Nah I'm just kidding, but it's funny to see people walk around with machetes all the time. hahaha just needed a SPONGE BOB reference. can I get an amen!!?? ;)
All I can say is that,om OMG. the Lord KNOWS why He does EVERYTHING. And He HEARS our prayers!!! :) Seriously this week has been amazing full of miracles.
Monday, we had to rush home before day was over to help out with the relief society activity, and it was so much fun!!! hahahah there was no pioneer costumes just Renascence (misspelled I know) dresses, but we rented them anyways and mine was too small and I was like hulk busting out of that dress but omg it was so much fun. Hahaha we did a little drama and made fruit sculptures. then, we had a bomb noche de hogar with a member family :)
Well this week, we have been teaching family Torres Gonzales and they still have a baptismal date for the 29th. we are thinking that we are going to move it to next Saturday though, because they still need a few more things, but we are soooo happy for them.
Thursday, we had a capacitación de 9 hours. OMG. it was so long.... some sad things happened in the mission with some disobedient elders and 9 of them went home. It was sad, but hey, The Lord has given us commandments. not suggestions. :) and while that happened, something happened in Venezuela, and they had to take out 240 foreign missionaries from Venezuela and send them to the other missions here in the south American continent, so we received 7 new missionaries!!! that is awesome and it was cool because they are all such wonderful missionaries who are super aware of our responsibility como miembros de la church of Jesus Christ :) and so that was a really uplifting conference that we had :)
Friday, we had our reunión de distrito, and we had a farewell for elder Lema, who is completing his mini mission. He is an elder who has some kind of slight social disorder, but he is the SWEEEEEEEETEST person you' ll ever meet. omg. it was such a pleasure having him in our district!!! it was awesome, we bore our testimonies and also thanked him for being him, because really, he was such a great example to us all. :) it was such a wonderful meeting and the Spirit was so strong. :)
Saturday, Hermana Cajas y yo had a service project and invited all the missionaries in the zone to help us. Yeah it was getting hard bringing cinder blocks to the third story of the house... just us two. hahaha so we all worked together and moved all the blocks and pikes of sand and gravel. The family was so thankful for our service. It was a family menos activo and they were just soooo surprised. suh I'm still sore, but it was sooo worth it, seeing the happiness on their faces :)
Sunday..... Sunday.... transfers!!! we received our new assignments Sunday, but before that, we went to church and it was great. I was feeling so great, but at the same time just kind of different, like... IDK I knew that I was going to leave. Lol on the way to church , we saw one of our investigators coming up the hill and she was like go go!! I'm coming, and we were like what?=!?!?! she's coming all on her own!! and then she goes, yeah I'm going to that evangelical church over there... and then our hearts broke... ha ha and then we went down the hill..all sad, but then out of nowhere, we see a girl that we met on Thursday and she was like hey!!! I'm going to your church next Sunday!!! my friend wants to go and we both really want to learn more!!! and then oh man we were totally on a super high!! :D that was awesome. After church, we went to our mamita for lunch, our favorite family, Fam Guajan Panama. It was so much fun, we took funny pictures and shared a really great message. and... we were all crying. The spirit was so strong and all the testimonies that were borne were so beautiful. :) I can't hold in my tears, I am a baby I know, and Hna Guajan told us that she prayed to know who was leaving, and she felt.. Hna Tangdal is leaving... and... ah I already felt that too. and.... after many tears, but tears of happiness... we received our assignments.
duh...
duh...

I screamed. sooooooooo excited. hahahhah 1) HNA IREPAN!!! she is sooooo awesome I am soooooo happy!!!! she is from Mexico and we were friends before being comps, so we are really excited. :) and 2) opening sector ...again. hahahaha that makes 3 out of 4, but I guess the Lord trusts me. ... and... again... I leave right before my investigators get baptized.... hahaha but I'm just so happy that I get to be a part f this work and help my brothers and sisters hear about the Gospel.-
So today is Monday. we came to the terminal and said bye to my zone :((((( they're only like 15 minutes away, but seriously I was so close to all of them. I know that we are all going to see each other in the spirit world though and I know that they are going to continue to be the best missionaries that they can be :) so proud of them :) and now, I am here in Otavalo with my beautiful new companion!!! I am going to miss Sister Cajas, but I know that we will all be reunited too soon and it will be the happiest experience ever! :D Oh and our house was occupied by elders and its so nasty. We have to clean tonight. Elders, don't be so nasty. Clean the house. hahahaha
But, this week has been absolutely full of miracles. Full. Of. Miracles. Our toilet has been fixed, I killed another big nasty spider in my house before it killed us, I got up before the alarm clock sounded....etc..... lololol but really, we have seen so much progress in the ward and our investigators. It was a hard week because we heard a lot of sad stuff about people not wanting to go to the church because it's a small community and everyone knows everything about everyone and they're like no you let THOSE people into your church!!?? Yeah it was sad, but I KNOW that we really were able to help the ward. I am so happy with the work that I was able to do there. :) We were able to bring back some inactive members and gain the confidence of the members. It was a beautiful time being able to share my testimony and love with all my brothers and sisters there. I don't have my agenda to be more specific, but just know that this week has been sooooo beautiful.
And now, well I know that the Lord has a purpose for everything. God knows why I'm with my current companion, and I do too. I'm so excited to be able to help in any way , shape, and form here . :) I love life and I am sooooo grateful to have a God who loves me and has given me His son Jesus Christ as a Savior. Life is beautiful when we just open our eyes! :) Open your eyes. See the Good in the world. there is opposition in all things, but there is a God and He loves you. Just pray to Him Ask Him if He´s there, and I bet you my everything that He will give you and answer. I know that because I always ´pray for His help, and I ALWAYS see His hand in my life. I am so happy. :) The Church is true. I promise. Invite someone to Church this week :) Open your mouth and share the truth!!! :D share the love! because it's for every single one of God´s children. I'm so excited for conference!!!! :D
And Pappy!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :DDDD I love you all!!! have a beautiful week!!!! Ill be praying for you!!
