Hey everyone.
So sorry this week I don't have a ton of time but here is what happened this week.
We were able to finally teach Ariel again on Monday. We went and were sharing with him but he asked us a question. He was sharing the gospel with some of his friends and they had a question he didn't know how to respond. It was super amazing because we were able to help him so he could answer the question. The thing that was the best was that he is sharing the gospel. It was so amazing to see how excited he was to tell us the experience he has had sharing what he has learned with his friends and family. Also he made fun of me for wearing my glasses jaja so that was super fun to see him opening up a little bit. He is a super serious kid and it was great to see him goof off even if it was for 1 minute. 
On Tuesday I went really hard on my exercises and was super excited to shower and cool off and we didn't have water jaja. So that was kinda well super sad. But then I got a huge bloody nose and couldn't wash off my face so I had to go to our meeting of missionaries and go out to lunch with blood all over my face and not having showered that morning. How embarrassing jaja. But it was all good after that. We had intercambios and I was in Caaguazu so no one knew me anyways. And yes I finally washed the blood off my face. The Hermana's in Caaguazu were struggling a bit with motivation to talk to people and do the missionary work. But I was able to listen to the Hermana I was with and help her realize the importance of why we are here and she was more excited to get out to work. After that we had a great day. We talked to a ton of people and we were able to find nuevos muy buenos. 
On Wednesday we traveled to return to Oviedo and normally its like 45 minutes but the colectivo we took was super slow and we were on the colectivo for 1.5 hours. Super fun jaja. But we finally got back to our area and Hermana Gomez and I got back to work. We worked really hard and found great people and had awesome lessons. One of them that stood out to me is with a girl named Raquel. She is really searching for peace right now and we taught her about the plan of salvacion. She is super great. She always pays a lot of attention and she has a true desire to learn. She told us how better her life has been since she has shared with us. How she is always happier and that she can feel more peace. We told her it was the spirit and that God wants her to find the truth and have the peace in her life.
On Thursday we found a family. It was really great because we thought they were gonna be super awesome but as we started to teach we realized the dad just wanted to argue with us. He was just telling us we are liars and that we are sent from the devil. The saddest part is that his two daughters really could feel the Spirit and wanted to read and pray but he wouldn't let them. So I thanked him for his time and invited him to listen to the missionaries the next time they came because the message will be the same but he will be different. He then proceeded to kick us out of his house.
My invitation for everyone reading this email is to not fight about religion. Everyone of us is a child of God and he wants us to be happy. If someone wants to fight with us about what we know to be true, the contention will drive out the spirit and we will not leave edified, but we will leave with anger and hate which is not from our loving Heavenly Father.
On Friday we had to wake up super early so that we could travel to San Lorenzo and have conferencia de zona. Elder Bragg from the 70 came to talk to us. He is also in the Presidencia of the area South America south. And he was my mission presidents old companion. It was super awesome to hear from him. He is so entuned with the spirit. We had a little conference before with just the lideres and then everyone all together.
They asked me to sing in the choir and to translate for Hermana Hansen. It was a very large honor to be able to translate for her. We talked about how we can be better missionaries and work more effective to help others come unto Cristo and understand the doctrine of Cristo. It was so amazing and the spirit in the conference was very strong. We travelled home and we got home around 7. We went to another meeting with our branch mission leader and then we taught ingles and piano. But by the end we weren't able to get out and work.
Saturday we found a guy named Jose. He is an old grandpa who is super sweet. We had a very spiritual lesson. He asked us who was the prophet today and how we can know he is a profeta. When we asked him to be baptized he told us he would try but he cant be perfect like Cristo. But he would do everything in his power. He is super nice and I have a good feeling about him. But we were at lunch and I asked if we could serve Nancy, our member who always helps us and gives us lunch. So she said yes and we started cleaning the plates. I grabbed all the cups and went to put the down so we could wash them. But I dropped one and it shattered. Hermana Gomez made fun of me and was like what kind of service is that. So then I went to clean it up and Nancy was like don't cut yourself. I told her not to worry I am a professional. But well then I cut myself on accidente. So basically I'm the reason we cant have nice things jaja.
And I got a ton of friends in Oviedo. It happens with you are in an area for 4 months. A guy drove passed on a moto and he was like Hermana Davis!!! And waved. I waved back but had no idea who it was jaja. The fans :)
Sunday it rained really hard so no one came to church. Kinda sad really. But I saved 2 frogs that day. SO not only a pig hero but a frog hero as well.
I'm sure there is more that happened but I am out of time. I am so amazed everyday by how perfect God really is. He is a God of order and He is always there to help us if we are willing to trust in Him and keep His commandments. I know this to be true. I love you all. I am so grateful for all

To Heaven and Back!
