La Verdad, Cochinita, and 17 month mark!

Hi everyone! How´s it going?

Why do I always forget everything that happened this week when I start to write? Haha let´s see....

This week we ran around like crazy again, we got to go to other areas to help in the search for new investigators! We were in Kohunlich and we got hopelessly lost looking for a comic store, and found it after an hour of searching and talking to people in the streets. But it was cool and we learned a tiny bit more about the local bus system. The one that we took went in the OPPOSITE direction than where we wanted to go, hahahaha. It was an adventure :) 

We had a bit of a let down because Victor went out of town, the day of his baptism. But we are going to work hard and he will be super ready for this coming week. 

A huge miracle was that yesterday we had an amazing FHE last night and a recent convert, Dany planned the lesson. He tailored it exactly to the need of our investigator, Aline! She has everything, she just needs to recognize her answer. He taught with deep questions and the scriptures, and Aline realized that she already knows the Church is true! It was so beatiful and the spirit was so strong. And then we ate tostadas :) We´re super excited to keep working with her, go over the lessons one more time, and have her baptism soon! 

We found a ton of clothes, shoes, even a hammock that misisonaries have left in our house and today we deep cleaned the house. It was like a treasure hunt because there was some cute stuff in there!

This week I completed 17 months in the mission!!! What??? It feels so surreal but my cute companion made me a little banner to celebrate. PS she made it to her year mark! We ate pancakes, like always. 

Gotta work hard in this last month!! I feel so inspired by the great missionaries of the Book of Mormon, Ammon, Alma, Aaron. They never gave up, even after being in prison and passing through all sorts of afflictions. That´s the attitud of a good missionary!!

What else? We ate yellow kiwi, our 84 year old investigator went to church, and I had the yummiest torta de cochinita ever. I asked for seconds, it was perfect. yum! 

Well I am out of time but I love you all so much! Sorry for this scattered email, read your scriptures and pray every day! The little things make the difference! 

Have a great week!
