11-3-14 I love slow internet!!!!!!!!

So this week we just worked (like every week) haha sorry I am getting more boring I just can't think of what happens in one week. Everything is so exciting to us, but it's also a lot of the same routine. And I don't ever have internet that works!! I think God wants me to learn even MORE patience than I have been developing... haha

I got to hold a snake this week!!! And 2 monkeys!!! One weird big one in la merced and then on Saturday we were just contacting and we saw a man with a TINY monkey. It was sooooo cute!!!! I took pics, but idk when I will be able to send them.

This week was introvistas con presidente. I love that man and respect him so much!! This week we will have multi-zone and practices.... yay.... (I hate practices)

Hey, did anyone know I hit a year this Thursday??? Que WEIRD. AHHH!! I am old. And I still can't speak spanish... haha 

SO Halloween.... We woke up to POURING rain that continued almost all day. Good thing I had 2 ponchos (orange and black) that I have never even opened!! We totally had Halloween colors :) And the elders carved a pina.... stinking genuises....

We dressed as elderas for Halloween (or twins, which is what everyone thought) and we didn't even eat ONE dulce. Not one. There was lots of kids trick or treating, but they don't really dress up!! And they are all holding tiny pumpkin baskets that would maybe fit 15 candies.... also, only tiendas give out candy. Idk. The whole thing is just weird! I love holidays in the states, but it was a very FUN day anyway!!!!!!

Elderes

Welp.. That's all for now folks! love you!!!

p.s. some conference quotes I LOVE: 

"A God who makes no demands is the functional equivalent of a God who does not exist."

"We do not need to achieve some minimum level of capacity of goodness before God will Help."

"NO FORCE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD CAN STOP THE WORK OF GOD."

"Opposition against the things of God sends seekers of truth to their knees for answers."

"Selective obedience, brings selective blessings."

"Partner with God to endure to the END."

"I may not be my brothers keeper, but I am my brothers brother, and because I have been given much I too must give."

"Decisions determine destiny."

"NOTHING else, NO other choice we make, can make of us what he can."

"Challenges help us become more like our Father in Heaven."

"The best paths in life are rarely the easiest."

And mannyyyy more. Hopefully you can use one of these to lift your spirits this week and remember who's you are.

We buy pinas every week. 2 soles. :)
