October 27, 2014 - BAM! Another Week Gone

Bam, another week gone.  Drunk Armenian men, night walks, dropped citas, running around like crazy, painting, eating a smoothie and freezing, food bank, Mr. Watts, exchanges, the hobbit, finding flour for days, suegro vs yerno vs cunado = laughing so hard I was crying, ordering pizza, our phone is crazy, some of our investigators are way awesome, I'm surprised my companion lets me drive  jk I'm a safe driver! ...  Yeah that basically sums up my week my week.
 
Zona de Burbank!  Finally I got a picture of all (20) of us!
 
Flour fight... the aftermath
 
What happens when we forget to schedule in dinner....
I survive on peanut butter pretzels
good thing we have plastic cups in our trunk (and tons of flour covered socks and about 10 random balls and plastic knifes..... yeah not sure how that all built up.  It is all nicely organized in a box :) )
 
Painting

Yeah life is good here :)  I continue to see miracles everyday and I continue to enjoy myself more and more.  I've recently been trying to find the moments to laugh and I have found that they are not in short order.  We had a couple of moments this week where we were laughing so hard that we were looking for moments to breath.  Each day I meet so many amazing people, some want to listen and others don't but they still make an impact in my life and improve my day.  I love it here and I love being a missionary!
 
A miracle: There we were knocking (as we so often do), there were lots of people home, we could see their lights through the windows, but no one wanted to answer.   I turned to Hermana Avila and said, "the first person who opens their door will become a new investigator."  We continued and finally a door opened, "buenas noches?"   After a bit of an introduction he was interested and we began teaching.  He was way cool!  Though some where in the middle of the lesson we switched from Spanish to English and at the end we found out that he is more comfortable in English meaning we sadly won't be the ones teaching him. I guess the English missionaries just really needed a miracle this week as well :D
 
I love you all!
don't forget to laugh!
