Wow the weeks are going by so fast! Mondays just keep coming and coming, Time really is something precious because once that time is gone you are never going to get it back. But I wouldn't want to be spending this time I have right now anywhere else but here on the mission.
So this past week was kind of rough. I felt like every week that has gone by we keep inching up this big hill , but we keep getting farther up every week... except this week. I feel like we had a minor slip and inched back down a bit but I am not worried. This is a new week and we have new goals and we are determined to get back on track. There is a quote that I really like by Richard G Scott, "To reach a goal you have never before attained you must do things you have never before done." That has been on my mind this past week and I know that it's something that is going to help me out all throuhgout my mission because usually, from my own experiences, when you feel that you are in a rut its because you are doing the same thing over and over again but are not seeing any results.
We have a couple of really good families that really want to be baptized but they are not married! The marriage thing takes forever here especailly if they are not Spaniards and its a bit discouraging for the families because then they get lazy about the whole process so we have to keep reminding them and encouraging them to keep going. Its like we are wedding planners! and psychologists and missionaries all at the same time. Ha. But I really am loving it here! Today with the Elders we ate at Burger King... it was alright. I definetely dont miss it, but it was a very american experience. Oh happy 24th of july everyone!
The elders had a baptism this weekend. They baptized this African Lady and I gave the batism/Holy Ghost talk. She was very very very happy afterwards. Hna. Blanco and I were in the bathroom after to hand her her towel and she started crying becuase she was so happy and then after when we were walking out I looked back and she was singing and dancing to herself in the mirror. It brought me so much joy to see how happy she was. The spirit was definetely present and testifying of the truth.
I love you all and hope you are all happy, safe and healthy!
Love, Hermana Hair
