First
off, I've realized that I speak pure spanglish now, like "Oh no! it se
cayo-ed!" or "we're going to regresar at 5" or "do you like to bailar?".
It's pretty fun!

This week was so incredible!!
The Visalia sisters came to our area and we both went to teach. In the
same hour on the same street, we both found new investigators who want
to learn more. One went to our bible study that night, then the baile,
and then church, and the other during the whole lesson was asking about
how he can get baptized. Also, we hadn't seen an elote man in months,
and Sister Jesperson prayed that we'd find one, and we did. Milagros!

Saturday
was our St. Patrick's Day Dance that we put together to help the branch
grow closer together and get non members to learn more about our
church. We had 2 investigators there and one of them brought a friend!
The decorations looked awesome, and all the members that came had a
great time, it was fun to watch all the people dancing, they are way
better than at stake dances!

Friday we had
interviews with president and it changed my entire perspective on
missionary work. He explained that we often work ourselves up over
expectations of both ourselves and others, but the only expectations
that matter are from God. We make goals with numbers to help us grow,
and if we don't make them, it doesn't mean that we're disobedient or
awful people, as long as we get to the end of the day and still have
that good connection with God, knowing that we tried our hardest, He's
ok with that. "The Lord can baptize as many as He wants, He just wants
us to participate so that we can have the experience to learn". It's all
about our own growth. As we come here to serve, we're growing, we're
learning, and we're helping others as well. Recently I feel like I've
focused on a lot of things that I could do better, but now I want to
focus on how I've grown, God just wants us to grow and become more like
Him! So this week, look at the past year and focus on what you've done
good and what great changes you've made in your life. I promise that it
will help change you to have a more positive mentality and help you look
forward to other changes.
