Week 38: Meeting my 3rd mission president!!!

HEYYY!!! Wow this week flew by! 

Another week full of miracles!! Enrique is still going strong! He has a set date to get baptized this Saturday!! I CANT WAIT!!! He is so amazing. Ill write more about him next week!

We had a multi zona this week to meet the PARKERS!!! They are seriously SOO nice! The parkers had met my parents a couple months earlier so when I saw them I ran up to meet them and sister parker gave me the biggest hug and had tears in her eyes and said that this hug is from my mom awwwww It hit me too hard hahah I have to hold it together for 9 more months hahaha!

Then we watched conference IN ENGLISH!!! #BLESSED We had about 15 gringos surrounded one little computer hahaha we were so desperate to listen to the prophets voice without voice overs hahaha We showed up to conference and everything was SOOO unorganized nothing was set up so we got into stateside mode and had to figure out how to set up conference in time for everyone hahaha one elder said [if we we were in the states this would have been set up the WEEK before[ hahaha love the chapins.

On the way back from conference it was POURING rain. It rained so hard that it was up to my ankles. I had never been so grateful for my grandma crocs. Im still sick, so during the rain storm I threw up into the street and the little river on the street just SWEPT it away so quick hahah pros and cons.  

The dogs are still trying to stop the missionary work hahaha! We were basically hiking to an appointment and when we turned the corner about 5 growling dogs came out of no where and I was so fed up at that point I just started slinging my book of mormon back and forth and they didn't end up biting us hahah then some pilas 4 year olds came out of the forest to get the dogs away hahah i love the kids here! Their parents just leave them at home while they go to work. The kids are solid, they literally wash their own clothes by hand at age 8 hahaha everyone just fends for themselves here! 

I LOVED being able to hear from a living prophet this weekend. I LOVED when he said TIME IS RUNNING OUT. So simple but SO bold. We do not have time to mess around with the commandments of god. We need to keep the commands of the lord and trust that we will be blessed for it. As we ACT we can show the lord we are ACTIVELY following his will. time is running out, the savior is coming, may we all prepare our lives with the necessary changes. 

Con amor,
