I ran out of gas

This week has been so, so awesome. Very busy, which is my favorite. 

The best part is when we put Elfie and Tony on data, in the same night! Elfie is 10 and her family started coming back to church about 4 months ago. She is super sweet and really wants to get baptized. We had an awesome lesson with her family last night, the spirit was so strong. And she's now on date for December 12th. 


Right after Elfie's, we jumped in the car and I started it and I'm like ahh crap we're out of gas. Then I was like nahhh we'll be fine, we can get it after Tony's haha.  We were not fine.

I've had my fair share of experiences running out of gas. I started to feel the car get super heavy and I was like oh shoot, luckily there was a gas station to our right. We pulled in, but only made it about 10 feet into the entrance before the car stopped lolol. (It was like a mega long entrance).
 
I was like ahhhh crap. Luckily the gas station people were very nice and let us borrow a gas can to fill our car a lil' bit so we could move it into a station.  Lesson learned guys, the second the light comes on just fill it up. I think I've had to learn this lesson about 7 times. 

Any waysss we made it to Tony and Kayla's, only like 20 min late. We taught the gospel of Jesus Christ lesson to Tony. And before we asked if he would like to be baptized, he goes "Kayla and I have been thinking about getting sealed in the temple" and we were like OKAY hahah that's awesome, but you have to get baptized first. Long story short, he is so excited to be baptized and he's on date for Dec 26th. This man has been to church for the past month and a half and already follows all the apostles on Facebook haha. He is so ready. 

This week we also had stake conference!  Never thought I'd be so excited about stake conference, but it was kinda like zone conference haha. Our mission president spoke at the leadership meeting and dropped some bars. So twas a good time 

This week I've been reading and reading Enos! It's my all-time favorite book. Can't quite it all here but go give it a read haha.

God truly does answer our prayers, in his timing and according to his will. Even if he can't give us exactly what we want, he can often give us comfort or feelings of peace:) that's my favorite part about prayer.

Have a blessed 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
