Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Yeah dad... so I actually have a suuuper strong ward (por ejemplo: Elder Zeballos from the 70, the temple president and presidency, all the older missionaries and temple workers, the patriarch, the family of Elder Viñas from the seventy, the stake presidency, the stake relief society presidency etc) haha but its true that our ward at home is sooooo strong to me the biggest thing is just how FAITHFUL they are and how much time they really give up, here our ward is STACKED with strong people with big callings but even then I wonder if many of the ward members realize that to really serve your calling you have to give more of your TIME.  

So this week was a good week, I went on divisions which was fun because I got to see a different sector and go on a little adventure, I love being comps with Hna Altamirano because she is seriously the sweetest and its fun to do divisions with other girls because she is a leader entrenadora.

My poor compie was sick this week and she was a trooper for 4 days and then finally saturday she couldn´t take it anymore and had to stay in and sleep, so I wrote in my journal and read scriptures etc which was nice because I really like being able to study, it was also good because the next day she was almost completely better... I think sometimes we just work and work till our body can´t take it anymore and just gets super sick, but hey that's the mission life, and it was a good day anyway.

We had stake conference which was great, it was all about the obra misional (missionary work) and the stake president called up all of us missionaries to sit in the seats of the choir and then we sang a musical number and I played piano, I realized how awesome it is to be able to be here and how much I love each and every member of my zone even if we aren´t allowed to be friends I love them to death, I´ve been with them for like 6 months and they are all so great! Afterwards the elders went to go get pizza at the restaurant nearby.... that was kinda sad because we couldn´t be in the same restaurant so none of us sisters could join in but its all good we went back the pension and had rice and ketchup...... I´ve been eating a lot of that this week because I used all of my mac and cheese for the candlelight dinner we had haha.....

Valentines day was great.  Instead of a certain someone telling me I looked cute and that my eyes are pretty I had creepy 50 year old construction workers and truck drivers telling me... GREEAAATTT.   Hna Mckinley was pretty bummed that we were gonna be loners on Valentines day so she woke up refusing to accept that it was a holiday, but I told her not to be a grinch and that we were gonna make it fun... she refused and refused until I came up with the idea of a candlelight dinner with the only food we had (mac and cheese) so yeah it was a blast, we decorated with the random pink stuff we could find around the apartment and threw it all together with candles and it was AWESOME.  If I cant do fun things outside the apartment I sure as heck am gonna do the best I can to have a blast inside my apartment, so up next is a surprise breakfast for my comp on her bday this saturday.  

We also decorated Cecilia and Maria Eugenias house for their birthdays this week, its crazy to see the difference a little kindness can make, just last week she was bashing on missionaries and then this week she was receptive and laughing and super nice, so service and thoughtfulness goes a long way!

Well, out of time,

Chau!

For valentines day we gave each other chocolates (mom and dad I decided if you weren´t here to give me chocolates that I´d surprise all the others and do it so I spent like 10 bucks or so on that)
