Oh man! what a week. I first off have to say sorry for not letting you know in advance that this week preparation day was changed to Tuesday due to it being presidents day and the libraries being closed. So here I am on Tuesday! weeeee! :)
On
the plans for today-transfer tradition bowling. I’m excited. I mean I’m awful
at it but it’s fun and my last one...soooo it’ll be good.
This
week things have been really good. Hermana Alvarez and I taught 26 lessons this
week and we were exhausted. man working hard is the best.thing.ever. It’s kind
of been a weird feeling this past week cause ultimately what I’m doing right
now is training Hermana Alvarez to train and also getting her to know the area.
and I’ve only got 5 weeks to do it. so we are constantly on the go. :)
Being
my last transfer we have created our 6 week bucket list--mind you things can be
changed, added or removed as we feel. these are not written in stone but they
are as follows:
1.
teach 10 lessons in one day2. teach 50 lessons in one week
3. Pday evening is ice cream date at a different place every week
4. Different exploring adventures every pday
5. Pictures taken daily
6. 5 baptisms

I said that’s it for now but it’s looking to be a great last transfer. i have
so much energy and just like BAM let’s go!!! :) it’s time to work!!!!!!! We
have been laughing a ton. mostly due to the crazy things that happen and seem
to follow me. Yesterday Hna Alvarez had to introduce herself to the zone as she
is new and she had to tell one thing she liked about her companion (being me)
and she said..."there is never a dull moment with Hermana Maughan."
and its super true. hahahaha ohhhh man. mom and dad idk if you’re ready for all
this crazy to come home. :) just a warning.
Lesson
I learned this week:
It’s
about time I learn the difference between left and right. We
were sitting in the car and Hermana Alvey was driving. I took off my shoes as
we were driving for a long time to get to our appt. well we finally get there
and I put my shoes back on and we start walking. I think to myself, "man
my feet feel funny." and i keep walking. trying to ignore this weird
sensation in my feet. but the feeling like won’t go away. I say
to myself, "now really why do my feet feel funny," as I look down at
my feet...."oh.no. Hermana Alvarez Look at my
feet." yes. I am literally losing my mind. I was wearing my
shoes on the wrong feet. A picture was automatically taken and the
laughter became unbreathable due to how hard we were laughing. So mom I
think back to the day that you had on two different shoes for the whole
day-----The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree :) like mother like daughter
eh? 
Miracles
seen this week:
Hermana
Alvey and I had an awesome lesson with Medalith this week--we brought a
member with us Giovana and she is the cutest 18 year old i have ever met and
she worked it in that lesson. we talked about receiving answers to our prayers
as Medalith has some doubts with Joseph Smith as to whether he was a
prophet or not. but we had an awesome lesson and addressed a lot of her fears
and doubts. At the end of the lesson we all kneeled together and each took
turns saying a prayer out loud asking for medalith to recieve and answer on
Jose Smith. the spirit was super strong :) and Medalith will receive her
answer and she will be baptized. I know it. I feel it. Ana--the most golden investigator EVER has headed back to Texas on Sunday to pick up her son. She will be there for anywhere from a week to a month :/ but I totally know she is going to be baptized. she knows it’s true and has felt and recognized the difference like instantly. She has to go back to Texas so her son and her mom can be baptized with her. Just like the things she says...."what do I need to do now to prepare for my baptism" how the Book of Mormon has changed her life already and that she wants more people to hear about it. this woman will be like a relief society president. I just wish i could see her get baptized. but God really does have a plan and its more divine than mine:)
Our recent convert Luis is solid and prepping to go on his mission. he and his cousin Analis came out with us on Sunday to do some fbi missionary finding ;p and we talked to Luis about his family...his mom has been inactive for years and he has two younger brothers ages 12 and 14 and they haven’t been baptized yet. but for the past 3 weeks they have been coming to church and i have been trying to set up appts with them but something always comes up and I really felt like I needed to wait until after transfers to go see them. well on our first day together Alvey asked me if there was anyone in our area who is already ready to be baptized and immediately this family popped into my head. and they have been there for days and days now. so Sunday we talked to Luis about them and he texted us later that night saying "hey I think I got awesome news. my bros want to get baptized but I can’t tell if they’re being serious about it though" he continued talking to them and they really do want to be baptized...we have an appt with them tonight and i feel a HUGE miracle coming on :) I’ll keep you posted. :)
Yesterday was zone meeting--my last one. that was weird. AND it was also my LAST interview with president--minus being in the mission home night. but it was one of the best interviews I’ve had with president. he gave me some really good consejo on the after of my mission and it like reconfirmed some of the other feelings and impressions I’ve received. everything is going to be awesome.
Be excited for these next few emails coming your way this month cause theys gonna be FILLLED with cool things :)
This work is awesome! I love it! and I hope you all have a fantastic week!!!!! :) se cuiden!
paz y amor,
Hermana Maughan
