making jam & cross stitching

Hey guys!! 

Another amazing week has ended in Broadway! 

Ok so we are loving it here. We are killing it and get along SO well. Ah! It's amazing. I had an epiphany the other day....I love the mission. And you wanna know why? It's because I enjoy every part of it. Knocking doors, district meeting, lessons, progressing investigators, dinners with members, talking with people in the street and grocery store, baptisms, studies, being with a comp 24/7 and planning. I LOVE IT. And loving every part, all the way, is what makes it go by soooo fast! It's flying by and I cannot believe it! It was barely Monday! But, it's flying by because we are enjoying every part. Ps we speak 100% Spanish minus pday and it's awesome, we are learning so much!! We are so tired....but not letting it get to us!! Haha 

I think the mission is easier to enjoy and goes by a lot quicker when we fully understand our purpose as missionaries and love every part of the work!

Update on Estephany: she came to church yesterday and talked about how much she loves Relief Society! She just fits in, and in our lesson we had on Thursday, we asked her how she was feeling for her baptism on August 18th. She told us: "Well, I want to get baptized tomorrow. But it's not possible" aahhhh. Please pray that her divorce papers can be processed quickly and that she can be married to her bf, who is the member that introduced her to the church.

Well, to explain my subject, we did lots of service this week, which just happened to make us feel like the grandmas we are inside. We made strawberry jam with a 82 year old, and then did some casual cross stitching to help out the Relief Society, they are doing a tablecloth with all the hermanas names! 

So one of our appointments canceled this week, and so we were walking around this apartment complex, and started talking with this man that was outside. He did the usual look away and rush inside, but we caught him in time, starting talking with him, and he told us to come back in a few days! We met with him and his friend, both from Guatemala, which reminded me like crazy of all my guatemalteco amigos. Long story short, he had all the *golden questions* and is super excited to learn!  

We are reading the Book of Mormon as a mission, which means we read 8 pages per day. It's been an amazing experience being able to learning so much about how merciful and loving God is! Also, Nephi is so obedient and never delays a prompting from the Lord. This Gospel is so TRUE, and I love sharing it with the sweet people of Houston.
