Maddy on a Mission: 1-13-14

Okay, so I am pretty much totally out of time! This computer kept freezing. Lame I know. But quick bullet points this week:

-We had a lady sing us a song in ketwa and it was SO awesome! I will learn a little bit (after I get spanish down haha) Also, we were teaching her and she wouldn't let us teach her until we had eaten all these rolls on a plate (there was like 10) so she walked out to get her bible and my comp said " quick!! put them in your bag!" .... so I did. she didn't even know ;)

-Also this week we taught lessons in the roa ( like full on lesson) next to a church where a woman was just wailing and wailing (but it was singing I promise). I had such a hard time not laughing!

-We also taught a lesson sitting on a roof. That was interesting.... but super awesome lesson! She committed to baptism and is a SUPER sweet lady!

-When your converts (Diego) start wearing actual church clothes to church it is the BEST feeling. I got a little choked up seeing him in a white shirt and tie :) He is doing great by the way!

-Tambien, we were sitting in consejo de barrio manana and my comp leans over to me during a serious part and says "also, did you know only vampires can love you forever?" I lost it. Our relief society president had a shirt that said that!! It reminded me so much of China. hahaha

-So we had an AWESOME miracle this week. We had been searching for a house forever and could NOT find it. We were getting ready to give up and I asked if we could say a prayer first. Directly after we finished, we were walking down the street and a little boy came running up to us and yelling "hermanas!!!" Well, it was the little boy of the house we were looking for!!! He lead us to his house which was no where near where they said. But I was so happy. God is so good. He's really been showing me this week that he listens.

-Also this week our trainer leader hermana Rhoten was gone for 2 days and us two newbie trainees were alone! For those two days, I had the gift of understanding and speaking. I really did. It was incredible. People understood me, I taught a lot, and I could understand them!! As soon as she came back, I went back to how I usually am! But it was really awesome.

-Tambien, I love you guys! I have no more time. But I love it here. It's so much fun. It's also incredible to teach about something so special to me. I want EVERYONE to hear about the gospel!! It has rained every single day this week, and its a little colder than normal, which has been nice because hiking cerros in the sun is HARD! Well, keep on being awesome people. Share what you love most. Through deed, word and action. Try to make 1 new friend this week!!! I Love you all!
