1 Year Down, 2000 Tacos To Go!

Buenas, buenas, todos! This week was absolutely Incredible! Also I hit one year!!! It's so crazy! I honestly felt like the first 3 months would never end, and then after that it flew away. I still feel young in the mission, and like my spanish is terrible, but life is life, and the work goes on. And for this week the work was Incredible! I also went through every kind of sickness this week. It was quite interesting.

 

 

Tuesday I woke up with a fever. It was 100° but I had the chills and a fat migraine. Obviously I didn't tell my comp, and just kept working, because we had to much to do. There really wasn't time to be sick. So we taught some great lessons, and then went to the sports activity we always go to on Tuesday. It is a reference machine! Our zone has received an abundant amount of reference through out the month from this activity. But what we didnt know is that there was a member of the 70 at the church that night who is known for shutting down activitys. And sure enough me and my comp walked in, saw him, and the first thing he said is that missionaries can't come to these activities anymore. It was sad. So I just went to the house early to get some rest. But not my house, at the Activity I started divisiones with Elder Fillmore! He is awesome, we had a good time together. In the night he asked to give me a blessing, and told me if I had enough faith in Jesus Christ I would he healed in the morning. And IT WORKED! In the morning I was back to normal! It was really cool!

 

 

Friday was crazy busy! We had Zone conference in the morning, and then a baptism after Zone Conference. We also had 4 Elders stay the night with us becase of travel. To say the least I was tierd. But Zone Conference was good. We are really going for personal conversion in the mission, so I am working hard to be more converted. I always love conference for the people though. I got to see my son Elder Sanderson, and a lot of my other friends. Also Hermans Perkins made hot dogs from Costco. Even though my stomach hurt so had, I took advantage of good Hot dogs, and ate 5. After Conference we had Mariams baptism!! The ward is so great here so it went super smooth, and there was 3 investigadors there!! We where going to have 3 baptisms, but we moved one for next week, and the other is more tricky. The dad is going through the process, so he can baptize his kid. But it was really special! And just a good day! After the baptism we had a lesson with one of our investigadors, and she dropped a bomb on us. So please pray for Teresa! She should get baptized next week if everything goes as planned.

 

 

Saturday we put Alan on date for next transfer! So that was awesome! And then on Game Day(Sunday) we saw miracle after miracle! At the end of sacrament meeting, we counted, and found out we had 11 people at church!! It was such a good feeling! This ward is also so ready for the work. We had a meeting yesterday just talking about how the ward needs to find for the missionaries, and how the missionaries can help the ward being back inactive families. And to say the least it has been crazy effective! I have no need to nock a door in this area, because the ward is always giving us references! They are awesome!

 

 

That was my Incredible week! I saw so many miracles it was crazy! I know God is Always aware of us and our situation. He just wants to work with us so bad, and see his children happy! I know that we can find true joy through this Gospel, and that Jesus is the Christ! I sure love you all, and hope Thor 3 is good! Have Incredible weeks! And look toward God in every thought!
