Funeral

 Just another great week full of miracles!! 

Got to go through the temple again this week to do baptisms for the dead with the elders and their recent convert. Which was amazing. That same day we had a funeral. Which was really sad because it was member that I've known since my first week on the mission. But the member, Juan.. his girl friend recently got baptized. So it makes me very happy to know she has the gospel in her life. That she has the knowlege she can see him again. 

(Also my comp and I are lucky we were chased twice whole biking.. long story.)

Oct. 4 Octubre???

 Sorry I've actually been the worst at emailing. I can't believe we are in October!! Pdays are just so busy fun that I run out of time every pday to write so the past three weeks have been amazing a fun of miracles!! We set 2 bap dates!! With our friend Dominique which was one of the biggest miracles ever. Dominique is 9 years old we have been teaching her for a while and her mom is a member. Her mom is a single mom to 6 kids and she always worked on Sundays. We prayed and fasted so much. And her mom changed her job! And now Dominique can get baptized! October 17th we also set bap date with our friend Jose! Jose is the most driven person I have ever met. He loves russel m nelson and temples! He's on date for the 24th of this month! 

Also I hit my 8 months

1. Funny story, so there was a day a couple weeks ago that I had so many meetings I had ZLC then MLC. So I didn't eat all day. One of the elders. Elder Silva was so kind and made us dinner. That day we were biking.. and we biking home it was about 20 min and we brought the dinner in my dollar tree basket that I had tied onto my bike. And I went off this curb and my stuff went every where!!! On the cross walk at the light and the food went everywhere. I was so hungry and exhausted I was nearly in tears... and hermana Anderson said if I cried she would tell elder Silva...

9/20 8 months

 Today I hit my 8 months of being a missionary!! I can't believe it's been 8 months. I feel like it was just yesterday I was in Quarantine not able to leave the apartment. This week was so amazing! Miracle this week: 

Wednesday we were at the VC until 7pm and we were about to go home. We had a lesson planned but it had canceled. We were heading to the car and our zone leaders were about to go through the temple with their recent convert Emily (she got baptized that Sunday) and they were going to to baptisms for the dead. And they didn't have any girls going with them. So Milagro we got to go through the temple with her!!! It was so spiritual and so amazing. 

Funny moments: 

 the elders not explaining at all to their recent convert what was going to happen..  and me totally falling into elder cates when he baptized me...

We found this guy named Juan Carlos. We found him street contacting and he's way cool!!! He called us 6 times confirming his appointment we had with him. Cause he thought it was too good to be true. He told his boss that he had an emergency this Sunday to his boss so that he could come to church!! Also loved my HLJ ring (CTR ring) and I gave it to him and he wore it to  church. He moved here from Honduras a week ago!! 

We also found this guy yesterday named Carlos. He decided to visit an member member recently moved to the ward and miracle !!! Her boyfriend isn't a member and his been coming to church the past 3 Sundays !! And now we are teaching him!!
