#23 - This week we hit a wall (literally)

It was actually a pretty great week!

Probably the best package I could have ever gotten- Love you Mom and Dad!
[BTW-It's all fortune cookies!]

First off- Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes!!!

Harry Potter scar

The title comes from our adventure Saturday night, transfer calls came after lights out, (I'M GETTING TRANSFERRED!) so we were sitting in the dark and I went up to check if the door was locked and I ran into the corner of the wall. My forehead started  bleeding and we were worried that I needed to go get stitches, but we called the nurse and it actually wasn't that  bad. And it doesn't hurt anymore, I just look like Harry Potter, I already have my Halloween Costume! We also called President because we thought that we were going to the hospital, but he didn't pick up. So then he called back the next morning and said he would just tell me then that I'm going to Selma and training!! It's going to be quite the adventure but I'm so excited! Sister Feldman said it was like the Nanny Mcphee quote that when they want you but no longer need you you have to leave, I'm going to miss Madera so much! We also found out that the other elders are staying zone leaders but training in a trio,  and they're sending two more elders to Madera 3, so there will be 7 missionaries in this ward! 

So we Tortilla'd the other missionaries' apartment, and then they tortilla'd it back, but they were nice and numbered all of them.

Finally ate an Elote! (or Pelote, still don't know exactly what they're called, but it's so good!)

Yesterday at church was such a miracle! Joanna came!! For the first time since I've been here!! She's so cute. Then we taught Young Women's about Christlike attributes. There's this great talk called the Character of Christ that we heard at the MTC. We shared a story about a lady who right after hearing about the death of her daughter, she reached out to other people to make sure that their families were taken care of. When our first instinct is to look outward instead of inward, that's when we're acting like Christ, and it's a way of living, not just "doing" good things. It was  a good lesson for all of us, I absolutely loved studying for it. Christ is the perfect example of love, and I'd encourage you all to look for ways to reach out to others this week like he would.
