HOLA MY FAVORITES :)

Happy Halloween! Literally nothing is different about this day, and you couldn´t even tell if it was Halloween or not here! Apparently halloween here is SUPER sketchy, like dangerous and stuff! So luckily we will be inside, don´t worry mom :) 

I had a HUGE mistake in Spanish this week. So I was calling a taxi, and the lady that we had just taught told me the address, and it was, ¨Imbo 3, la primera muerto¨ and I said ¨Imbo 3, la primera MUERTA!¨ so I basically just said the first death, instead of the first speed bump! How embarressing!! They were laughing SO hard, and it was quite funny. Oh well, the only way I will get better is making mistakes, verdad? :) 

So this week we had a SOLID district meeting. Basicallly Satan is working way hard, and we need to work twice as hard to combat him :) It was such a spiritual meeting! Afterwards, I got a blessing from a grengo elder, and it gave me SO much peace! I was worried about the fact that God wasn´t pleased with my work, and that I am doing things wrong. BUT the blessing gave me SO much comfort and it said that God is so pleased with my efforts, even though the work is hard at times! It was so comforting! PREISTHOOD BLESSINGS ARE THE BEST AND SUCH A WONDERFUL GIFT FROM GOD! ah. :) 

Also, so during district meeting, we talked a LOT about pride, and doing things our way, or the Savior´s way! I learned SO much, about how we reallly need to be in tune with every prompting we receive, and ACT on it. That is something that my friend Mariah is SO good at, and I am striving to develop :) We are trying to be more in tune with the spirit and worthy of the companionship of the spirit :) 

I learned SO much about pride this week. really, we must be stripped of pride to be effective missionaries. Pride includes withholding a compliment, not allowing help, or being slow to forgive. WOW I have SO much to work on, but I have learned so much! I am never going to recieve the gift of tounges if I have pride! Super humbling :) 

SO our investigator, Hermana Marta, was going to get baptized this week, but she couldn´t get her papers from Nicagraua to get married! BUT, she is going to San Jose on Thursday and she says that she is going to get them the 12th, which is her new baptism date! We are super pumped and have a TON of hope! This is especially important, because transfers are the 14th, and Hermana Henao has 7 months here, so she is probs gonna get transfered. So we want to have a baptism together and see a miracle! PLEASE pray for her!! 

Sidenote: in Spanish, there isn´t the word ¨it¨ well there is, but if you are talking about a watermelon, you say ¨she¨ and not ¨it¨ anyways, i find it super funny, calling fruit, umbrellas, and books he or she! (if this makes no sense, I am so sorry) 

Sidenote two: I show everyone my baptizm picture, and everyone laughs! Hermana Henao thinks it´s hilarous, and I don´t know why! Everyone says that I look the same, hair and all. so there´s that :) 

I LOVE YOU ALL MORE THAN YOU KNOW! Thanks for everything! Shoutout to my parents for getting married in the temple and raising me right, so I can tell people that I have an eternal family :)
