Hermana Davis and Gomez
This week okay
So new life (motto?) Don't leave for tomorrow what you can eat today!!
Definitely felt that this week. Ill explain. So before I start with Monday, on Tuesday we had kinda a fat day. So much crazy stuff happened. But we were fed soo much food. So we actually had lunch in the house. But for our consejo de distrito I was suppose to make the treat for after and I made brown sugar bars and we ate those then we came home and ate. Well it was super hot and when we were walking down the street a police officer stopped us. I was worried at first, but he was like hey its super hot lets get ice cream. I was like okay! So he bought us ice cream and we talked and he had shared with missionaries a long time ago. He was super nice and we are gonna try and find him again. Then later we went to visit Wilma y Alberto. They gave us popsicles and we bought these crackers they have here called coquitos. Oh and we went to use the bathroom at a restaurant called Quiero Fruta and they had these Mexican Popsicles called Paletas and Hermana Gomez wanted to try it so we bought those. Then the popsicles and coquitos. Then the elders called us in the night and asked who had the better accent out of the two and as payment bought us ice cream as well jaja and we bought empanada's because the members told us they were the best empanada's they had eaten and we need to try it. So basically I am fat jaja but it was super good. Don't leave for tomorrow what you can eat today!!
Okay okay so this week was super great. On Monday we taught Jose again. When we got there he asked us why were called Mormons and how we were to know that Jose Smith was a profeta. It was so perfect because we wanted to teach him what the Book of Mormon was and it lead right into our lesson. He is super great and he wants to come to church. Spoiler something happened and he didn't come but we are gonna pass for him again because he is awesome. 
On Tuesday, we had a super weird day. Not only did I eat more than I should have, we also had weird lessons. So first we met this guy named Helmut. He was weird around us, trying to be funnier than he really is, but he is nice and he wanted to read. His sister was married to one of the members here. So he already knew about the church. We also met this guy named Joel. When we got there he was excited to let us in and teach. He had shared with missionaries a lot in the past and had even gone to church a few times. But as we started to share we realized he wasn't there to listen he was there to argue. So we were trying to tell him that we weren't there to argue we were there to share with him and he told us it wasn't arguing because he was right and we were wrong. 
Then he kept trying to argue with us and we were trying to leave and he had such a prideful look on his face trying to prove us wrong. But we stayed patient and that made him more mad. But at the end of him talking at us I cut him off and then I told him that we were not there to argue and that our time was limited. That we knew what was right. I thanked him for his time and invited him to pray and come to church and when the next missionaries came to let them in and listen to them because the message will be the same but HE will be different and he should listen so that he can receive the blessings that got has for him. We thanked him and left. He was so angry and he thought he bested us but to be honest the things he wanted to argue about were little details in the Bible that if he studied and prayed he would come to realize that is why we have the Book of Mormon, to understand the bible and to have the fullness of the gospel. Also we passed Joaquina's house and she was chasing us down and told us her boss wasn't home and she asked us if we could share with her because she could feel the difference when we weren't sharing with her. So we did. It was super cute. She knows it is all true but and she is already in Alma 58. Also her and the two little girls cute their hair and have bangs to be like me. It was so cute. They told me they missed seeing me everyday so they cut their hair like me. It broke my heart. Also Alberto isn't keeping his compromises and so when we asked him to say a prayer he could tell I was a little sad so he prayed that I wouldn't be mad and stop visiting them.
Man so much stuff happened Tuesday. A guy drove past us and was like who are you guys. WHO ARE YOU! And I was like missionaries! A guy also drove by and told us we were pretty and then stopped to talk to us. Guys are kinda crazy here. But all in all Tuesday was a good day. Wednesday, we found these two guys who are studying in the college. They were super cool and they were really willing to listen to us. But then we went to visit some members who live super super far away in our area. So we went off on the adventure to find them. It was good. We walked forever but she was so grateful because no one visits them because they live so far. But then we did and she gave us great references. We worked there for a while and then decided to come back and it was a long walk. We saw these two trucks in a crash and they were delivery trucks so there was a ton of smashed bottles and treats on the floor. Sad because it was probably super expensive. Probably my favorite part about Thursday is that we were walking to a cita and we heard Baby Shark playing. Now for those who are not aware, baby shark is a girls camp song. When we heard it we looked at each other and I stopped in my tracks and turned around to talk to the family. We started talking and we were teaching the mom and her niece. It was super great and when we left Hermana Gomez told me she had talked to that same lady 2 weeks ago and she was super super mean to them. But now she was really nice. She was so confused. It was meant to be though.
On Friday we had intercambios and I went to Piribebuy with Hermana Facer. She is really sweet and a great missionary. They are kinda in a rut in their area but we were able to find lots of great people and invited everyone to baptized. It was a great day. Saturday we ran into a man who for almost an hour told us how wrong we were and how we weren't going to be saved and he had the true church and a lot of stuff. It was very sad. Sunday God blessed us with a miracle. We have been working really hard and I know that God has been helping us because we had Nelson and Miriam a young couple we have been working with come to church. It was really amazing to see. I am grateful for the Lords hand in the mission work. I know this church is true and I am sorry I am our of time. Thanks all folks until next week!!
