This week has obviously been crazy!

I got a UTI. Luckily it hasn't been painful I just have to pee almost every 5-25 mins. which makes missionary work way more interesting! It started on Saturday when all of the sudden I had to pee all of the sudden SO badly during KO. We went home right away and I almost didn't make it! We thought it was hilarious! Hna Giles was so disappointed I didn't actually pee in front of her but we were convinced that it'd probs happen at one point during our life long friendship together.....fast forward an hour later.....we're going to teach Angelica and all of the sudden I have to pee again. As we start walking to her house these dogs run out of her neighbors house straight for us!!!! We start screaming and sprinting away as fast as possible and they finally stop chasing us several houses later as soon as we reached Angelica's driveway where all of the sudden I'm standing in a pool of pee. They scared it right out of me! Hna Giles and I started crying we were laughing so hard. She made me sit in the back seat as we drove home. It was freaking hilarious!! Then on Sunday I almost peed again in front of like 15 people because Hna Giles was making me laugh so hard (she's the craziest/bestest person ever!!!) so we decided to call the Nurse and we went to the urgent care and now everything is better!! Ps I'm blaming Hna Giles for the UTI because she made me hold my pee during KO!! (Her defense it was only for 20 mins and we had a Laurel knocking with us and she's just so obedient! Bless her!)

Aside from peeing my pants, we also found 21 New Investigators!!! WHOO!!!

One of my favorite is this punk named Pablo! We had to leave KO early to meet with a goldmine family and as we were walking out of the trailor park we were knocking, we saw this guy standing on his porch with his headphones in looking at us. No one had answered his door earlier when we knocked it and after a few seconds the spirit was like what are you doing go talk to him! So we yelled at him across the street and asked if he wanted a card and he pulled out his headphones and said "You must be the Hermanas" What the?!!?!? Turns out Pablo has been to church a bunch of times in the past and almost got baptized a few years ago!!! He's the coolest!! We think he's hilarious and are pumped to start teaching him!!!

Another one of my favs is Esmereleda!!! She's just so beautiful and amazing!!! We found her while looking for our bap date (turns out it's her brother)! We started playing with her son and she invited us in and talked about how it was God's perfect timing. We sang her an himno and she showed us one of her favorite Spanish songs about God. She blasted it and the whole apt was shaking even though it was almost 9 and we were just jamming out with her and it was so awesome!!! I love latinos and their music and being a missionary!!

We went over to Hna Mejicanos birthday party! Her and her husband are recent converts and the whole ward showed up because they love her so much! The food was bomb!

We'd been craving elote for a few days and as we rounded a corner while looking for our bap date Juan, we found an elote man and him buying an elote!!! #blessings!!! We ate it as we taught him about the Book of Mormon and he kept pausing me to tell me that I had corn all over my face #whoops

Hna Giles spoke in sacrament meeting and I almost cried because I was so proud of her :,)

We ran into our punk inv Frankie on the street with his pals! He gathered everyone to listen to our message and they were cracking us up! All Frankie wants to do is smoke weed with us though soooooo we'll see how much longer we have teach him for! haha

The church was packed this past Sunday and it made me so happy!!! I love this ward and these people so much! I almost started crying when I realized that I won't be here forever :( transfers are next week and who knows what is going to happen!! Pray for me!

I love life!!!

con mucho amor
