Hermana Cordova's Las Vegas Mission Adventures!!: Bye Alta Vista hello North Las Vegas

I'm going to be straight up honest. I've been crying for the last 3 days. I'm so so so sad. I love Alta Vista with all my heart. I'll be back next week to go to Victoria and Jose's baptism. I have so many amazing recent converts here, and I love love love the members. We sang a song in sacrament meeting to say goodbye, and many of our members that I said goodbye to asked me to sing to them. Hahaha. It was slightly hilarious!

Ghetto bike got fixed up this week!! The elders who fixed it apparently went on a joy ride down hills and stairs. Elders.....

I got trapped in a bathroom this week. I couldn't open the door to save my life. Hahaha. They were all laughing at me, because they heard me struggling to open it.

I climbed into a car trunk last p-day because the dumb elders locked their keys in the car....In the ignition, and the trunk happened to be opened, so we tried to get in through the back seat. fyi. Didn't work.

President Snow hash-tagged me again. I love him so much!!! :)

The english elders are learning sign language currently. What do they use it for? To curse at each other...... Sigh.

#moldyspagetti #mylife

A less active called us up this week. She told us that she really needed help and that we needed to get there as soon as possible. We rushed right over. I always do her dishes for her, because she is disabled. To my horror, not only did she have 2 weeks of dishes stacked up, at the bottom of the pile was a crockpot full of moldy spagetti and meatballs. I almost threw up multiple times. It was so freaking disgusting. Ugh....

"If the rapture comes you'll the first one up". "If we are standing at the gates of the celestial kingdom, I'll testify that I know what Hermana Cordova has done, and the crap that she's been through". -Hermana Allen Hahaha. #sainthood

"Please bless the missionaries that they will eat it and be fat"-Julius' prayer at dinner on tuesday. hahah.

I lost my planner. :( It's like my mission iphone. So I had to use an english one all week. Sad day. Especially because I almost made it through the transfer !!!

I got pizza 2 times this week! I haven't had pizza forever!!!!!!!!!! Halleluja! hahaha.

Our mission had 1031 convert baptisms last year! :) How crazy is that????!!!

I forced Hermana Allen to visit president this week. "President I don't want to be here. Cordova forced me." "She sounds like a good companion" "She's a brat". "Don't worry Hermana Cordova, I don't believe her" Hahaha. I'm going to miss her! She's my best friend!!!! Oh btw moving to Wyoming....

That awkward moment when the branch president asks you to bear your testimony, and then you forget how to speak spanish, and you start crying because your recent converts are crying. :(

"Can we help you with anything?" "Um.....Yo necesito papel del bano." Hahhaha. So we bought Julia toilet paper! It was hilarious!!!

Julia got baptized!!!! It was magical! She was so ready! I love her. Her testimony is so strong! Voy entranarle!!! Oh course my favorite part is always when they receive the Holy Ghost! :) Powerful!!!

So north las vegas is "the promised land for spanish missionaries". I'm sad and excited. I'll let you know more about my companion. I sent a letter to y'all. I think I cried the most when I took down my picture wall, Saturday night. I'm packed and ready to go. Bye Lake Mead. Bye Alta Vista. Bye my first area! I've been here for 6 months, so I guess it was time. A lot of the members told me to come back, and of course my recent converts said I better come back after my mission! #tryingnottocryagain

I love y'all!!!! Choose the right! Remember who you are! Read my new favorite scripture in Moroni 7:13!!!!

Pray for me, my new area, and new companion!!! I'd really appreciate it! Also pray for alta vista! <3

Bye! Write to y'all next week!!!!
