Week 41 - Birthdays and Mother's Day

Our zone with Elder Duncan last week
Happy Birthday Mom and Erik!!

Hope it was super great! Elder Lopez and our cook had birthdays this week, so we threw a little party for them Friday night. Then Saturday was Mother's Day so we went around all day wishing people a happy Mother's Day. Felt weird because Mother's Day already passed for me, but it was fun. A little bummed I didn't get to call home though haha.

Well this week was a pretty good one. On Monday we found a super sweet family with one of the chubbiest babies I have ever seen. I'm not kidding, he's like the dough boy but 5 times chubbier. They're a super nice family, planning on getting baptized in September. Also one of our recent convert families gave us fish for dinner. But not like a filet, an actual fish, eyes and everything haha it was really good though! The eyes were a little gross but hey it was something new.

On Tuesday we did divisions with the district leader in Limon. His companion came to work with me in our area and that was interesting. I'm still not completely familiar with everything so I got lost twice, but it led to finding some new investigators so like a champ I just played it off like I knew what I was doing haha.


Wednesday, more divisions and found some super great families.

Thursday we had a lesson with one of our newer families which turned into a disaster. We were super excited about teaching them and then it just went all wrong. Not really sure what happened, they just all of the sudden asked some questions and got super off track and then the lesson didn't make much sense and they got really confused. And they went and bought us something to eat after and brought iced tea, which made everything worse haha. 

Friday was super fun. Had some solid lessons in the morning and then that night we had a little party for Elder Lopez and our cook. We all chipped in to buy a cheesecake, which I was super excited for. It turned out being basically hardened yogurt though.... super disappointing. But it was fun to celebrate.

Saturday, Mother's day. Really good day.

Sunday - it was a miracle. We left early to go pick up some investigators for church. By about 8:30 they had almost all cancelled but when we got back to the church there were 4 investigators already there and halfway through sacrament meeting 4 more showed up. Then we finished the day with some really good lessons.

Well love you guys all so much! Have a super great week!
