Time is Flying!

3/5/12

So this week has flown! when people told me that the time in the
mission field flies, they weren´t joking! this next week is my last
week of the transfer! if you dont know how transfers work, there are 6
weeks in one transfer and we have a total of 16 transfers in the
mission so im already almost done with one! dang! so this week we had
2 progressing investigators come to church for the 2nd time and it was
really good to see them there because this lady really loves the
gospel and we´ve been working with them for a long time! the only
problem is that she keeps getting really sick so she could never come
to church and we even had to teach her sometimes while she was lying
in bed but we gave her a blessing and things are going a ton better! i
dont think people realize how strong priesthood authority really is
until you are placed in a position to give a blessing and you can see
the peace come over the person that you are blessing! wow talk about
an experience! but anyway this upcoming Saturday we are going to have
3 baptisms so im super excited for that one! too bad i dont have a
camera! haha well i'll figure something out! so today we went to the
city for our P day and we went to the mall! the mall here is called
Mega Central and oh my goodness the name says it all!! this place has
3 stories and is JY-NORMUS! we had a ton of fun and its funny how back
home i took small things for granted like eating at taco bell or
burger king cause here they are hard to come by. infact i think there
are only one of each! ha so we ate at taco bell and i appreciated
every bite!! i swear ive eaten more rice here than anyone of you back
home have ever eaten in your life put together!! i will never touch
rice again when i come home!! haha oh and another cool thing this week
is that we are getting bars installed inbetween the columns that those
little thiefs were able to squeeze through so now our house should be
2% more thief-proof!! haha the robbery here is off the hook. seriously
every time we go into a store, someone follows us around just to make
sure we dont slip something in our pockets! its like everyone is
issued their own personal babysitter! but im loving it and loving the
people! things here are going really good and the sun never stops
shining so im in heaven! anyways i love you all and hope things back
home are going great!!
