Super super great week!!!! Not
to brag or anything but guess who made it in the top 8 companionships in the
mission for this week? Yep, US! But even though numbers are just numbers
we still had 6 people at church on Sunday, which is SOOO awesome because for the
past 4 weeks we've only had 1 person come.
But anyways, this week the whole M.. family (including the dad which is
a really big deal), and this guy we found named Fabian who is this 23 year
old ambulance driver who was baptized in Ecuador when he was little, but then hasn't
been to church in like 10 years. He is super awesome! He just found us and said that he wants to
come back to church, and relearn all of the lessons! And then an older guy, who
only likes to talk about his kidney stones also came.

This week we were pretty
much sick
of everyone telling us that they were going to do things and then not doing
them, so Sister Black found this awesome scripture (Col 3:23-24)
that basically says "Don't do these things because we are telling
you to. Do it for God!", and
it worked! We seriously saw so much progress in ALL of our investigators
this week. Sometimes being bold is scary..especially in Spanish, when I don't
even know how to be polite yet...but it works.
Funny story: Last week it was
the end of the month so we had basically 0 miles left on our car, so we figured
that now would be a good time to put our bikes together...Dad I seriously took
you for granted! I don't even know if I
deserve to call myself your daughter anymore! It took us like 40 minutes
just to figure out how screw on the wheels and hook up the chain, and then just
when we thought we were done we remembered about the brakes. They were beyond both of us! So we
decided to take an adventure through da hood and take them to an awesome less
active family, the H.. family, because the dad is a super "fix it"
type. He kind of reminds me of you dad,
except he's Mexican and has way more swag;)
Basically just picture the 2 of us white girls walking our bikes that
both have flat tires, in our skirts, weaving though like 3 different gangs who
were all out jumping around with their pants falling off their butts! I don't
get why that's fun..? We looked a little out of place. So then we
finally get there and he fixes our brakes in like 2 seconds..embarrassing. But then he says we has an air compressor so
we can pump up our tires in like 2 seconds. The next thing we hear is a
huge BOOM (it was Sis Black's tire if
you didn't catch that). I've never seen a Mexican turn red in the face
before, but it was sooo funny! So then while he went in and tried to find
something to replace it, we invented a really fun game with the kids where you
put bike helmets on your face and then punch each other as hard as you can! I would definitely recommend it:)
