This Week's Letter!

Oh and yeah the big mission president conference, I was in a recorrido of the temple when they all started coming out so I couldn´t stop and look at the tags to find mals president, but yeah elder ballard was supposed to be there too but his wife got sick so they couldn´t come, but hna mckinley saw the rogers and talked to them! I was so bummed I must have been in another part of the recorrido when they came out!

Spencer!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!! You are gonna do great!!!!! Are you competing in two events or only the written event? Agh let me know how it goes and I want pics!!!! I´ll be prayin for ya! Don´t forget to say prayers before each of your competitions it helps!!!

So fam, typical day for me:

7:30 Wake up, pray, excercise

8:00 Get ready, make breakfast, write in my journal if I didn´t do it the night before

9:00 Personal Study, read the scriptures, jesus the Christ, something like that

10:00 Comp Study, sing a hymn, pray, read the handbook, read the main points of one of the first three lessons, recite the first vision or missionary objectivo, share what we learned, plan a lesson/practice a lesson

11:00 many times we have district class or leave on divisions about this time if not then we do language study (many times we will practice english with my comp or I´ll read the book of mormon in spanish to better mark scriptures I like in my spanish triple so I can use them better in lessons)

12:00 Go out and start doing things! We almost always have someone specifically planned that we want to visit with 2 or 3 back up plans

1:30 Lunch with a member (or if not, lunch in the apartment when we finish studying for the day)

2:30 More visits, recorridos etc

8:00 (If we didn´t have lunch with a member sometimes we eat dinner)

9:00 (If we didn´t have language study because of something we will usually have it at 9)

10:00 Home, pray, plan

11:00 get ready for bed

11:30 Sleeping

But its not often that we have a typical day, like for example this was my day on saturday:

730 wake up and make and eat breakfast for hna As bday

830 get ready, clean up

930 recorrido

1100 recorrido

1230 Make a ton of calls

100 study a little

130 leave to lunch (walking)

215-230ish get to lunch

330 contact

400 walk back

430 a little more study waiting for a recorrido that came late

515 recorrido

615 recorrido

715 run as fast as you can to the other side of the sector for an FHE with a less active

800 get there and they forgot

830 meet up with a member and try to find some long lost investigators

900 walk home

930 finish a teeny bit of the studying that there wasn´t space for during the day

1000 plan

1130 lights out

Well, this week was pretty good we had divisions as usual and I went to "El Parque" With Hna Salazar from Mexico, I realized during one of the lessons, HOLY CRAP I speak spanish! It was wierd to think that Hna Salazar who I would consider a friend of mine could have a friendship, talk to each other, go teach the gospel etc all in a different language and that 6 months ago I wouldn´t have been able to understand a word everyone was saying.  Before having the friendships I have with people and all that wouldn´t have even been possible!!! CRAZY.

This week we also tried to work SUPER hard to have lessons with members, we ended up finally meeting our goal of 10 lessons with a member, I think thats been our goal for like 3 transfers hahaha BUT WE FINALLY DID IT!!! Its interesting to see how you guys got chewed out for not having enough people in the chapel mal! I don´t think there is any focus on numbers here, at least not from president. But this week me and my comp realized we were suuuper close to meeting our weekly goals on the daily indicators, so we worked our tails off and we ended up meeting almost every one of them! It was kinda fun! Like I realized how much more I can do if I actually do let myself think more about the numbers, it was interesting!

Oh side note.... so I´m not sure if the email has like key words that they block so I´m not going to use specific words (because for some reason it blocked my comps email that she tried to sent).  But I spent a bunch of money getting things ready for me and my comps emergency backpacks because president has been sending a tooooon of warnings and procedures in case of faults moving and causing the ground to shake (did you like how I didn´t use the word that I think the email blocks) so if anything were to happen, which president has been going crazy worrying about lately, I have an emergency backpack and so does my comp, so yeah I assume they just don´t want anyone to panic but yeah just if something were to happen its all good and we are being super careful and yeah.... just saying... 

Well, I have to go now but I love you all!!
