Reason to be here 2-05-18

This week was super great! We worked soo hard and found a bunch of people, and I'm convinced that they are the reason for why I'm here. We found 2 families this week.

One is a grandma, her daughter, and her granddaughter (Cristina, Alejandra, and Ana). Ana was diagnosed with a Bipolar disorder not too long ago, and the family is now ready for the restored Gospel. They are super interested, and we got to visit them cause I started talking with Alejandra outside of a store one day randomly. 

The other family is Lizbeth, with her two daughters Quetzalli (which means precious), and Leilani. They are just the cutest two girls on earth. They both made me a drawing on our first visit there and want to be tall like me when they grow up haha. The two girls LOVE the Gospel, the 3 of them normally go to a Baptist church, but Lizbeth made it clear that she is not a member of that church, and her only focus is finding the church that gets her closest to God. 

We also found an awesome super dope family that is just starting to become less active, and I feel like we found them right at the perfect time to get them back into church. If they come back to church and don't fall away like their path was taking them,everything here will have been worth it. 👍

We also found some other peeps, but I will wait until next week to talk about them.

An investigator came out and told us we were from the Devil cause we didn't believe in the Holy Ghost. And that we worship Joseph Smith naked in our secret temples, and that we go baptize dead people there at night. We're not even gonna try to go back. 😂😶

I was walking down the street and a little chihuahua lookin thing yapped at me on the other side of a fence. So I said "oh no! a Rottweiler!"🐕 and bent down to say hi to the dog WHEN A ROTTWEILER CAME OUT OF nowhere and tore down the fence cause it wanted to eat me so bad. Luckily it was chained up. so i am still alive. 

Like I said in my picture caption in the other email, they took out the Sister missionaries from our neighboring area so now we attend 3 wards' meetings every sunday. If you can't handle 1 3-hour block, try 3. 😴

Never have I experienced more temptation than yesterday when I saw the Super Bowl on in a members house. I got out all right 💪🏈

1. this picture is awesome because everyone there has been trained by elder Rosales! (the short one, almost right in the middle). he trained me and 3 others, we trained, our trainees trained, and so on. my mission family is huge!!!

2. i mean it technically wasnt really my baptism, but the two kids were in a neighboring area and the missionaries were pulled out this week, so we took over for them and baptized the two kids. the little girl is named Sophia, and she is SO sweet.
