Same Old Awesome Week!

Well. lets see whats going on here? Haha just the same old same old. But its awesome and Im loving it. I really feel so truly blessed to be in this sector at this time. As I do divisions I just see how blessed I truly am to be working with so many awesome people and to have such an awesome ward. Seriously these people are like my family I love them to death. 

So there are 2 weeks left of the transfer and we are working hard to make it a really great last two weeks for hermana orton. Im sure gonna miss her we have so much fun laughing all the time. Ive never had a companion that Ive gotten along better with so itll be sad to see her go. But we will be going to byu at the same time so we will be seeing each other lots (mom and dad Im gonna send her with a USB with pics also I already volunteered your help to find her a good mac on ksl and to help her learn how to do family history haha) 

So this week we lost una fecha bautismal but honestly I was really happy about it. Omar was gonna get baptized this next saturday but we talked to him and he told us that he wants to get baptized as a complete commitment to God and be absolutely sure that he is doing it forever so he asked to have an interview with the bishop to help him understand a few things and so that he can get a second opinion and that he will decide his date this week. I was really happy because sometimes you teach people and you just hope and wonder if they really understand the importance of this covenant they are making but after talking we could see that he really does and that he really desires to make that covenant with God and be absolutely faithful to it for the rest of his life. I was so proud. Haha I think I told you guys about his Gym buddy Luis that is getting baptized too right? So this wednesday they planned to go to the gym together and then the Elders english class and then to see the bishop together. Haha its pretty fun and cute to see how excited he gets about having a friend to do everything with him. So please pray lots for Omar so he can choose a good date for baptism. He is the sweetest. 

We keep fasting a lot. I cannot even express how much I am learning to love it. SOOOOO MANY MIRACLES come from it. 

Hmmmmmm what else.... Oh yeah! Elder Nelson is coming next monday! That will be awesome. It will be a cool last pday for hna Orton. Hermana Altamirano (my trainer) would be leaving but she was able to extend a month to be able to go to the temple with Cleber to get his endowments. So we are reeeaaaaalllly excited for that. Its gonna be great. 

I really love this work. I love being a missionary and I love everything that Im learning day to day. 

This week I was thinking about mistakes that Ive made in my life and in the mission. Nothing big but just things like the other day when I should have called someone but I didnt. Or when I wish I would have shared that scripture, or loved that person more, etc etc. And sometimes thats frustrating because I cant go back and change it or fix it but as I thought about it I was just sooooo grateful for a savior that made it possible for me to mess up. I dont need to freak out when I do something wrong or when Im not perfect. (For those that know me well they can tell that Im a bit .... or a lot..... of a perfectionist) I can just be grateful that God made it possible for me to keep going when I mess up. Im so glad that he has so much patience with me and that he helps me every day to be better, to learn through trials, to help me feel loved when I get down on myself etc. Im so grateful that Christ was willing to pay for my errors so that I dont have to be perfect all at once. Because of Him we have a whole life in which to improve and mess up and repent and trust in the Lord. Im so glad that He can take me weak imperfect state and make me something so much better. :)

Well I have to go. But I love you all and cant wait to hear from you next week. 

With love

Hey Everyone! The mission now wants all letters and packages and stuff sent to this address (before it was like a po box and now the post office is talking the stuff straight to the mission office) I assume all stuff that was already sent will still get to me.... lets hope. But yeah from now on this is the address to use. (Mom if you could change that on my blog thatd be GREAT.

Decorating Isidoras (our investigator thats 14 years old) room with positive notes and a one direction book.

We dressed up as each other for halloween. Lots of the members of the ward had a pretty good laugh. We even did each others hair and makeup. 

Coming back from concilio de liderazgo. Its the big rich part of the city where they have cool address numbers.

 Recorrido with Omar.
