so explain to me how this makes sense, for p.day last week of all the things we could´ve done we chose to go for a 2 hr walk. hah cuz obviously we don´t walk enough ever day. yeah so we´re crazy but it was beautiful so it was worth it.
i was getting a little too confident in my spanish abilities so i was once again humbled. we´re eating lunch with mamita and her husband and he asks me what i heard as ´´how many baptisms have you had?´´ so without any hesitation and in a very confident voice i answer ´´none´´ then i hear mamita ´´wow how optimisitic´´. yup, apparently he asked how many baptisms we´re going to have. haha, fail, not the best answer to that question.
district meeting is always the highlight of my week. this week it consisted of Hna Palma and i trying to teach the restoration while listening to my favorite coldplay song and being pelted with ping poing balls ever 2 seconds. the point of this was how can we teach with the spirit with all the distractions,....which i discovered is very difficult.
we had zone conference this week and i absolutely loved it! so we ate lunch with the mission president and all the missionaries. so i´m just eating and talking with people and this elder suddenly asks me if my sister lindsey left on her mission yet. so without really thinking i answer that she left before me and i just keep talking. literally 5 minutes later it occured to me that its a little strange that this elder who i didn{t know asked me about lindsey. (haha, i{m just a little slow). so i asked him and guess what? Its Elder Solomon (aka, the YPM...the only YMP i didn´t know). so yeah, that was random but i got to talk to him for a while.
so we desperately need new investigators so we{ve been walking a ton, knocking on doors and contacing in the street. its kinda difficult to find people to teach. but somehow i´m loving every minute. you know, its a talent to be able to laugh at yourself when you mess up or when people reject you or other unfortunate things happen, and its a talent i thankfully have (which is super good cuz stuff like that happens all the time to me. for example yesterday i literally took 2 steps out of our gate and managed to step in a puddle of green paint (how, i have no idea) and now i{m gonna have green shoes the rest of my mission, hah, that would happen to me (don´t worry mom its not bad the shoes are still good)). but seriously its important to just laugh things off and be happy. that was the point of all that. Happiness is by choice not chance! (thank you Ashcrafts that is my theme in life now)
well i love you all, take care, have an amazing week. and just keep smiling no matter what happens!
