hey hey alls yall out there!
so yet another week! time is seriously just flying and yet feels so long at the same time you know? but things here in the city are ahhh-mazing. i dont even know where to begin with everything this would be so much easier if 1. i could just talk on the phone, and 2. didnt have atime limit on the computer :/ but oh well well see what i can do here...
biggest thing this week we are now on bikes! AHHHHHH!!!! its sooo scary! and really there is alot to pay attention to which is hard for me to focus sometimes. but you first off have all the parked cars that are on your right and you dont know if someone is just gonna boom! open their door and basically your a gonner. then there are all the crazy fast and rather reckless drivers that are on your left who are usually going like 15 miles over the speed limit at least and one small move and boom biker out! then you have to worry about hand signals and im so nervous i can barley balance on the bike with two hands let alone take one hand off the handle bars to signal. then there is the skirt. and boy oh boy do i wish that there would be dress code exception to those sisters on bikes to be able to wear professional dress pants..skirts get caught in the brakes fly everywhere or just plain ride up your legs.. and add grochery bags full of freshly bought food on the handlebars and boy oh boy are you in for a treat! ;) but its all good fun. my legs are sore as heck and wobbly now as the scarecrow from wizard of oz..we seriously in one hour biked 8 miles. so im just hoping i get adjusted to this sooner!
next biggest thing- we have an ivestigator who is awesome! her name is Irma and shes 18 with 2 little girls and she is just an awesome example of repentance and really putting her life in the lords hands and trusting him. she has a bap date of april 23 and miracles happen with her everyday we see her. we taught about Alma the younger and how he repented and was able to come closer to God and the power of repentance and change. well she called us the other day and told us that "if Im going to change my life then I also need to change my friends." she stopped going to the parties with her friends, told them she needed better ones and deleted them all from facebook. and then when we left our appt yesterday she told us that she was going to take out all of her (newly put in) body piercings in her tongue and chin because she just felt like they were unneccesary! we didnt even have to talk to her about them! God is just amazing how he prepares people. I LOVE MISSIONARY WORK!!
third biggest thing conference=everything i needed. i love how that works dont you? conference is seriously one of my favorite things in the whole world. the words of the prophets and other counslers of the church. what great blessings we receive when we follow this work.
and im sorry I cant really write everything i want to do to time. but went to franks house last week and that was SO FUN! oh so cool! like I cant even describe it! DAD WE ARE GOING BACK THERE because seriously so awesome. ill be sending my memory card back home pretty shortly so that you can see the pictures..plus it made it kind of basically full. today we went to the john hancock building and had lunch there and then went shopping a bit around downtown. and there is just so much to do here in the city i just wanna soak all of it up i can!
so i love you hope you have a great week!
paz y amor
