Well it turns out I am on a computer again that I don´t know where the question marks are:-).
Laura (the girl from Utah) and her family had us and an investigator over for dinner on Thursday! Well it was lunch, and then we had a lesson with our investigator Carlos and Laura´s niece and nephew. It was so tasty! I got a hot pumpkin pie, it was so good!
I have to keep reminding myself that the Lord wants me here, and that I need to constantly check and make sure I am doing the things that He wants me to be doing. Just make sure that you are doing the things that Heavenly Father would want to see you doing, and I know that will make you the person that He wants you to be. Remember how much you are loved by not only Him, but your family here as well! I can tell you though it is not going to be easy because Satan is going to work like crazy since you are trying to change for the better and do what is right. I only know because he is working like crazy on me! Scary thing is, is I know it is only going to get harder! Stay strong! Don´t give up hope, just work as hard as you can, keep smiling, and love.
Sounds like you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It was SO weird not to be at home! I had tortilla chips with cream cheese and salsa that day and thought you might be eating the same thing :-)
This week I did a 4 braid on myself! I can´t get the computer to load my pictures, so you´ll get lots next week and I will need to remember to take a picture of the braid. Also I did two french braids in my hair, I´m moving up a bit, haha!
Also we have been hearing wolves around here, and my companion keeps calling them woofs, it makes me laugh every time.
Cool story of the week, I had a rough day trying to figure out what to do with everything and we went to our cocinera´s house for lunch and she told me that she thought she needed to tell me and Hermana Treviño something. When she told me my part I cried of course. She told me she would never forget me because of the example I have been to her daughters. Her oldest daughter is 15 and I met them both my first day here. She told me that Maria Fernanda, the 15 year old after meeting me my first day was so shocked that it was my first day, and then told her Mom that because of me she wanted to serve a mission. I have a hard time thinking that I am doing anything to help anyone since I don´t know the gospel as well as I should or the language to communicate. That for me was an experience that meant a lot. It is also amazing that even though sometimes I ramble off words that might not make sense with how I said them the people still let us in. I know that it is only through the spirit that we get in to houses! No matter where you are in the world, if you speak the language or not, if the Lord has prepared them for you even prepared them for you to plant the seed, they will let you in. I can´t believe how important prayer is, and we are so blessed to know about it.
Who ever reads this, please think of questions you have, or changes you want to make, or just want to feel love, whatever it is, think of that and then read Moroni 10:3-5. Then sit there quietly thinking and pondering. I get to go to the temple tomorrow and couldn't be more excited! I love you all so very much, and I hope that you know that! I hope you all have a WONDERFUL week! To everyone that wrote to KC and I, I am working on letters back! Love you all!
