Hola hola! It has been a fun week and we've been able to stay pretty
busy! It got kinda dead close to the
weekend because everyone was so busy with the 4th of July. There were fireworks
for a little bit but then it started to rain. We had a good time with the
package that you sent mom! We had glow stick wars!! You have 3 lives and you
throw the glow sticks at each other. Yes, we know how to use toys properly
haha. Thanks for the entertainment!!!
On the 4th the elders had a baptism. We helped A LOT haha! I made
brownies and bought cookies, learned a few songs the day of to play at the
baptism, and we also gave the missionary moment! We were asked about 10 minutes
before hand and we couldn't practice because I had to play piano. The elders
only had a day notice of the baptism change though which was hard, but it all
came together super well! The Burrolas from El Dorado are friends of the family
and they were there!! Super cool to see them again :)
Let's see....we had 7 less actives at church yesterday!! And 2
investigators :D We are super excited
for them! The Tapias came to church to hear our special musical number. With
the baptism and everything it didn't end up so bad! I really want to get back
into the piano when I get home when I have time to practice haha. There is a
member of the branch who I'm going to start teaching how to play this week.
Reminds me of when I was teaching Sam how to play :) Those were the days!
So our investigator Ramond said that if we are going to teach him about
Jesus then he gets to teach us how to box. SO we went to the boxing gym this past
week! The next day I really couldn't feel my arms haha. The boxing coach there
says I have great potential. We had to hit the punching bag for one drill as
many times as we could in a minute and I got 241! He said that's better than
his current student so...mom, I'm going to drop out of college and go into
boxing. Thoughts? Haha. COMPLETELY
kidding. But it is good exercise for the moment!
We've been working hard and seeing miracles! The area is going great and
Hermana Garcia and I are doing really well :) thanks for all your love and
support!
I was really sad to hear about President Packer's passing, but glad to
hear that he finally getting to rest! All I could think about was his awesome
poem from Conference a few years back: https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/04/these-things-i-know?lang=eng
He will be greatly missed!
Love you all so much!! Talk to you next week! Have a fantastic time on Trek
:) take lots of pictures!!

Trying on Sister
Dorsey's heels. We decided I walked like a new born giraffe haha!!
Found a dead mouse
and the elders had to come and save us haha!
Found a baby cardinal with a hurt wing. We saved him and
gave him to a member to take care
of him.

Virginia named her after me haha!
