Tecate 11/10/14

Ok so I'm so boring I never know what to name my emails haha! so this week was pretty slow on the work because nobody was home and nobody wanted to listen to us so we didn;'t have very many lessons and we didn't find very many new investigators! I was sick with a cold and a fever at the beginning of the week so it was pretty miserable to work for a day or two, but it's all good! guess what! I saw Hna Rosas!!!!! We got to talk for like 2 hours and it was so fun!!!!!! She gave me all of the updates on Ensenada and all that's happened with her since I changed areas!

Also I'm a ninja because I killed a black widow this week! Haha actually I almost died because I was so scared but we've seen a couple of black widows this week and it scares the crap out of me. (don't worry mom, none of them have been in the house) So for our 1 year mark we went to a member's house and she made us hamburgers and hot dogs and yummy cake to celebrate becasue there are 4 of us that completed a year this wek! Then we burned one of my shirts at nighttime and shot off poppers! Woo hoo 1 year!!!!!!!!!!!

We had intercambios this week and I went to Tecate with another Hermana and it was so SCARY!! Everything there is like way lonely and I legitly thought we were going to get attacked on this lonely dirt road in the pitch black...but no worries nothitng happened!! But we had the weirdest lesson! We found this testigo de jehovah that was soooooooooooooo annoying and was just trying to fight with us and prove that God is Jehovah. so my companion was trying to prove her wrong, and then her niece (who's a nun and was sitting there in her little nun robes-ENCARNACION!!!) and pulls out her phone and just started filming them! It's hard to explain it, but it was just a really weird lesson filled with nuns, jehovah witnesses, and a crazy lady with her guts in a bag!

So anyways that's all I've got for you guys this week!! I LOVE the people here and I'm way happy! I hope you all have an awesome week!! Oh and I'm totally getting even more chubbier (like you can see in the picture) but oh well I was really happy to see her haha

525,600 minutes!!!! 11/3/14

OK FIRST OF ALL TODAY MARKS ONE YEAR SINCE MY FAREWELL AND THURSDAY I OFFICIALLY COMPLETE A YEAR IN THE MISSION!!!!!!!! AAAAAAH SO CRAZY!!! Oh and also Happy Halloween!!!! They don't do really anything here so my day was way boring!! It gets way sketchy and dangerous on the streets so we had to be in the house at 6:00. We had a couple of people come to do "tricky tricky"at our house so luckily I still had some treats from the packages you've all sent me to give to them!! First off all YES thank you so much grandpa I did get the package!!!!!!! And yes I got the bonus present inside my letter!! Love you you're the best!! I dressed up like Nacho Libre for Halloween in the house because I had nothing to do and all I had was my nacho mask haha! Also in the morning we had to go to teh main chappel in Tijuana where the pressident goes because Hna B had practice for a christmas concert she is going to sing in. so it's Hna Muir's area and I totally saw her for like 2 seconds and it was awesome!

And guesss what else!! DANIELA GOT BAPTIZED!!! She was SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited and so happy and so cute!! After the ordinacnce she said she felt different than she had ever felt in her life and it was something that she's never going to forget!!!! She started crying when everybody was telling her congratulations and she's just so pumped up about everything! I love her!! She's been the coolest investigator to teach in my whole mission and i'm just so happy for her!!!!!!!! The Lord is honestly preparing people to accept the gospel and it's just so awesome to see her so happy about it!! We're working with some awesome investigators that hopefully should get baptized in 2 or 3 weeks coming up so that will be good stuff if they can do it right before transfers!! Love you all so much and hope you have an awesome week and that Halloween was way fun!! Oh! And also, Emmy I got your letter and you're the first cousin to write me so you totally win and I love you and I'll write you back soon!!!

This is how close I was to America today!!!!!!!!!!!! I was dying I was so happy!! A member drove us there we were on our way back from the offices and it was awesome!! I could see 'Merica!!! 6 months!! Oh and also we drove down a street today that is known for having prostitutes....yep it's true!! We got lost and ended up there and just passed by fast and saw various haha! good old Tijuana
