Hermana Cordova's Las Vegas Mission Adventures!!: Punked, Avoided, Bathroom Horror Stories, and a Baptism!!!!

We got hard core punked by the singles ward sisters this week. We were chillin' in our apartment (they live in the same complex), and getting ready to do daily planning. I was sitting in my spiny chair, when we heard a very threatening sounding knock at the door. We both screamed like little girls, and then we ran into each other. We kept running back and forth from the peep hole, to the sliding door, "Do you see anyone "Nah man. Do you see anyone". WE got out our big knife, and then opened the door, only to see a little sticky note from the Singles Sisters saying, "Jesus Les Ama". "NOT okay, singles sisters. NOT OKAY". They laughed at us the next morning and sports, and said they heard the screams.....

"I feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel"-Quote from high karaoke guy. Drugs are a problem in this area......

Ways we got avoided this week:

"Bro, just tell them you don't speak english". Suckas! We speak both! :) Hahaha
A heavy lady squeezed through a tiny hole in the fence so we wouldn't have the chance to talk to her. It was slightly hilarious to watch
"I don't believe in your religion. I worship el santo muerte". She worships the devil....I've never gotten that one before...

As a missionary I'm put into a lot of awkward bathroom situations. Mostly because I drink a lot of water.... This week I used the worst bathrooms ever!!! (Inside joke time: One was a throwback to poop rainbow) I've started carrying toilet paper, and soap in my backpack now... Y'all be nice to the missionaries and clean your bathroom!!

We drove past a teenage member walking down the street this week! She gave us a popped popcorn! It made our day! :)

"Hermana, I just broke that plant with my butt". I accidentally backed into a dying aloe plant. It snapped and I got aloe on my skirt.

"Jose Juan and Cristian, the angels are dancing in the heavens. I'm sure batchata". Ohmgee I love Spanish ward!!!

I was sitting in Relief Society, and my chair suddenly decided to break. I ended up on my back and dazed.... It was super awkward, and my pride was wounded...

We had one of the best baptismal services ever!!! The spirit was so strong the whole time. We were freaking out, because we weren't sure if any of the suits would fit Cristian, but everything worked out! It was amazing! Our member fellow-shipper was able to baptize them both! It was incredible! I almost cried, and I never cry at baptisms!!! It was beautiful!!!! Also the member who referred them actually was able to come!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I encourage y'all to pray about your friends, and ask to find those who are prepared to receive the gospel!!

Hermana Davis and I will be together for at least another 6 weeks! :) We found out on Saturday! We are rocking north! :)
