Irma...a stealth example of coming to Christ

Hey there yall!! :) ok not in Texas...hola mis amigos! Que tal?

So yet another week has come and gone.... news about the bike is that its getting easier?? idk i know that as soon as i say that something crazy is gonna happen to me porque es mi vida. but its actually been kind of fun to ride around on the bici...I'm already getting a foot tan from my shoes and riding so pretty sure by summer time its gonna be ridiculous and I've already lost 7 lbs in this last week of being on the bike and yet my legs are becoming rocks...biker legs man. no... man biker legs. yes that describes it accurately i think..

um so as for this week: Irma is still progressing and is one of my very best friends. she is seriously a stealth example of coming to Christ. she came to church on Sunday and on Saturday we taught her about fasting and fast offerings and she was so excited that she came to church and payed her fast offerings because she wanted to receive those blessings. We are also now teaching one of her sisters and her niece. and her birthday is on the 19th. this Tuesday. Her golden birthday and we've gotta figure something out to do for her since she doesn't really have anyone to celebrate it with except us.

Then we are teaching the galarza family and there is seriously so much potential with this family. There are so many ways that the gospel can bless and change their lives, the spirit in the home and just everything. they are in serious need of some church of Jesus Christ in their lives. and its really crazy how other peoples problems become your problems and how much you just so want to help them. The Lord is gonna perform some huge miracles here in this home i know it.

My companion is getting ready to go home and that puts an interesting twist on things as she is trying to say bye to everyone and I'm still trying to get to know everyone. There is a lot to do here and i really do have some big shoes to fill. but there is a reason if not multiple of them as why I'm here in the city. I feel it and I really do want to do the best I can the way that the lord wants me to do and I'm a bit nervous for when she leaves and I'm left to be big girl and know my way around. But the lord knows my imperfections and my weaknesses--part of which being directions and through him they can be made strengths! :)

Mom it sounds like the Easter pageant has been going really well. i wish i could be there to see you! :) and sounds like you are becoming quite the missionary yourself! :) missionary work is awesome isn't it?

and thank you for the package of skirts! that came at the perfect time that i needed new ones. These are seriously perfect for riding a bike and the red skirt...aka my Easter outfit is super cute I love it! :) 

oh how I love you all so much! hope this week goes well for you and if you can squeeze time in there for me write me a letter

paz y amor her-mayn-a maughan
