It's been a wild ride...

 Holaaaaaa a todos!








Esta semana fue muy rara,no la tiene pies ni cabeza ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

But it's all good! I just don't even know how to begin describing everything that happened this week so we're just gonna have to go with the shortened bullet points version. So buckle up, this is gonna be a ride.

1. We'll we had a huge milagro yesterday with Manuel! We have only had one phone lesson with him and have just been texting him for like a week or so having good scriptural conversations. But he out of the blue came to church yesterday!!!!!! Like we sort of last minute reminded him yesterday morning and then he came!!! And it was just so cool because we've never like met him in person! So that was just super super cool. So then we went over yesterday and had an in person lesson with him and talked about church and answered questions and then left him with a restauraciรณn pamphlet and he said he'd read it!!!!! So we're excited.
2. I knocked on a door and released, simultaneously, 3 perros of different sizes, three pequinitos, and 3 adults. And they all just tan in different directions screaming in fast paced Spanish. And Hermana Hollingsworth and I just stood there, by ourselves, wondering to stay or go.
3. A guy told us his brother named a dog Felon. And he, in his own words, said "and that's just kinda weird, cause then you have to yell down the street Feloooooooon! And that just don't seem right". ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sooooooooo funny, I died.
4. I heard a very strange interpretation of the last supper painting that I could have gone my whole life without hearing.
5. I got the second vaccine and I was not as sick as I thought I would be but it also wasn't good. Our roomates though got sooooooooo sick, so the impending doom was a lot but IT NEVER REALLY CAME. So that's a milagro, it was no where near as bad as the first one which is strange. 
6. Helped a kid named Josh smash a giant Black Widow spider. 
7. We couldn't wake up Antonio for church yesterday even though Hermano Loveridge showed up to give him a ride and then was gonna wake up the whole apartment complex with how loud he was knocking. So rip to that.

But in the middle of all of this chaos and whirlwhinds of weirdness, we have had some pure sweet moments. And even when things haven't gone as planned, we've been exactly where we needed to be several times, to do something that no one else could, to help in a way no once else would have been able to. So we've been really reading and studying this talk by President Hinkley about forgetting yourself and going to work. And we have truly been working so hard but things haven't always gone according to plan and that's okay cause it's not my plan. ๐Ÿ˜Š
I really would recommend all of you read it, it's awesome! 

Pero, espero que todo estรฉ bien y tengan una buena semana!
