Semana 34!!! Aibonito

So this week has been full of walking and full of lessons! On saturday we will have the baptism of Martin, a sweet old man who absolutely loves the book of mormon and the peace it has brought into his life. Pray for him!

We also are teaching a single dad and his 18 year old son.  So the dad is a strong believer in God and the son doesn't believe that God exists.. so we met up at an ice cream shop last week to teach them, we didn't have time to share a big lesson, so we shared Mosiah 4:9 and after the lesson when we were saying goodbye, the son shook our hands and said "I feel good around you guys" in stuttered English. We all felt the spirit and we have high hopes for them! 

We also had mutual again this week and it was a huge success! it was so much fun and we were able to play fun games and share spiritual thoughts!! ill attatch pictures below! 

So the most embarassing moment in my life...

Every Sunday night we go to the Branch Presidents house for dinner, last night we were all eating dinner and talking about our weight (weird I know just go with it). Anyways, the Branch presidents 17 year old son went and weighed himself and hes a little twig of a guy so he came back into the room and said "I weigh a lot, I weigh 130!." At that moment my companion looked at me like this  cause she weighs the same as the 17 year old boy... and I had had just taken a drink of water and BUSTED UP LAUGHING WITH ALL THE WATER IN MY MOUTH I AND SPIT THE WATER ALL OVER THE BRANCH PRESIDENT WIFE'S FACE AND ALL OVER THE DINNER TABLE. 

The branch president looked over at us and said ïts a good thing I like you guys cause if not... you don't even want to know!"

then her husband says ät least you dont have to shower tonight..."HAHAH 

So.. yeah... its all good! 

have a great week i love you all!

Semana 33!! Aibonito

Hola,

WOW Wow Wow! i'm alive!!!!!! Well Tuesday morning we had an earthquake here, but we're all good! Our little apartment shook for a few seconds but we are alive and working hard!

This week was good, we saw lots of little miracles in our little town!  

On Wednesday we had mutual with the youth and we played volleyball! it was so much fun! I got smack in the face with the ball, but my glasses didnt break so bendiciones!

One of the miracles we saw was that on sunday, (yesterday) our friend Martin came to church! hes pretty old (72) but hes on date to be baptized at the end of this month!!! So we are really excited for him! He loved church and brought his own book of mormon and everything! The members were all really loving and supportive towards him! 

I love this work and I'm so happy and grateful to be an instrument in the Lords hands!!! 

Love you all!!!!

Semana 31!!! Aibonito - I'm TRAINING again!!!

So this week was nothing short of CRAZY.  

On friday we went to Aguas Buenas to help out some elders in our district! they were having an activity with all the youth in their ward! They were missionaries for the day! They woke up at 6:30 and did exercise and planned and studied and did everything a missionary does! So from 3-5 our whole district drove up to Aguas Buenas and we went out contacting with the youth, knocking on doors and talking to everyone and asking if we could share a message! It was so cool to help the youth see what a mission is like!! 

There were so many other things, too many to remember! 

Last night we recieved transfer news and I will be training again here in aibonito and hermana nelson will be leaving to guyama:( I am super excited to be able to train again and see the work out here in Aibonito flourish!!!! I also might be getting a latina so my spanish will really improve evern more! we will just have to wait and see!!! 

 HASTA LUEGO!!!! HERMANA GRAY!
