Happy New Year

Curtis and Mindy! Addilyn is so beautiful!!!!!! i feel super weird right now cuz i don´t know why but i just started crying when i saw the picture of curtis and the baby so now everyone  in the room´s wondering why i´m crying.  she´s just so beautiful :) i need details por favor! 

so Happy new year! it was an interesting start to a new year. we woke up to a small pond in our kitchen.  i´m thoroughly convinced we´re going to return home one night to find our whole house has collapsed. its just one problem after another, our house is dying and the elders are convinced that i just break everything i touch. (i´ve turned into lindsey! ;)  and it didn´t help that as they´re telling me this when they came over to help with our pond problem i leaned against the part of our gate that wasn´t broken and there was a huge cracking sound.  poiont proven. haha

it was a bit of a discourageing week. its super hard to see people who are just so stubborn, who won´t open their hearts to listen to our words.  carmen luz has absolutely no desire to listen or accept anything we say and her husband javier is a member and it breaks my heart everytime we teach them. he´s trying so hard to be strong but she just shoots down everything he says.

oh so awkward experience of the week:  we´re walking to an appt and started walking with a mom and her teenage daughter. so we started talking about the church. i told them we´re missionaries of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and the mom´s all ÿeah i know the church my brother is a member¨ and the daughter told me she´s evangelista.  so we talked for a while and they were super receptive so i invited them to be baptized and the daughter´s all ¨well i was baptized into the mormon church¨ .....this is one of the moments when i wish there were a wall to bang my head against.  yeah both of them are members but haven´t been to church in who knows how long.  so i had to explain that the ¨mormon church¨and the ¨church of jesus christ¨ are the same.  haha, super awkward. i guess i need to be a little more clear what church we´re from so i don´t go around inviting members to be baptized.

well it was another super fast week. time is flying. cambios are next week but its almost certain i´ll stay here cuz i still have 6 more weeks as a trainer for hna Rhees.

i love you all!  please send more pictures of addilyn!
