Two Weeks in da South

woop woop two weeks down! I love it out here! 

One of the best things that happened was our friend Alex came to church this week. He comes to all our English classes and soccer nights, and he totally just showed up at church hahah it was awesome. 

Our Jewish friends also invited us to shabbat which was rather interesting. 

One thing our mission is focusing on is finding "Amuleks" for the people we are teaching. Soo if you guys remember the sorry of Alma and Amulek, Alma was having a hard time teaching the people of Ammonihah, so an angel visited him and told him to try another way. This other way was recruiting Amulek to help him, because Amulek knew the people of Ammonihah, he was one of them. Once they we were both teaching, they had so much more success. 

So with this, we've been focusing on getting members to help us with our investigators and go to lessons with us. They already know the area, people, and ward way better than us so it helps so much. We've ready seen so much success from this; it's so awesome. 

That's all for this week!

La Vida - Missionary Style

Since i probably won't write a letter muahaha I decided I'd write you guys one since I don't think I've ever done that  My week was good. My comp is good she's super fun. She definitely likes to work a little ~slower~ which is an adjustment but it's alright.  Had a zone conference with our new president and his 6 kids, his youngest is 3! Haha it was funny they introduced themselves and the 3 yr old was up there screaming the whole time lol. His oldest is 15, I think. His wife speaks pretty good Spanish, she studied it in college, although never served a mission. They lived in China for a few years, because when you're super rich you can do that kind of thing. So, they all speak fluent Chinese so that's kind of weird.  But ya he's cool.   He goes "ya when I got here, I thought president Escobar was going to talk to me about the rules and the standards, but he just gave me like 50 hugs"  It was SO funny because that's very typical preside

Hermana Party Planning

  Hii everyone What a weeeek!!  Started off getting a random vaccine from a south american doctors office, that looked like it belonged in a horror movie, in hopes of not getting deported haha. Do I know what it was for? No. But my arm really hurts Other than that, this week was pretty dang good!! We were walking down the street one day when we met Irene, who we ended up talking to and sharing a scripture with. Halfway through, she told us she was a member of our church, but just hadn't been since she was 14. She invited us over for dinner the next day and we ended up having a really powerful lesson about the Book of Mormon with her and her husband who is not a member. Then on Sunday they all came to church, it was the best miracle ever!!  The second-best part of this week though was definitely the ward party. My comp and I have turned into the party planning committee because this ward hasn't had any activities since covid. So, we planned weekly FHE, ven sigue me, and a talent

Family History Baptism

Well just start off with the best news ever!! The Perez family was baptized this Saturday!!! Best. Day. Ever.  About a month and a half ago Hermana Fernández and I started teaching Liliana and her kids. It's been so incredible to watch them change and progress in the gospel. From the first time they came to church, they were super committed to the gospel. Her jóvenes have been attending all the activities and when we see them their countenances are just beaming.  The baptismal was a tad bit loco, but in a good way (mostly) hahah.  When we got to the church, the font was filled up like maybe a foot. We were like ahhh crap. We vigorously started filling pots of water and dumping them in the font it was a sight to behold that's for sure.  Sooo many people came to support them, which meant we were all super squished into the room with the baptismal font. Like super squished hahah.  Everything was going great until the Hermano who was directing the meeting decided to take some liber
