Week 39: HALF WAYYYY (9 MONTHS)!!!!

A week full of bad luck hahaha!
 
SO we got a phone call that a member needed help cleaning out her dining room shelves so we went over and found HUNDREDS OF DEAD COCKROACHES hahaha and all their poop. Omg cleaning it wasn't that bad but the fact that they gave us the sponges they use to clean their dishes to clean out all the insets and poop got to me because THEN THEY WASHED THE DISHES WITH IT. THEN WE ATE THERE FOR LUNCH, AND WE ATE OFF THOSE SAME DISHES WITH THE LEFT OVER COCKROACHES  ahhhhh!!!!! 


To continue with the bad luck, I got really sick. I had a pounding head ache and my whole body was sore, and I had a fever of 101. It was BRUTAL cause right now we are in the DEAD middle of summer so its normally 97 degrees here with humidity. But the work goes on. I go out even when I feel like that, I think only though the powers of heaven I find the energy to work and be super sick hahah!


MORE BAD LUCK my ex comp hermana Morales IS IN THE HOSPITAL. She is having really bad kidney problems!! Shes been in the hospital for almost 5 days!!
 
Update on my tuk tuk admirer, hahaha I wasn't in my area for a couple of days cause I am doing intercambios with the hermanas in my zone to help them in their areas and my comp was in my area. She told me that he would drive up REALLY FAST and PUMPED to see me and then he realized I was gone and my comp said he looked so sad hhahaa! He always flashes his headlights when he sees us walking haha!


We got on a bus this week that was SO full that i had to stand on the step to get on the bus with the DOOR WIDE OPEN hahaha and they speed like a million miles a hour hahha! I only had one little handle to bar to grasp and i was SWEATING SO BAD that my hand almost slipped hahaha guatelife.
 
WOW HALF WAY!!!! Fastest 9 months of my life. I made it up to the peak! Now its all down hill to 18 months AHHH Im not ready. 
 
Then everything was PERFECT for Enrique! But then we hit some bumps in his progress and he got REALLY upset about this and had a relapse and started drinking. Everytime we have passed by to help him with his doubts he is drunk so we have to leave and we cant help. It has been one of the hardest parts of my mission to see an investigator come SOOO close and fall so fast. Its the type of sadness that hurts a little. I'm sure the savior is very familiar with this feeling. When we come so close to our potential and fall short. We will all fall short. ALWAYS. We are humans. But we have the 2nd chance through Christs sacrifice. May we all take advantage of this gift, this second chance. I testify that change is possible through the power of the atonement.
