Craziness!!

Well hello family!

 

I hope everyone had a great week! Mine felt a little weird. It was quick but slow at the same time! Our week, numbers wise, looked pretty pathetic. BUT!!! On Friday we had Fiestas Patrias!!!!!!!! It's a Latin-American celebration for all the different countries! it was SO fun! We spent all week really pushing people to come to the party. We visited every less-active that was in our area, every investigator that we had ever talked to, strangers, and in one desperate situation...a dog. But that's a long and slightly embarrassing story. :) Well, as a result of talking to everyone and their dog (see what I did there?) we had 33 of our people show up the the party!!!!! it was SO incredible! The familia Cruz came and we haven't been in to see them for 2 weeks, all we could do was leave a flier to come and they did, with their less-active active neighbor Karla!!!! Who we have been trying SO hard to come to church! IT WAS SO GREAT!!! All of the other missionaries were jealous...they asked our secret and we told we brought it up in every conversation we had and we made our own fliers. Nailed it!!! :) It was a true miracle and we feel so blessed to have had so many people show up! Heavenly Father is definitely helping us!

 

This week I saw my first LIVE armadillo! That was cool. Nothing else super excited happened. But we did have the Relief Society Broadcast this weekend which was AMAZING!!!!! Everyone should go and watch it on lds.org. I can't even explain how incredible it was! It made me re-evaluate my convenant keeping and if my love for the Savior is relfected in everything I do.

 

I am so grateful for this wonderful opportunity I have to be a missionary, especially in Texas, it's a choice land. :) Thank you all for the love and support! have a wonderful week!

 

Love,
