Hey Fammmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! So we just got done playing some soccer and I must say that I still have my power kick as good as ever. I kicked it so hard today and totally broke a window in the church hahahhahaha. It was kind of an awkward experience but now I can officially say I have broken a window with a ball. 

So we just had a ROCKSTAR week this past week!!!!!!! We pulled some numbers that I have never seen before. We decided at the first of this week that we were just going to go crazy and expect miracles and the lord provided. To end the week we have 11 dates for baptism, 10 Inv that came to church and 20 New Investigators, were feeling super good right now and the lord is just raining down his blessings. We just have to change the mindset of the missionaries here and get them to realize that they can do so much more and should expect so much more. We feel like little by little we are getting the missionaries focused on that they are here to baptize!

So last Sunday me and a secretary were working together and we were just looking for miracles and new investigators and found a guy who was drinking a little. I decided to contact him and he expressed to us the desire he had to stop drinking and to have a better united family and God in his life. We set an Apt. and went back and visited him on Tuesday. We got there thirty minutes late and he was right in his house waiting for us and we had a very powerful lesson with him and put a date for baptism. The next day we visited him and his wife was there to and we taught the restoration and put a date with her. Then the next day there son was there to and we taught the Book of Mormon and put  a date for him. We passed by for them yesterday and they were waiting outside for us, all dressed up in church clothes ready to go to church and they just absolutely loved it. The dads name is Miguel Angel and his wife is Carla and there son is named Miguel too (typical Mexico) They look like they have been members for there whole lives and we are soooo excited for them. 

We also had 5 other new Inv. come to church for the first time but I have to write fast so Ill make sure to tell yall about them the next time. Francisca and Fernanda went out of town so they were not able to attend but hopefully all is still well.

Saturday night we were walking in the street after a good day and it just hit me how much im going to miss the mission. Its truly amazing and is the best thing that I could have done in my life. I just love to watch people change and look as this Gospel blesses the lives of them. My comp told me yesterday that we have less than 100 days left before we go home. I feel great about what Ive done this far in the mission and know there is still so much time and so many more lives to bless. I just hope when i come home that I feel like I left it all here. 

Were getting the wards support here little by little as they have seen that people have been coming to church. On Saturday the young men did a mission activity and were able to come with us for 2 hours and we were able to go on 4 way divisions. Hopefully we can get refs someday from them!

So our house situation is finally getting resolved. Were actually going to move into our new house right now. So our old landlord told us we had to be out last Tuesday of the house where we were living and our new house still wasnt going to be ready so we have been living 6 of us in  the secretary's house hahahha. It has been pretty crazy in a little house with 1 bathroom but its been pretty fun but were ready to get to our house here today woo woo

The mission is getting super excited for E. Oaks on Saturday. The south mission will be hosting it so it will be a little weird seeing all of them. We have been practicing our special musical number so that we can bring the spirit ha. President is leading and good thing hes nice cause im just a flat  out terrible singer. We have changes in 2 weeks and 2 of the secretarys will be leaving so there replacements came in today to get trained. 

Thats about it fam. Life is so great and I am so blessed. I love you guys so much and am so grateful to be a missionary.
