hey familyyy!

This week was very good with some crazy stuff too!!!!

hahah first off on tuesday i went on an exchange with elder alfaro. we were in a trailer park becuase we have 2 potentials/investigators there and neither of them were home so we started walking around and this guy with out his shirt waved us over and we started talking (its obviously this man is wasted...) he keeps asking us for help and how he wants to change. we just simple explained who we are and what we do and that we'd love to come back later when he isn't drunk. then he starts telling us how he feels the spirit with us and then hahaha he closes his eyes and puts his index finger by the temple of his head and really starts to concentrate and then opens his eyes suddenly and says "i see your church!!!!...and....i see you!!! (pointing to elder alfaro) thank you!!!! thank you!!! you are the man! i need you!" then hahah he grabs his hand and starts kissing it and bowing to him hahaah. we were both trying to hard to not crack up laughing hahaah!!!! then we were finally able to leave and he was jumping with joy becuase he felt the spirtit he said!!! so funny. so we are going back just to see if he really does want help.

on monday we went to the zoo! it was really fun. we rode the subway up and on the way back elder phillips got stuck in the subway door!!! haha half his body was in half was out! everyone is just looking at him in horror (we were all froze haha) he was able to pry it open a little bit then he jumped in but he caught his right foot!!!! hahahaahah!! then finally a lady and me coem to grips and run over to open it! i was surprised how hard it was t oopen haha! honestly it was one of the funniest things i've seen!!! hahaha it makes me laugh jsut thinking about it!

the other day we had a lunch with a part member family and we cam e out to leave and our car was gone............towing got us...no!!!!!!!! it was terrible. so we both had to pay...so if you wonder why i took out some money from the zions bank card thats why :(

yesterday we had the great opportunity to go to the temple with a member and his aunt who isn't a member...yet!!! it was such a great experience. even though we weren't in the temple the spirit is still sooo strong. and it honestly takes away all of our burdens. we are care free when we are in the presence of God! So go to the temple weekly! ;)

everything else is going really good as well! still working hard to get some of our investigators to progress and come to church but all is well.

this morning we had an appointment with one of the youth who goes to the navy tomorrow. we talked for a little bit shared some scritptures and then we gave him a blessing and i had the privilege to do it. it was one of the msot beautiful blessings i've been apart of!  i remember the words coming to me and just thinking wow... the spirit was strong. i got chill bumps!

i'm glad the family is all doing well! and having a lot of fun! sadly not as much fun as you have as a missionary! ;)  i'm loving this! its so great. eldre moodie and i were talking how even though its honestly the best thing ever, we are drained 24/7 haah!!! i could fall asleep anywhere. i fell asleep in the car ride to the temple! it was nice :) haha

so if i understand correctly i only take half a pill on sunday and then every other day i take one? or everyday i take one? hmm well i'll figure it out!

this week shouild be good. next week is transfers! we are getting 8 new spanish elders! the work is growing!

love ya'll

con amor
