Semana 69!!! Decorating for Navidad ya :)

This week was full of contacting and trying to find more people to teach!!!

We decided to use the ward list and visit less actives and also to look in the area book and visit antiguos! And we had a couple miracles! We were walking  around trying to find casa #711 and we literally could NOT find it for an hour and finally after an hour we found the streets of 700s and walked and walked and there was a house #710 and then #715 (for those of you who dont know... it's rare for the streets in puerto rico to have a street sign... let alone a number on a house!) haha. anyway we pulled up to the house in between #715 and #710 and right as we did a car pulled in and we asked them where #711 was and they said "aqui mismo!"! it was so cool 'cause if we had found their house any sooner they wouldn't have been there!!! it was truly a cool little miracle!!!

We also had a really cool lesson with a 19 year old named Mikarla! Her mom passed away cuando tenia 19 anos so we shared the plan of salvation and she loved it!! we asked her how she felt about it and she said "I had no idea God had a plan for all his children and it really does give me hope!" it was a sweet lesson!!! 

Iqui is still progressing and wants to get baptized! We are going to be working with him to see if he can be baptized this December!!! Pray for him!!1

Welp that's it! I love my comp so much she's the cutest thing! Oh and also we found a christmas tree in the middle of the road, broke off a branch, took it home and made a little christmas tree!!! #missionlife!! have a great Thanksgiving week!!!!

My new companion is Hermana gulete from ARGENTINA and we live with 2 other hermanas, hermana espinosa (from argentina also) and herman erickson (from wyoming!!) and it is a BLAST!!!

 We dont have alot of people to currently teach, so we contact ALOT. but there is this one guy named Iqui!!!! he is the SWEETEST thing and is so excited to get baptized!!! He understands everything so well and cant wait to enter into the waters of baptism!!! 

I also got burned 3 times this week, we are right by the ocean so the sun i s SUPER FUERTE!!!! so thats fun!

Semana 67!!! Goodbye Ponce :(

So this week was an AWESOME one!!!

We had a goal to find more people to teach and we had some amazing miracles and ended up finding 5 new people!! and one of them.. his name is Rad so that's super cool haha!

While trying to find people to teach we went and visited this old guy in our ward, Hermano Tito!! and turns out he had 2 of his friends over and we were able to share with them our message and we had a super powerful lesson!! So we are excited to go back this week and see what happens!!! 

Also we are still teaching margarita and the other day we went and taught her lesson 2, the plan of salvation and it was amazing!! We brought a member and she was able to answer a lot of margaritas questions and it was an amazing lesson, she said that her faith is growing! Then yesterday she came to stake conference and loved it!!! 

I would have to say, the highlight of my week was definitely seeing Ramoncito get baptized !! He was so excited to follow christ and to be more like him it was the cutest little baptism!!! We are hoping that his moms boyfriend will be getting baptised soon once they get married!!!

I'm so sad to leave Ponce and all the people here, i have seen so much growth and i just love it here so much!!!  But I am excited to head to a new area and to hopefully impact the lives of people there!!!

Semana 66!!! Ugly boric costumes jaja!!!

Well this week was a great one!!!! WE are continuing to help our friends progress!!! 

On wednesday we had MLC and we were able to come up with some plans for CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!! we are SO excited to be able to share the gospel over christmas and the happiness and joy that the true gospel brings!!! 

We also dressed up for halloween as... honestly... I don't even know what!!! mismatching? puerto ricans? I don't know but it was fun! (don't worry we only wore them for our meeting with the missionaries and then immediately changed hahaha!!) AND THEN THAT NIGHT MADE CARAMEL APPLES:)

We were able to do exchanges with the hermanas from Guayanilla and we had a super cool experience!!! So hermana Thordersona and I were on our way to our cita with Margarita!! A lady we have been teaching for awhile!! and she has a lot of questions, which is good!!! BUT we had NO idea what to teach her, so we decided either lesson one or two, and that once we started talking to her we would decide. After arriving and talking to her for a second I tell her " weve been thinking ALOT about what we wanted to share with you today and we decided that we would go over the importance of the Book of Mormon and why we have it!!!" Those were not my own words, it was truly the help of the Holy Ghost, we ended up having a great lesson and we were able to help resolve all her question about the book of mormon!!! 

We also were able to put little ramoncito on date for this coming saturday!!! He is so excited to "follow the steps of jesus!!" 

and last but not least, yesterday we were at church and there is this guy named Edward who comes to church every week but doesn't have time to meet with us because he takes care of his sister and also works full time, well we asked him if we could meet with him briefly after church with some members and were able to teach him a lesson one and invite him to be baptised!! and he accepted!!! 

It truly is a blessing to be apart of the Lord's work, I feel so blessed to have this opportunity and to help others come to the truth!!!! 

Well sorry that was so jumpy i hope it made sense!! LOVE YOU ALL AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!
