"I´m super happy about Ester Fink and her progress! I just feel like we were friends in heaven haha but she is doing so well! she came to church again and is just doing what she needs to and being her awesome self! my comp and i are good! for a while it was kind of awkward cause even though we are both cool people, we don´t talk all that much haha but it´s getting better! we have fun moments and she is super cool!!!!! she was a little stressed for a while because of her ending her mission and all that, and I was a little stressed too, so i think we didn´t talk all that much for that reason too but ya, we are chill with eachother! We have some awesome moments juntos! also, i haven´t gotten sick again since my blessing! wooooooot! not even one stomoach pain! i have been completely FINE! how crazy is that?! wooot! go preisthood!!!
One of the updates i have is about the familia Bustamante (less actives). they wanted to get married the temple and so we were talking about their goal and how first they need to go to church to be able to even think about going to the temple and then we found out something else too that the hna (wife) doesn´t even have a testimony of the gospel! when we asked her if she had a testimony of this gospel she just straight out said no and we were like... what!?!? i don´t see how they think they can go into the temple if the wife doesn´t even have a testimony! so we are working with them to help them be more firm in the gospel and take little steps so they can reach their ultimate goal. lol wow, sometimes it just makes me think. but ya haha
Well my week has been super crazy!!! on tuesday we had an apostle come to talk to us!!!! Elder Nelsen and his wife! The talks they gave were sooooo amazing! She talked about how we are born with spiritual "lists" of what we need to do and remember here on this earth but sometimes they get lost or forgotten with all of the distractions around us. She talked about how we need to remember those lists and do everything that´s on them. we need to set our prioraties straight and if it´s not on the list, sometimes it´s not worth the time and effort. It was sooooo amazing! Then elder nelsen talked about missionary work and the real reason we are hear to help our heavenly family come back and enjoy the blessings of exaltation. He is actually a super funny guy and soooo cool! then at the end he gave us an apostolic blessing which was suuuuuuper cool! he was all like: i call upon the power of the preisthood keys which i how to bestow upon you an apostolic blessing and then he blessed our mission, us with health and protection, and our families it was sooooooo cooooooool! when he started saying it i was like: what is happening right now... this is soooo crazy!!!!! i don´t know how to explain it but it just felt like a lot of power in the room haha it was awesome!
Then, justo, on like saturday we got a call from one of our miemers that we work with and they told us that they had someone for us to teach who is completely ready for baptism!!!!! we were like... whaaaaaa?!? we have been praying to have a baptism together but we kind of started to lose hope because we haddn´t found anyone and it´s like 2 more weeks till transfers and till my comp leaves home so we were like, ya, it´s not going to happen but then yup, for sure it did! we talked with her sunday and she is soooooo prepared it´s not even funny! she had taken the charlas before and has had her answer that the church is true and she needs to get baptized. her sons are baptized but because of reasons unknow she couldn´t get baptised then but now she wants to! she litterally just falled into our laps! she has been going to church for 2 weeks now and has such an amazing testimony! i think the problem was, was that her husband didn´t want to get married but now, sadly, she is separated from him and living with her sister in law who is in our ward. and she is determined to get baptized! it was so cute! i asked her why she wanted to get baptized and she started bawling saying that she knows the church is true and because of that she wants to have an eternal family. she started talking about how her sons are everything to her and to be able to live with them forever would be the best gift she could ever recieve!!!! ahhhhhhh! so ya, the date is 29th of November after we have the capilla Abierta in our ward! Everyone will be there and the spirit will already be there so it worked out perfectly! and it´s 3 days before my comp leaves haha. it´s so crazy how it all worked out! all we have to do is give her the lessons again really quick and she´s off to baptism and temple! She is soooo amazing! i´m so happy that there are people prepared like this! but ya, that´s my amazing week! haha crazy right? right!?!? and i´m super excited because it was within my 6 month mark, so i will be able to go with her in the temple when she gets her endownmetns and everything!!!! wow, what a blessing!
The other day my comp and i friggin found a flippin trianchula in our pensh!!!!!! ok, maybe it wasn´t a trianchula but it was close to it! ok, look at your palm, that´s right, look how big it is, that´s how big the spider was, no joke!!!! i have the BEST videos of us trying to kill it! i´ll have to show you when we get home cause i can´t send videos sadly but ya, crazy stuff right there! we tried to kill it but we only wounded it with ant spray but we sprayed it a LOT so we didn´t know if it died a slow and painful death or if it just was wounded. but ya it ran back under the fridge! and so we basically locked off our kichen but after a while we would just walk in the kitchen with so much fear it was unreal! and then my comp was like: i can´t live in fear like this anymore haha so we looked behind the fridge and it was all curled up in a ball dead! yesssssss! but ya, that was a fun bonding experience haha but the pensioneros said that they would fumagate our house which is nice! :) but ya, that´s everything exciting haha.
