Well this week...sadly we didnt get to work that much.. we had the training with president in Juarez then we had the Stake Conference saturday and sunday so we were running all over Chihuahua haha. But ill get to that in a sec. Thanks for keeping me and the families and everyone in your thoughts and prayers. They are really so helpful and i love them. And tell Jenna thanks for fasting as well!! what a boss. I love her! And tell sarah congrats on the play!! that doesnt surprise me at all!! She is a beast as well. Im sure she will do great. as usual. And also to andrew congrats on asking the girl to homecoming!!! beast mode as well!! hahaha thats what im talking about. Oh man good stuff i wanna hear all about it! when is his homecoming?
Ive also been emailing parker to encourage and excite him as well.
But yea to answer some of your questions we had some pretty good food this week...lets see... we had some super super good tacos this week with like a green salsa with pieces of pineapple and idk but it was fantastic. and it was with carne de puerco oh man and the sister who sends you photos made us some amazing tortas but yesterday they gave us pure beans and rice and coleslaw and cold it was tough to down and it was heavy haha but the family was nice to give us food.. :) I think i like the food better here than in Juarez
Anyways as i said we went to Juarez for the training and i think President likes us now haha hes a beast he should for sure be a General Authority soon. Hes super smart and hilarious. Wetook the 4 hour bus ride both ways so..that was boring but i caught up on some sleep i needed. i havent gotten the packages yet...i should get them the 19th when president comes again.. haha
But yea as i said this week we were running all around super busy and everything... none of the families went to the stake conference because they said it was to early :/ yea so this week we are gonna go hard in the paint and see what we can do.We are praying for them.
But anyways we had the stake conference this week like i said was sick! The presidency was reorganized so a general authority came!! It was Elder Benjamin De Hoyos from the first quorom of the 70. He was super powerful and i got to talk to him for a little. But yea so i went and translated on saturday and sunday morning. But up on the stand there is like a little excluded hidden area where there is a sink for the sacrament and music and stuff and we were back there hidden and we had a little antenna thing and we had our headsets and whatever was said into the microphone we heard and then we talked into the mouthpiece and then there were people in the congregation that had headsets and they would see the speaker but would hear our voices haha. So we were up there getting ready and we peaked out before it started and saw a bunch of people with the headsets and we were like perfect haha they arent gonna understand anything thanks to us haha we were pretty nervous. I had been practicing for a few weeks and all but yea. The guy who asked us to do it came up to us and told us that the gift of interpretation of tongues exists as well so we prayed and we did it and it was actually sick!!! It was fun and i got pretty good at it too!! I mean at least we didnt hear any complaints until now haha but i really enjoyed it and i could acutally feel my mind being quickened and everything and i translated Elder De Hoyos talk on saturday and sunday! He spoke for like half an hour haha.
But yea that was my week!! Hoping this week goes better!! I know it will! Today we have the zone conference so imexcited for that as well!! Keep the faith!! #GoHardInThePaint #GeneralConferenceNext #TommyMonsonCallMeUp
No misfortune is so bad that whining about it won’t make it worse. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come.”
