It Was Love At First Sight..... Hahaha!

First off! I freaking love my companion!!! Hermana Espinosa and I have been having fun and working hard since day one together! We are both studying the New Testament, and are currently in Romans. We are reading the Book of Mormon all the way through and marking all the times it talks about Jesus Christ. And we both have the goal of memorizing The Living Christ. So pretty much we are bestest friends ever. I love her! We are constantly laughing, and we have seen so many miracles together! It's been great, because we totally push each other to be better and work harder.

So now that I'm done gushing about my companion. I'm going to write about this week!!!

One of my elder besties went home on Wednesday. His birthday was on Wednesday, so we had a mini birthday party! We brought pizza and cookies! It was awesome!!! Shoutout to Haddon!!! 

A member took us out for pizza. The logo for the pizza shop is "Friends don't let friends buy $5 pizza". A couple days later a member gave us money for dinner, and we bought a $5 pizza so we could use the rest for groceries this week. #brokemissionarylife

A little girl spit red juice all of my face on Monday. I smelled like jamaica and spit for the rest of the night. It got in my glasses, all down my clothes, and made my eyelashes stick together. I'm learning patience.....obviously.

PURE TESTIMONY MOMENT

So Hermana Espinosa is like the most boss street contact-er I have ever met. We talk to a lot of people everyday! So this guy was being super rude to us. And started saying false things about the church. We bore pure and simple testimony about our Heavenly Father, and how the church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth, and then about the plan that our Heavenly Father has for us. His heart was softened, to the point that he took our card, and we left him with a commitment to read 1 Corinthians 15, to find out more about the Plan of Salvation! It was so cool!

Then I contacted two people chilling on a porch. "We are here to help people get a closer relationship with Jesus Christ". "I'm getting close to him right now". Then I realized that they were high..... Oh Las Vegas. "Wow, I really like your pigeons. Do you send messages with them?"(espinosa) "Naw man. I raise them to do flips." Then he took one out and it flew to the top of the roof, and just looked at us....It was so awkward. #THEHAMPTONS

Sister Espinosa and I will be hot chocolate drinking buddies in Hades.....We are too snarky and sarcastic awesome to go to heaven. hahaha.

We have made water drinking a competition. I'm winning. I don't liek hot chocolate warm water, so I drink the water as soon as we get it. I might start carrying hot chocolate packs for her. Hahaha. 

One of the elders also serving in Ensign is from the Dominican Republic. I told her that people from the D.R. hate it when you say that Haiti is better. So when he was introducing himself in District council she yelled,"Yeah. But Haiti is better". He was pissed, I died laughing. Then later that day she told an elder, "Oh yeah. I heard the Matchu Pichu was moved to Canada to help with tourism..." He believed her. Hahaha. #favoritecomp

AWESOME PRAYER MOMENT

So before we got out of the car, I sincerly asked Heavenly Father to help us find someone who would be interested. We got out of the car and street contacted this lady that was outside with her kids. We shared with her about how our families can be together forever, and she was super interested. And then she told us to come back, but she was like "I would like to be taught in Spanish". Pretty much my heart did a happy dance. It was so cool! Prayer works, and Heavenly Father prepares His children! :)

I got to go back to North Las Vegas this week. Ana, a lady that I taught forever ago, got baptized. "I cried every time you visited me. I knew what you were saying was true, I just didn't feel ready to do it. Thank you for not giving up on me!" It was awesome!!!!!

So yeah. Espinosa is the best. I love her. It's going to be a fun and awesome transfer!!!!! Also she is kicking my butt into shape! I've been running everyday! :) 

Have a great week y'all! I love you! Choose the right! Remember who you are! Heavenly Father loves you!!!! Mormon Message of the week: A mother's hope.
