Time flies...

Hello!!

i found this pumpkin today.
I am the just about the same shade...
i need to get some sun in my life! haha!

 It is crazy how fast time goes! i feel like i was JUST writing a letter to you all! Time flies so fast it is crazy! This has been a good week, kind of slow but it’s okay because it has been lined with small miracles and tender mercies. 

 We have been working with this less active family in our ward lately. Every Tuesday we get together and read from the book of Mormon.  Last time we went over she fed us some yummy El Salvador food! Food and the Book of Mormon, how can you not be happy! Ha ha! We have been trying to get them to come to church for the past 2 transfers and it was one of the greatest moments ever to see them walk into the chapel yesterday!! They finally came!! Man I was beaming from ear to ear! I love these people and I’m so grateful that they are willing to learn more and strengthen their testimonies. The mom, Sister Perez, said she got Sundays off work so she and the whole family could start coming!! Sister Morris and I were practically dancing about it as we left the chapel! Small miracles, they are the best ones :)

 We have this goal in our companionship to use the book of Mormon more in our contacting approaches. We got the itch to do it after Elder Nelsons talk from conference. We are talking to people about Christ’s ministry in the Americas and it is cool to start off like that because people can understand it more and they get excited about it! I love it! It is a testament to me that conference is divinely inspired :)

 On Friday we had a ward potluck. We have had them quite often in the past but this one had an amazing turn out! Ever since the wards combined there has been a real sense of unity and lots of people have been participating!  There was 100+ there!! So good :) Sister Morris and I were in charge of the games. We played Minute to win it games and it was a blast. I have come to realize I’m a lot like my wonderful dad when I get a mic in my hand :) ha ha! Lots of less actives, part member families, and returning members came which was so good!!! Over all it was a good night!

Fridays potluck and the minute to win it games!

 That’s pretty much all of my highlights for the past week. Every day we check on people and try to find people who will allow us to teach. I am so grateful to be here serving the Lord. I am grateful for the hard times that come. They make me grow and become a better child of God. I am so grateful for the many blessings I see. I have tried to look for the small things and point them out as blessings. Being able to wake up at 6:30 and not fall asleep again, blessing. Having the creepy men around the corner leave, blessing, not getting attacked by all the massive dogs, blessing. Ha ha really though all these things are blessings, the Perez family coming to church, being able to worship how i want to in this country, having the Book of Mormon, my family, this calling. Everything blesses me. I am so thankful for all of you and the support you give me! I love you all! I love this gospel. The church is true!!!

sister Morris and I are in the crafting mood lately...P-day :)
