Mom!!!!!!! I'm going to be a MOM!!!!

I just finished my training on Friday, and then Saturday at Transfer Doctrine, it was revealed that I have been called to be a TRAINER!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness! I am so so excited!!!!!!! I have no idea who she is until Wednesday, when she comes from Mexico!!!! I cannot believe it!!! Only 2 other Spanish missionaries in the last 3-4 years in this area have been called to train right after being trained!!!
I've finally started to get better at kinacki!!!!!!! Whoo hoo!!!!!
Sister Pecjak, told me that because the last two weeks have been challenging, it was Satan trying to get me to give up, and therefore not be able to train!!! In YOUR face Satan!!!!
We exeeded our goal of street contacts this week! 53 people man!!!!!!!! Ah! We've have NEVER gotten so many! And our transfer number was 219 people talked to, and invited to do something!!!! We were 2nd in the district in street contacts this week!!!!! YAY!!!!
Last week we got creeped on by two young hispanics. We were walking, and they drove up and said, "Hey. You are pretty.... Do you need a ride?". We had to think about it, NOT. It was so weird, especially because of the fact that they had only seen us from behind.....
My challenge to you this week is to read in Alma 22-23!!!! Ammon and his brothers are probably my favorite missionaries ever!!!! They endured so much, and sacrificed EVERYTHING, and they are the most successful missionaries in the history of ever!!!!! So I invite y'all to be the best MEMBER missionaries EVER!!! Go out with the missionaries to lessons, help them, and support them!
Thanks for the awesome package y'all sent!!! I loved it!!!!
I love y'all have a great week!!! :)

This week!!!!!

So, this week. I'm not even sure. I wrote y'all a letter, so I'm not positive on what to write!!!
Funny story: So we were visiting a member from our ward. The lady is pushing 100!!! So her son and husband were arguing about something stupid. And out of nowhere she takes her teeth out, and starts "shining" them with her finger. It was the darndest thing I've ever seen!!!! It took all my self control to not bust out laughing.
Um..... What else..... We had to learn the word for necklace in Spanish. It was a necessity!!! The same lady thought we were complementing her breasts.... It was beyond awkward......
My favorite recent convert (before I got to Alta Vista), is going back to Mexico. I look like a giant next to her!!!


Our recent converts are going to the temple to do family names within the month!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!! There are going to be so many people from the other side, who are going to recieve essential convenants!!!! I'm crazy excited for them!!!! They walk around the temple as a family every week!!!! It's amazing how strong they are! And Martha might have her baby this week, I talked her out of Brittney, so now she's going for Allison!!! :)
We had awesome street contacting experiences this week!!!
Went to a REAL LIFE movie theater to watch Meet the Mormons, with our investigators!! It was the coolest thing ever!!! I love the NVLV mission!!! It's the coolest/best mission ever!!!!!!!
Interviews went great. Learned a lot!!!!!
Okay!!! This is a picture from saturday, the elders think it's hilarious to mess with our car, and cover it in Jesus Cards, and folletos. Not pictured.....All the times we've done it to them.......


​Love y'all. Have a great week! Choose the right! Pray every single day! Remember who you are, and who you represent!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Estoy Fluent!!!

Hahahaha. Obviously I'm not, but whatev's I'm trying and learning more every day! Carlos said that he can actually understand me now!!! Blessings!!!!

Three investigators that we've taught got baptized! I forwarded the pictures to y'all!!!!!! I love that family so much!!!! Carlos and Martha are so awesome!! And Vanessa is beyond amazing, although the elders got her in the split!!!!
I met Jose Manuel. The recent convert, Book of Mormon burning, missionary hatin, super apostate person who only got baptized because he fell in love with one of the sisters who taught him!!!!! (they found out his reason after the baptism)  People have been talking about him since I got here, and I was really scared. Then I met him in the shady apartments in our area.... Dude, I could take him....
We had ZTM this week, and it was at the stake center. Someone had used the bathroom before me and didn't bother to tell me that they had used the last of the toilet paper. So, I awkwardly had to ask my comp to give me some from the next stall......
General Conference was like missionary Christmas!!!!! I loved it beyond belief!!!!!! It was crazy amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I loved how a lot of the talks talked about The Sacrament, temples, and families!!!! I'm grateful for Christ's sacrifice for us, and the opportunity to take his name upon us each week, and make covenants with our Heavenly Father!!!!
This week was pretty slow other than the baptism. We got dropped.... A lot. BUT we had an awesome experience with specific prayers! We asked that someone would be outside of Alva's house, so we could get her phone number (she has a scary pitbull outside her house, and there is no way to get in), we walked past her house and no one was there. We were disappointed,but on the way back7 minutes later, Alva and her whole family were chillin outside!!!! We talked to them, and shared pamphlets and made an appointment!!!!! The Lord answers our prayers in His own way and in His own time!!!!
Love y'all!!! Have a great week!!!!! Remember who you are and who you represent!!!!! Listen to your favorite conference talks again, and try to apply the teachings in your life! I promise that as you do this you will establish and stronger relationship with your Heavenly Father!!!! Love you guys a ton!!!!!
