ANOTHER WEEK IN EL SALVADOR!! SO WE FOUND OUT FOR SURE THAT HNA VELÁSQUEZ IS TRANSFERING ON THE 12TH OF OCTOBER! WE KNEW IT WAS COMING THE TIME WITH HER HAS BEEN TOO GOOD!! CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE HOW I WILL GET ALONG WITH MY NEW COMPANION AND WHO IT WILL BE!! IT SURE MAKES LIFE EXCITING!!
SO THIS WEEK WE SAW ANOTHER MIRACLE! HNA DINORAH HAS BEEN RECEIVING MISSIONARIES FOR 15 YEARS, WE FOUND HER MY FIRST MONTH HERE AND HAVE BEEN TEACHING HER EVER SINCE, SHE LOVES EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CHURCH! BUT SHE HAS A BACKGROUND OF ANOTHER RELIGION, SHE DID NOT WANT TO CHANGE HER CUSTOMS. WE DID NOT GO TO HERE HOUSE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS WHEN WE GOT A PHONE CALL FROM HER ASKING US TO COME VISIT HER, WHEN WE WENT TO HER HOUSE SHE TOLD US THAT SHE FEELS LIKE SHE IS MISSING SOMETHING IN HER LIFE, SHE PRAYED AND JUST DOESN’T KNOW WHAT IT IS, WELL THEN SHE STARTED TELLING US HOW SHE IS ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT US AND ABOUT GOING TO CHURCH WITH US, WELL SHE TOLD US SHE IS ALWAYS PRAYING AND WE TOLD HER WE WOULD COME BACK LATER IN THE WEEK, WHEN WE CAME BACK SHE SAID SHE GOT AN ANSWER THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE BAPTIZED! THAT SHE KNEW SHE WAS MISSING THE FULL GOSPEL IN HER LIFE! I ABOUT CRIED IN 2 WEEKS OCT 6TH! MY 6TH MONTH MARK IN MY MISSION! DURING COMP STUDY HNA SHARED HER THOUGHTS ABOUT THE ATONEMENT OF JESUS CHRIST, SHE ASKED ME WHY JESUS CHRIST WENT TO GETHSAMANI? WELL LOOK UP WHERE IT IS AND JUST THINK ABOUT THE PROCESS OF GETTING OLIVE OIL! WE HAD A ZONE MEETING THIS WEEK AND ONE OF THE NEW ELDERS FROM UTAH TOLD ME HE LIKED MY SOUTHERN ACCENT…MAN I REALLY DO HAVE A TWANG! LOL! WE PLAYED A FUN GAME AND I WON COOKIES CAUSE I NEVER GOT OUT! WOOT!! I TALKED WITH ELDER RODRIGUEZ, HE´S FROM HERE, WELL HIS FAVORITE BBALL PLAYER IS KOLBY, REALLY?? I TOLD HIM I COULDN’T TALK TO HIM ANYMORE IF HE REALLY LIKES HIM!! LOL!! WELL I GOT SOME LITTLE CHILIES FROM AN INVESTIGATOR AND I THREW THEM IN MY SPAGHETTI THIS WEEK, I DID NOT THINK THEY WERE SO HOT AND I TOOK A WHOLE ONE AND THREW IT IN MY MOUTH! BAD IDEA!! MY MOUTH WAS ON FIRE!! OH MY!! I DID EVERYTHING AND MY EYERS WHERE WATERING LIKE CRAZY!!! WE STARTED TEACHING ENGLISH IN THE CHURCH FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO LEARN, IT HAS BEEN GREAT AND PEOPLE REALLY RESPECT ME FOR LEARNING SPANISH SO FAST! WE HAVE SO MANY INVESTIGATORS THAT SPEAK ENGLISH TOO!! A NEW ONE ALEXANDER JUST MOVED BACK FROM CALI SEEMS LIKE ALL THE ILLEGALS ARE IN LOS ANGELES OR IN HOUSTON BUT ANYWAYS HE TOLD US THAT IF WE HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE GUYS IN THE NEIGHBOR HOOD HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM FOR US! IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY! I ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS GONNA DO IF WE DID? LOL! HE SAID JUST TALK TO THEM I AM FRIENDS WITH ALMOST ALL OF THEM, I LAUGHED CAUSE HE SAID IT LIKE HE WAS GOING TO BEAT THEM UP! WE HAD OUR INTERVIEWS WITH PRESIDENT THIS WEEK HE ASKED ME TO SAY THE OPENING PRAYER AND WHEN I FINISHED, I LOOKED UP AND HE WAS IN TEARS, TELLING ME THAT IS ALL HE NEEDED, THAT HE KNOWS HE DOESN’T HAVE TO INTERVIEW ME…SO THEN HE ASKED ME WHAT HE COULD DO FOR ME TO HELP ME IN MY MISSION, I TOLD HIM HONESTLY NOTHING! HE THEN TOLD ME A QUOTE THAT BASICALLY SAID THAT I AM HIGH YEILD WITH LOW MANTINENCE, HE THEN GOES ON TO EXPLAIN THAT HE KNOWS I AM JUST STARTING MY MISSION BUT HE WISHED I KNEW HOW AMAZING I AM THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE THE BEST LIFE FROM MY MISSION EXPERIENCES BECAUSE OF MY ATTITUDE. WE WERE BOTH IN TEARS BY THE END OF IT! IT WAS AMAZING! THEN THE ASSISTANTS OF THE PRESIDENT DROVE US HOME WHICH WAS NICE NOT HAVING TO TAKE A 30 MINUTE BUS RIDE! AND IT WAS SO NICE BEING IN A CAR AGAIN! I SURE DO MISS SOMETHINGS!! LAST NIGHT I TAUGHT A GREAT LESSON ABOUT FAITH AND REPENTANCE WITH SMORES! IT WAS AN AMAZING ACTIVITY LESSON I HAVE TO SAY!! LOl!! THEY HAD NEVER HAD SMORES IN THERE LIVES!! OH MY!!! THAT IS ABOUT ALL THIS WEEK!! GENERAL CONFERENCE IS NEXT WEEK!! WOW!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!
