Tight Like Unto A Dish!!! :)

This week was MUCH better! I love you all! Thank you so much for your love and concern!!!! You are amazing amazing people! I am seriously so blessed to have y'all in my life!

So this week I learned a new way to describe the Spirit World, in the plan of salvation lesson!!! We were practicing our lessons with a member, and the daughter got really excited. "Omg. It's like Harry Potter! When they accept the gospel the people in prison can become wizards and go through the wall, to Hogwarts (paradise)." It was an eye opening moment for me.

So we walked a lot. We biked a ton. We knocked on a million doors. We talked to 170 people. Only ten of those people were interested, and they were all for the English missionaries. Struggle of my life. #spanishmissionaryinamerica #spanishmissionaryprobs

On Tuesday we knocked on the door of a potential investigator. A little boy answered the door and in Spanish said,"This is a catholic house." Espinosa,"That's nice. Can we talk to your parents." "They are praying." So we just walked away. That small child had been trained quite well...... #missionaryavoidencetactics

Then we got money for dinner on Tuesday. We decided to try a pizza place that was close, because we are cutting it close for miles this month. As we got out of the car, a little hispanic man on a motor scooter came up to us. In Spanish he said,"Movies, movies. I have movies. Only $5." I was like bro, we don't have any money, so then he left. Spanish lesson for the day,"No tengo dinero." Which is, "I don't have money", aka, theme song of my life! ;)

The theme of our companionship "Never Late to Dinner". We were at a meeting 45 minutes away, and somehow we made it to dinner with a minute to spare! Miracles!!!!!

So we were at dinner two days in a row, and the dumb elders showed up. We are not allowed to eat dinner with the elders, because of inappropriate relationships between elders and sisters in the past. It's no problem for me because the elders are DUMB and I don't really like them. Anyway. So I was looking through the Gymboree baby Christmas ad, and saw a super cute baby. I blurted out,"Awww....I want to marry a black guy so I can have a cute baby like this one, with curly hair." Then I made really really awkward eye contact with the black elder from the Dominican.......Then the second day, a member had a non-member friend over for dinner with us. She just so happens to be Dominican as well. She asked me if I had ever been, I of course said, no. She turns to the Elder and says. "Elder. You need to take her after your mission." All the missionaries just laughed super awkwardly.......I wanted to die.

I am making plans for Espinosa's wedding. I came up with the budget for both of our weddings. "Tight...Like unto a dish". #scripturequote

I met someone who is on the dancing ministry for her church!!! I want to dance for Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya know....If I didn't dance like a white girl.....

So that was my week. We still don't have any investigators, and we are working super super hard. It's kind of disheartening sometimes, but I take comfort in the fact that I am doing the best that I can. I know that our Heavenly Father knows exactly where the elect are, and He could lead me right to them. He trusts me enough to go to those neighborhoods were everyone is mean, and not interested. He trust me that I'm going to talk to the people that are scary looking, and try to be the best representative of Christ that I can be. He trusts me to work hard, even when I am exhusted, and don't think I can go on. I am grateful that He trusts me enough, to go through hard trials. It sucks yes, and teaching people would be nice, but I am happy. I am trusted, and I am HIS daughter, and He knows I'm giving my all. What more can I ask for?

I love y'all!!!!! Have a great week!!!!!!! Remember to choose the right! And to trust our Heavenly Father!!!!!!!!
