I am Officially Mexican!!!!

Hola hola!!!! So Im officially Mexican because we had a family home evening last week and they tuaght me how to make tortillas by hand!! Oh man theyre SO GOOD!!! Be excited to have a carne asada when I get home!!
So a lot of kind of sad bad things happened this week!! We were supposed to have two baptisms this wednesday and they both fell through because one of them has to wait 5 more montsh because of some problems we found out and they other one his parents changed his mind and wont let him get baptized!!! WHy do all the parents always do this??? So yeah I was kind of upset yesterday after they said this but oh well I know that in time things will work out, I just wont be here to see it.
But we met the funniest lady after that! She was a less active that my companion that we should go find after we saw the name of her family on a list that we got from the bishop. So we went and talked to their family and she talked about how they were inactive because they didnt feel welcome in the ward and the people werent very friendly (so if you ever see someone new in church be really nice and happy and fun). So we talked for a minute and I told her I would stand outside waiting with the ward and we would dance for her so that she could see people were fun to be around! I dont know how to explain it but I already love her and we laughed for like 20 minutes straight when we met her! Her family had started talking to the jehovahs witnesses and she was worried for her kids and was thinking about coming back to church because she knows the church is true but had a problem with the people here and said that everything happens for a reason and we came to visit her at the perfect time and shes going to come to church next week with or without her family! We are going to visit them again friday and Im excited for them.
Miracle of the week!! We met this family last week and we went back to visit them another day and everything had gone wrong. Their dad had abandoned them, trying to kick them out of the house without money or food! They had gone 3 days without food when we showed up!!!!! So luckily I had some granola bars and gave it to the kids and then we called the bishop and they showed up with food for 3 days and theyre working with everyone to try and help them get a job and food and it was amazing to see how we foudn them at the perfect time and that the church was there to help them w
hen they most needed it!! Ive never been so happy for fast offering before!! It almost broke my heart to see this family like this, but it was definitely an experience I will never forget! Theyre the cutest!
So next week is transfers and Im not sure if Im going to be writing on MOnday or Tuesday. Ok now I say this because I dont want you to worry if I dont write on MOnday. This doesnt mean you have permission to start writing me on MOnday and hope I write tuesday. Everybody set an alarm on their phone for this sunday that says Write Nicole!!! Because Youre all slackers! Ok thats all I still love you haha!!! Have an amazing week everyone!!!
