That song is playIng all over the place and I can't get it out of my head!
Pues, esta semana ha sido.. freaking amazing! Tantas cosas que pasaron!!!
Okay, escribí algunas cosas chidas que quería compartir con ustedes!!!!
Well, last week we did an ayuno (fast) to find a family to teach and hopefully prepare to get baptized... y que pasó!? Well, we found a familia!! My compis and I were doing divisions with two sister from church and my comp went to teach Familia Conejo. While teaching, this little boy, Inti Morales (neighbor), came over and was like hey can I listen and my comp was like, yeah!! And he just sat and listened an at the end she was like here, here's a folleto (pamphlet) for your family! Go ask them if they want to hear us! and he was like OK! and ran away and she never saw him again.... Welll a few days later, my comp and I went over to familia Conejo´s house and we saw the little boy, Inti and his parents, and we were like hey!!! And then we talked to them and were like hey can we visit you!? And they were like... yeah!!!! THURSDAY! and the wife didn't look too interested, but the dad was like yeah!!! So we went Thursday and taught the lesson and at the beginning, the wife wasn't very serious and not too interested, but the dad was, and like almost finishing the lesson, the dad was like yeah I got baptized in Bogota, Colombia but I haven't gone to church in 17 years and I really want to come back. I have been looking for help, but its been so hard!! And we were like WUT. and so then... that was awesome. He was like giving his testimony and everything and then we invited his wife to get baptized and inti, and they were like YES!! tienen su fecha bautismal para the 31st of Mayo !! ahh and they are so excited. Then Inti, during the whole lesson was hugging this book and we didn't realize until the end that it was a book of Mormon!! and we were like .... wait... from where!? And they were like... yeah one day he went to his school (a Christian school) and found this book in the trash and he took it home and loves it! WE WERE LIKE...... WUT IN THE WORLD. It was soooooooooooo cool!!!!! Inti found us!! and so this week we have been helping this family out a lot and teaching them and they told us that de repente, (suddenly) they couldn't come to church because they had to do a construction job but they realllllly wanted to come! and we were bummed because their fecha bautismal would fall through if they didn't come, and they were like.. well if it rains, we will definitely come to church!!! and we were like OK!!! we are going to pray super hard that it rains! (its been raining EVERY SINGLE DAY my feet are always wet.) So, we had the whole district pray that it rained AND que pasó!? Sunday morning..... of course it was soooooo sunny and hot. We were like noooooooo!!!! how!!!??? But we did more important than anything, tell them to pray and ask God what was the best decision, go to church or no, and so we were all sad.... and they said that they'd call us if they were going to come and no call.... then we start leaving the house a little late and all of the sudden.... who called us!? THE MORALES MALDONADO FAMILY!!!!!! and they were like hey were coming to church!!! we went to work, but decided to come to church and then go back to work after church!!!! and we were like ahhh!! So happy! and so we went to go pick up the Familia Conejo and this week... well they totally changed. ugh. the husband is such a teenager. He's 25, but he's like.. ugh his reasoning with things is just.... hard to deal with ha it doesn't make sense... and so they told us that they were going to come and be ready and we came and they were just there washing clothes and said they didn't want to come. One little girl who wants to get baptized the 24th wanted to come, but we couldn't go alone with just her... it was a bummer and we were left broken hearted, buuuuuuut it was aight... Morales family was coming to church! and so we got to church like 10 late,. just in time to partake of the sacrament and we were looking for the family and DIDN'T SEE THEM ANYWHERE and we got so scared that they came and didn't see us and left because that's what happened to one of our investigators last week!!! she came, but was too embarrassed and didn't see us yet and so she left. :( and so we were just BROKEN HEARTED and then right after sacrament, I see this little boy and I was like OMG!! They're outside!!! and my comp ran outside and brought them in and it was marvelous. They stayed all three hours and were sooooooo happy!:D They loved it and the wife, Maria, is soooo excited to get baptized. She told us that she prayed and God told her that this is His church. omg so amazing. We KNOW THAT THIS IS OUR FAMILY THAT WE FASTED FOR!!!!!! :D
Friday, Hna Irepan and I planned a ward activity to play games like FHE BYU games, you now the cheesy fun ones. Well yeah we played those and some cheesy fun ones that my comp knew, and well all this week we were freaking out about the activity and thought no one was going to come because the stake organized their soccer finals for the same night... in the same building...at THE SAME TIME!!! COME ON PEOPLE!!! and everyone here LOVES soccer... so we were sure no one was going to come.... but....... we actually had a great turn out!!! something happened, and the soccer finals were cancelled!!!! and guess who came to the activity!!?? THE MORALES FAMILY!!!! They told us that night that they had received their answer from God that this is the Church of Jesucristo and that's what motivated them to come!! They had so much fun!! We all had so much fun! :) OMG it was such a blast and we are thinking about doing an activity like that every other week! they all have been talking about it all weekend! _) yey!! We even had some of our other investigators come and they had a blast!!! It was awesome!
What else... oh ha ha so 2 weeks ago while walking down the street, this middle eastern guy was like hey sisters!!! and we shook hands and walked away. And were like, oh, hey, must be a member. and then this week we saw him again! We talked a bit and actually, he's from Pakistan and he's muslim, but he LOVES CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, and was telling us all about how love is the most important thing and he is sad that there are so many like violent Muslims,etc and that the bible was translated so many times because the words have been changed and things have been lost. Cool right!? And then he was like I only want scriptures that are the truth. Only translated once! And then we were like.... THE BOOK OF MORMON! and then a taxi came and we had to jump in...., but he was super excited and we were too and we're sure that we're going to see him again. But it was cool that he was always the one to contact us and to tell us "thank you"! :)
Well, it's been raining 22/7 and my feet are ALWAYS wet. I bought new shoes and they are always wet... oops... I'm going to get wet foot disease...wait a sec... ha ha ha and it was sooo great to talk to my family and Scottypoo on skype!!! Sorry guys that I may have been without conversation, but it was just like... wut. I don't know what is happening right now,. I'm seeing you and talking to you!!!... sorry if i was boring... well shoot dang!!! I have no time!!!
What else happened this week? Well.... our investigator's mom, Maria, received her answer and is stooooooooked, so happy! And sooo I'm super happy for her :)
Oh man an sooo many other amazing things but they will have to wait for other Monday!!

Well, if you have questions about what is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, ask the missionaries and pray and ask God if what they say is true :) You'll find out for yourself by the amazing feelings that come from the Holy Ghost! :)
