Cats and cop cars??

 

Holaaaaaaaaaa, 

How is everyone doing? I hope that all of you are doing super well. This week has been super exciting and crazy. 

So, I really do love my little area of Kennewick SP4 but sometimes it feels like a different country because it is all apartments and just crammed full of the strangest people. So in addition to keeping track of how many cats I see per week, I've also started keeping track of how many cop cars too. 

So here's the count:

Cats: 16

Cop cars: 28

Now to the rest of this week! First off though, we had a mission-wide party on Friday!!! And it was so much fun to have all of us in the same place and President and Sister Rasmussen had planned out a super fun day filled with mini Olympic competitions and then super great food and a sweet spiritual training afterwards. And it was just so sweet because as the sistrict, we all were matching! So Hnas Platt, Baeten, and Gensel made us all matching tie-died shirts and we tied our ribbons in our hair. We were definitely the best dressed district there. 

And yesterday, after a week of not a whole lot happening, of days and days of not being able to find anyone and our plans falling through and then the backups to the backups falling through we did have a huge milagro yesterday with Pedro y Consuelo. They are basically ready to be baptized at any time but Consuelo's heath has not been very good. And Pedro is so very sweet and he doesn't want to be baptized without her so we've been praying so hard for her heath to improve and trying to get her a priesthood blessing for about 2 weeks now! And we tried so hard this week and it just fell through again and again and then the elders on a spur of the moment request came with us yesterday and she got a blessing and immediately looked better. She was the most responsive and answering questions I've ever seen and she kept telling us she felt better!!!! So we are super hopeful that they can get baptized very soon. 

Even though this week has definitely been a super stressful and a bit of a hard week. But that has definitely made all of the milagros this week so much sweeter. 

2 Nephi 2:11

For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad.

Espero que todos ustedes tengan una semana increíble! Seguir siendo positivos y buscando la felicidad!!! Les quiero!!!!
