were worried about missing our other train because our first train left like almost 1 hour late. So we got off the train, to trns-board, and as we stepped off our first train, our second train left. So the trains go really fast here, and so it was like way far away but the Lady working there called the conductor, and told him to come back and get us. So this giant train full of people backed-up just to pick us up. It was way cool. So we stayed the night in Lugo, with the hermanas there, and took a bus the next moring at 6:30a.m. to La coruna.

MIERCOLES:

So we had Zone conference with both zones, so with every missionary in the north of spain, except a tiny piece of galicia that belongs to the Barcelona mission. It was cool. The santiago, and Leon zones togehter. Oh man, and La A Coruna has a giant, brand new Capilla (chapel) Which was pretty cool. So in ZC we talked a lot About faith, and obedience, and how with out these two thing we are like jenga when you take out a crucial piece. You fall down (Spoiler alert) (ugh, I'm so sorry that I said that; I hate people who say Spoiler alert, but it seemed apropriate.) Oh and i got some super cute letters "THanks a mountain." Oh, i got my Mission debit card, so now my sweet sweet companion doesn't have to buy all the food for both of us. So the hermanas from lugo had t stay in Coruna for two days after the conference so they gave us the keys to there piso, and wished us luck. So we took the bus, and wondered around lugo looking for their street for like an hour and a half but then we found it. It took a lot of prayers and a lot of a life saving app called Mapsme. So as we were wondering around, lost, we found this super sweet lady named Rocio, which was cool. So we were able to leave  refrence for the hermanas de Lugo.

JUEVES:

So back on the train. We bought empanada for the ride, and my Comp is obsessed with Dorito's, so we had those as well. They are TEX-MEX flavored. They don't taste very texan but I won't complain. So then we played skum and won 10-9... Victory tastes so muh better than Dorito's. Then we got back to Leon, and contacted  mountain of people, but didn't find anyone. That's okay though. So then We had choclate and churros to clebrate being back home, which we super tasty. And we had a really great lesson with Lesly, who is th one who live half the month here, and hal the month in Norway. It is going really well with her, and she alwyas gives us Cookies, and Coca cola when we go over!

VIERNES:

Well we planned, then we had correlacion with pedro and finalized the plans for the christmas party. Then we had medio-dia, and ate seriously like a box of KIWIS. So kiwi's are y favorite fruit right now, and they are really cheap here, so every monday  buy a box of kiwi's, like 25 or 30, and eat them throughout the week. So instead of real food, we ate the whole box of kiwi's. It was awesome, but now I have a giant canker sore on my tongue. Pero bueno. Then we passed by Rosavla. She is a memeber who is going through some hard times right now, so we are trying to meet with her. We passed by her house but she wasn't home, but then we ran into her in the street and talked for like 20 minutes which as awesome. Then we had Noche de Rama, and Angel, our elders qurom presdient gave us all some turron, which i like this superhrd candy with a bunch of almond in it. It's super good but really hard to chew.

SABADO:

So today we made christmas invitation for the party, which turned out pretty cute. I Should be more crafty, but it's not really my strong suit. Then we went out and walked around. Then for medio-dia i made mashed potaotes which turned out marvillously. Then we passed by and had a lesson with norberto because nalda wasn't home. Then thalia, and then english class. It is always super fun to go to english class, because I can make super funny jokes usig spanish and english, and they get it. They all think I'm Hilariuos which is of course a lie, but... I won't tell them.

DOMINGO:

SO today Kalifa got baptized... He is the amigo of the Elders, and is from Mali. He is super cool, and it was awesome watching him get baptized. So we recieved a Church refrence which never happens. So this refrence that we recieved is from this guy named jose, who is investagting lot's of churches and requested a BOM, and missionary lessons. Talk about golden, Right? So we called him and set up an appointment for tuesday! I am so excited.   Then we had a lesson with Joel and Lorena who own a kiosko. It was fun. Then we helped decorate he christmas tree with the familia Rivera, and ate cake.

LUNES:

Well we just hung out in the piso today. We went shopping and bought o much food. Kiwi's of course. Then we made pizza from scratch which surprisingly tuned oout amazing! And now we writing you guys.We might go get icecream or something later... Not sure, but next monday could be my last P-Day in Leon because we have transfers the day after christmas, and then i would go to my new area on that monday, so If i stay i'm totally god with that, but if i go, I'm good with that also.  


Anyhow, well i love you guys sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Much and  hope that you have a great week!!!

Transfer 4 Week 2 Leon

Aloha...

- Whoever guesses it first wins a hug!

Okay, this week we ran out of Book of Mormons completly in spanish and english, but we still have a few in portugese. Okay there have been so many things that have happened this week, I will try my hardest to capture everything!

LUNES:

Okay so we don't ever do cool stuff for P-Day because there is nothing to do in Leon and it's really cold.. So all that we did was window shopping, cleaning, and writing you guys. Then we had a few cita's set up for the evening but they failed us, but we got to walk around, and talk to people so, that is never a bad thing. *Some jehovahs witnesses stopped us and gave us some pamphlets and stuff, and now I understand why everyone has "Prisa" which means that they are in a rush. We definitly had some "Prisa" in that moment, but you can only run so fast in a skirt. No, but it was actually kind of hilarious. 

MARTES:

Okay, so we left the piso and went to pass-by some people, and we finally had a lesson with a pass-by!  So her name is roas, and we know her son and her son's girlfriend, but we had never taught her. So we passed by and she was home and we taught her and it went really great. The cool thing is that she is bestfriends with our mission leader, and his wife. So we have an "in" there. After that we went to the train station and  were looking at the schedules for this certain pueblo, and we bought our tickets without realizing that you can't buy them in advance. So we bought our tickets and then figured this out, and asked the lady is we could exchange them for another day and she said no. So we felt pretty blonde, but we did it right the next time. Then we went to the bus station, and bought our tickets for La Baneza, and then went to La Baneza. We visited this super sweet member named Angeli, who is the bestfriend of our investgator. So we taught her ina cafeteria, and this drunk guy like pulled up a chair, and for some reason he thought I was from Germany so he was speaking german to me, as we trying to have this lesson. It was crazy, and his breath reeked. Even though it was super akward, it was still kind of funny, although I have never wanted to punch someone so bad before in my life. "I didn't punch him".  Then we met this columbian lady, who wanted to learn english, and about the Book of Mormon; So all I have to offer. She promised to make us Arepas! I can't wait to teach her.

MIERCOLES:

Okay so we didn't have District meeting, so we did Carpeta in the morning. Then we left and had a lesson with carmen, which went really well. So we brought with us, Lucy who is a member. We taught her OLA which is Orar, Leer, y Asistir which mean pray, read, and come to church. Becuase if you have ever wanted to recieve an answer to a pray, comfort, peace, to grow your faith, this is the pattern. To pray with te hope that god will answer you. Then we went and tuahgt fanny who is a less active member, also with lucy. It was fun. We helped her fix her clothes dryer. Then we trekked back to the piso through to bitter cold, and then had hot choclate. 

JUEVES:

So in the morning we planned, and then passed by carmen who is doing rehabilitation in the hospital. Then we had Maribel and her family! So we found out that the dad, "Moises" after months and months of looking for a job, finally found one. So he is working now which for me is a miracle, and evidence that if your doing what the lord want's you to do, he will bless you with the things that you need. The lesson was awesome; We saw the video of the restoration, with our mission leader and his wife. 

VIERNES:

So we went to visit one of our members who lives super far away. In fact so far that we had to take a train through the spanish mountains. She lives in a teeny tiny pueblo called La Ercina. Okay so pedro (our mission leader) had told us that she lived in Bonyar which is a bigger pueblo for that region of Leon. So we took the train, and got off in Bonyar. We call raquel, the lady we were going to visit to see where she lived. She answer, "Well I'm at the train station and no one is here." OH CRAP. We definitly got off at the wrong stop, because we thought she live in Bonyar. So we were stranded there for 4 hours without a taxi waiting for the train to pass by. So since we coulden't visit her we had to put off our visit with her until the following day. But! The cool thing is that the whole ride up, and the whole time we were there, it was snowing. There was a bunch of snow on the ground, and it was snowing the whole time. It was so fun. Then we had a lesson with our the rivera's which was really cool. Then we had a going away Noche de Rama for Mosiah who is going to leave for his mission in Brasil in a 2 weeks. It was a little awkward, because it was a surprise, and there were only 8 people there, not even president came; and they made him put on the armour of god which.... well.. The food was good though. 

SABADO:

Okay so this time we got it right. We went to the right pueblo and visited Raquel. She lives in a house, which it felt nice to be in house, but it is really old. She lives in one tiny room of the house, with a couch and TV, nd the rest is just abandoned. She doesn't have a heater (as it is snowing) and she onyl has electrcity in this tiny room. Her front doors don't close so they just stay open all the time. In the tiny pueblo that she lives in, there are only 3 other people. Almost all of the houses are abaondoned, or left desolate. Anyho we met all of the people ho live there. We ended up teaching her friend named vicente there with her which was fun. Also she grows all of her own food.She doesn't buy anything. It's cool, but she also needs a lot of help so we are going to go back next eek and fix her place up little bit and build her a chicken coup, and help her turn this other part of the house tht has insulation into a little apartment. Anyhow so we visited her, and then we got back to Leon, and saw Maria Dolores, and then had English clases. 

DOMINGO:

So we had church like noral, and talked with ruben who is mosiahs dad, abouthim leaving, and about how awesome of a missionary he is going to be. Then after church we had a bunch of lessons set up, but they all failed so then we contacted for a little while, but we foud a ton of awesome people. Then we had dinner with the familia rivera which as always is a blast! 

LUNES:

So basically we have just spent the whole day with Maria Dolores. She fed us, then we talked with her about life, and then we took a nap with her. Now were writing.

Transfer 4 Week 3 Leon:

Okay...

Well this week was really fast. We did intercambios in Madrid, so that always makes the week go by really fast. We visited a bunch of pueblos this week too, which is always fun because it reminds me of Texas for some reason.

LUNES:

Well after we wrote you guys we had had 2 Leccion's planned but the both failed but we had brought Lucy with us so then we passed by one of members houses named Lesdy. So we swung by, and visited her for a little while, drank a cola-cola and went to the piso.

So i ended up giving some of my clothes to Lucy because I'm like 98% sure that I'm leaving Leon at the end of this transfer, so i had to get rid of some stuff. So she loved that , and were like the same size so it all fit her well!

MARTES:

Well we had a lesson with Hortensia, who was a little sad because her son is about to leave for his mission in Brazil, Fortaleza. Then we went to La Baneza because we were supposed to have a lesson with Angeli who is that member that we found there, but she texted us right after we got there, and told us that she couldn't meet so we decided to pass by this reference that we had, but the lived like 20 minutes outside of La Baneza, and there wasn't a bus so we had to take a Taxi, which was crazy expensive but we got there. So he dropped us off at this like ranch style house, with a pool and a flock of giant dogs (Herd?) and so obviously we timbered (Rang the outside doorbell). Two blonde girls came out...  The first real blonde girls I have ever met here. They don't have blonde people, everyone is brunette. That's why they always assume that I am American, because I have blondish hair. Okay, anyhow they were 18, and 14 and were named Jessica and Sara. So we taught them, and found out that they had come to the capilla with their grandparents who are members before, but their grandparents live in Barcelona so they only go when their grandparents are visiting. Anyhow, they were really sweet, and it was a crazy miracle to even find their house, let alone teach them. So after that we took a taxi back to LA Baneza, and then a bus back to Leon. Then Bed.

MIERCOLES:

Okay, so we ended up passing by Hortenisa again just to give her a shoulder to cry on, because she is taking her son leaving on a mission pretty hard, so we cried with her a little then we had district meeting.  Then we went to have a lesson with our new investigator named Aida, who is Colombian. So we got there and walked into her piso and found our other investigator Vetter! So turns out he is renting a room from her, so we had a lesson with both of them which was awesome. Two baptisms, one font?   Anyhow, that was cool, but after that we went and taught fanny who is a member. We taught her about how we feel after we truly repent, which she loved. #Alma 36:20....   Then we talked with her for a little while and then we back to the piso.

JUEVES:

We planned for the week, which is cool, but it always take forever.. But it is cool because we can really see all of the new people we taught , and who is really progressing. So after that we took a bus to Santa Maria del Parramo, and then from there we took a taxi to Billar del yermo, which is the tiny Pueblo where Isabel lives. Isabel is a member who used to live leon, but oved for a job to this tiny pueblo. She is a Shepard of sheep. So we visited hr, ate some beans and rice, and then went and played with her sheep. Just the baby ones. It was so fun, but I smelled a little sheepy afterward. Worth it. Then we went back to Leon, and had Correlacion with pedro. Then we Visited Maria Dolores who is doing really good.

VIERNES:

So We had planned the night before to wake up a 5am, so that we could get ready, and leave at 6 so we could make our train at 6:50. So the alarm went off, and i looked at my watch, and it was already 6:00am. So we scrambled around packed, then ran to the train station. So we get on the train a realize that the office Elders bought us the long train to Madrid, that take 5 hours instead of 2& 1/2. So we slept, and played uno. Then we did Intercambios, I was with HNA Brotherson, who is a machine. It was really fun.

SABADO:

SO we took a train back to Leon, and then had MEdio-Dia, and then went to the Rivera's to have a going away party for Mosiah. We made cookies. #NO BAKES... Then we went to Maribel's. So the whole family was there  together once again, Maribel, Moises, Emily, Alan. So we taught them how to read a scripture story and make it fun, so they can really learn something by applying the scriptures to them selves. So we read the story about Nephi and when he is building a ship. It was way fun. Then they gave us some Cola-coa, and I taught Emily how to play the guitar a little bit, and we got to see some pictures of the when they were younger. Then we went home.

DOMINGO:

So we had church (Obviously) then went to eat at the piso. Then We went to visit Carmen in the hospital with Pedro and Narcisa, Our mission Leader and his wife. Then they took us in their car to drop us off at a lesson, but then we took a detour and went to get hot chocolate, so I felt a little guilty for that, but they bought so... Then we went to our lesson with fanny, which was super fun, and she promised to make us Maris Sonando which is this super Dominican drink with milk, and sugar, and orange juice.. It's super rich. Then home.

LUNES:

I Felt super bad all day, don't know why but we cleaned, then went to say goodbye to Mosiah, at the train station. He just left for his mission today, but his family drove down to the airport in Madrid to tell him goodbye, so we didn't see them. Then we ate Dominoes, and no were writing. Anyhow! Then week was really good, and really busy.

Oh I found out today that I will Leave to go home on January 9th, 2018. So in about 11 months. It's so soon. Crazy. Well I hope that I can Extend and Stay for 2 yrs. That would be Awesome....

Well I love you all and I hope that you have a great week!

Transfer 4 Week 1 Leon:

Well this week has gone by really fast, like all the weeks here. So this week in Spain is Rebajas which is like Black friday sales but for like a week, and they have it the day after Three kings day. (It's like Christmas but instead of Santa Claus coming and bringing you gifts, it's the three king who brought Jesus Gifts, like myrrh, gold, frankincense. Pretty sure that's not how you spell it). Anyhow, so the stores are packed with people, which is good for us because if they have time to shop the sales, they have time for "Salvation", Right? 

Okay,  "Luke......Soy tu padre."   Bet you can't guess it! I think it's better in English.

LUNES:

Okay so we actually did so stuff for a change instead of just laying around and eating cereal. I swear, I can't stop eating cereal now that I use this Lactose-Free Milk. It's amazing. It tastes just like milk, but it doesn't make me feel bad. Money. The blessings of living in the world these days. So we put on clothes and went shopping (Christmas money). P.S. Thanks Mom, A, Grammy!   So there is this cute place called lefty's here which is basically Forever 21, or HM, which means it's really cute, and cheap. So I bought some shirts there. Then we went and bought just a ridiculous amount of groceries in Mercadona. Like, our fridge was full, and all of our cabinets are full of food. It's crazy. Then to Burger King. I actually hate burger king, but it's the only thing remotely American here other than McDonald's, but they are both really expensive here. I guess it's really "foreign". They love American stuff here. I think I have seen more LEVY's jeans, and VAN's shoes, OREO's cookies here then back home. I think it's kind of funny, because people here have great style, very European, until you realize that they are just wearing our clothes, in a better, more classy way. Then we gave away 4 LDM's to add to the goal, and then we just passed by some people but no one was home. 

MARTES:

So we plan the night before, for the next day. So normally during studies we call people and see if they can meet that day. So we had made our plan of all of the people who we were going to pass by, and then the next morning we called all of them, and they all told us that they couldn't meet, so we ended up doing carpeta in the morning, but then after medio-dia we had a really great lesson with this lady called Carmen. She is Spanish, and is looking for a way to have a better, closer relationship with god, so we went over and talked about how she could accomplish that, which is the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Anyhow, it was our first Lesson with her, but she is super cool. She wants to be baptized. So we are hoping that she will be able to be baptized then! Okay so after that we had English classes, and then N.D Jas. So today we gave away 5 LDM's which was cool, and we finally have a new investigator to add to the list! 

MIERCOLES:

So in the morning we did a lot pass-bys, and i found some really pretty parts of Leon that I had never seen. Fear not. I have pictures. Then as we were on the way to pass by one of our less active members named Gaudy, we ran into her into the street. I actually went up to contact her, when i realized who it was. She told us that she is moving back to her pais. So after that, we went to do even more pass-bys and then passed by Los Cachuguay, Which is our mission leaders family. They are super sweet, so we went and hung out with Guillermo, their son who could quite possibly be the cutest little boy that i have ever seen. Then we went to teach Maribel, Moises, Alan, and Emily! We brought Mosiah who is the son of the family who feeds us every Sunday. He is about to leave for his mission to Fortaleza, Brazil! He leaves in like 2 weeks or something. Crazy. So we brought him to help us with the lesson, which went really awesome. At the end of the lesson, we asked them to be baptized as a family, and they said yes. So we are working on that as well! So today we gave away 6 LDM's. 

JUEVES:

So we planned in the morning. Then the Gijon Hermanas came t our piso and we ate spaghetti with chicken, becauase after medio-dia e had interviews with President pack. That was cool. Then we did intercambios with them. So I was with Hermana Nielson, who es una maquina. So we passed by Maria Dolores and taught her about the Holy Ghost. Then we tried to passy by some other people but everything else fell thru, but we still had so much fun. So Hermanas Maza, and Mendoza Taught our new investagator namde Vetter, who is from Columbia. He also has a baptim date for the 4th of February. So that is awesome as well. Then they had a lesson with Hortensia who is a member, and then we came back to the piso. We only handed out 2 LDM's because we are completely out. We have ordered more though. So then they stayed the night with us, because friday we had Zone Conference. 

VIERNES:

So We had Zone Conference, which was really amazing. We talked about repentance and how it's a gift that we have to make us feel better, and to help us become clean. It was really amazing. Then I got a Christmas Letter form my mommy which was cute. Then after that I sang  musical number with Elder Hooker who is Aviles. We sang Acompaneme. (I Don't Have a Spanish Keyboard so sorry for that.) Which is abide with me. It was okay. Then we went with Ruben, the ad of the family who feeds us on Sundays. We wet to visit his friend, Agustin, who had a ton of really great questions, and is really interested. Then we had N. D. Rama, and the elders taught.  We got LDM's today for the AP's so we ended up giving out 4. 

SABADO:

Then we did a bunch of pass-by's and set up a bunch of appointments. Then we had correlation with Pedro, and then we taught Ines, who is just the sweetest little Dominican lady that you could ever meet. She also has a baptism date for the 4th of February. Then we had English class, with a bunch of people. Then we went and gave maria Dolores a birthday present. She is so sweet!

DOMINGO:

So we had Consejo, which is ward council. (It's just a church meeting with all of the leaders of our branch or ward where we talk about the things that we need to do, change, and set goals.) Then we had church. Then we did even more pass-bys and set up even more cita's for this week, and then we went to the Riveras. It was funny. It was elder Kisers first night with them, and they love playing jokes on us. So they were messing with him, but they actually didn't do really anything to him, which was maddening because they mess with me way more. But it was fun anyways, because when we were leaving elder kiser accidental knocked down their chandelier, but it was one that you hang up to put candle in and stuff, and it was funny. So we gave out 3 LDM's.

So as for our goal, we are up to 80 LDMs this week, toward the total. So we didn't give out quite as many this week but it's because we didn't have very many. But as for right now we have high hope for two people being baptized, as well as an awesome family before the end of his transfer!   

Anyhow, I love you all very much, and i hope that you all have wonderful weeks filled with miracles!

6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.
