A week of service!

Well last week was a little different. One of the members here in our ward got a notice of eviction a few weeks ago, so we kept going by to see how we could help them, and hoping they knew we were serious when we told them to call when they were moving, so we were so happy when they actually called last week so that we could help them! Also during that move I realized just how lucky we are to have the life we have. Because we were packing stuff and moving it out and their were COCKROACHES....EVERYWHERE! It was insane I don't know how people can live the way they do, sometimes, also us and the other missionaries and 2 other people were the only people to help so we were there all day because we just had 1 truck. However I was grateful to help and get some service, since there is not much service to do here.

Then came my birthday and it was great, I had 2 cakes that day one with the other missionaries and one with the investigators they planned it as a surprise. Our investigators are the best! Also the tradition is that you have to bite the cake, and when you do that someone pushes your head so you get frosting all over your face, it's a funny tradition, I think I'll keep that tradition.

Then we had a chance to help the elders and we moved another family, but that was much easier because it was from one to another in the same apartment complex, it was soo great!

Also this week we had Zone conference! I love zone conference! Seriously our president is so inspired! I really learn a lot each time he teaches, so it is really exciting. It was in Spanish this time, so it was good, to learn more Spanish. I always feel soo inspired after we meet with him.

We also had a lesson with Arnulfo our investigator this week, in which we finished teaching him everything, however the crazy thing is that he works everyday, and so he had a 2 hour break on Saturday, so we went to his work, and taught him in the back of Burger king. It was slightly random, but that's how much he is prepared, but he only has thanksgiving and Christmas off for the rest of the year. It's sad because he has a desire to come to church, but he literally is working all the time now! But I believe in Miracles! The faith must be tried first though.

I got to go to a baptism this week also of a little girl from my English ward. Leo, who got baptized while I was there baptized her. It's so cool to see a convert be able to use the priesthood. It was a sweet experience.

Also our mission President came to our ward yesterday, and he spoke and then while he was there we asked about how to help our investigators and he really inspired us, and it was so good, to have that inspiration. Truly i feel like one of the reasons I'm here in this mission is so that I can know President Becerra!

Well that's all here this week! Transfers are this week, so we'll see if President decides to change things with me again. Who Knows?

Love, Hermana Love
