Conference in a panadería

What a week!!! We had about 50 bajillion meetings this week which totally hyped us up for the Work but also meant a lottt of time in a van woop woop. Flashbacks to choir tour 2k19 

Started out with zone council where we learned how to be bold missionaries. We made a goal to talk about baptism every single visit we had with people, even the first contact on the street and it worked some miracles. After p-day we did a huge blitz in one area and found soo many people who were ready for the gospel!! 

Thursday we made the loooong trek to treinta y tres for zone conf. We got picked up at 4am and didn't make it to the church until 9.

We had a smalll but actually really big conference miracle. We had plans to have a lesson with a mom of some youth in our ward who isn't a member. Her stepson, Samael, has a baptism date for the end of April. Well we get to her house and looked at our phone and she said actually never mind, I'm too tired today hahaha rip. Then, not two minutes later the family we were supposed to watch general conference canceled because they forgot they actually don't have any internet. So, there we were, stranded in the Campo with no internet, no way to watch conference lol. We take a seat at a panadería and were like welp. THEN not two minutes later, the daughters of the woman we were supposed to have a lesson with come up and are like hey! What are you guys doing here. And we were like just trying find a way to watch conference but there's no internet. Then they were like, oh we know the password to the panadería, it's "Maria"  (coulda guessed that one).

And then we were like, hey go get your sister so we can all watch it together. He told them no, so I was like OK I'll go get her.  After that, another member family walked by and tney were like, hey can we watch with you guys, we don't have any internet. And I was like SURE
There we were all huddled around a phone, outside of a panadería, stealing their wifi, super loud busy street, conference is blaring on a speaker courtesy of the youth, just living life. Honestly, I couldn't hear much that session, but it was sooo cool. 

Have a blessed one!

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

  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
