Mannnny Miracles

This week was filled with Miracles. So, Tuesday was our knocking on doors day, and  that rocked! We found a young man who lives with his siblings, his name is German! He just eats up whatever we teach him! He loooves learning about the gospel, and cant seem to get enough. We cant come back and teach him again as quick as he would like. haha. He is a stellar kid. Then, we felt like we needed to go teach one of our old investigators again... and MIRACLE. She understood everything we told her. She understood the importance of attending church, the importance of baptism, the miracle of the restoration, why it is sooo important that we follow Jesus Christ. Seriously, she rocks. She is getting baptized! Then Helen, the lady I talked about last week, well..... GONZALO LEFT HER!! He is goooone! So now she can get baptized! She is a tad heartbroken, but it is being filled with her excitement for her baptism on the 7th! She seriously rocks. Small miracles, but enough that... man. The Lord will help you in your life. No matter what.

I had the chance to see Hermana Hiskey twice this week! She was my best friend in the CCM, and I miss her like crazy! But TWICE I got to see her! haha We had a conference that was an answer to my prayers. I´ve been struggling with the dead guy I saw. I keep having nightmares, and I the image would keep popping in my head at random points during the day. Then Hermana Willard talked on how important it is to control our thoughts. And I thought of some ways that I can help myself not think so much on this Dead Guy. And so I tried them. AND THEY WORKED. Sometimes, the Lord requires us to make an even GREATER effort in our lives before we recieve the answer to our prayers. I absolutely love it here.

All the guys here whistle at us... Im not a fan. Number one, I´m a missionary. I´m not gonna respond to your whistles or nasty english phrases. Number two, even if I wasn't a missionary, I´m not a dog either. sooo..... Yeah. I¨m learning to tune it out. I sing a lot in the streets as we are walking. It helps me not notice it! haha and it helps me learn the spanish hyms better!

It was freezing this week. there´s utah cold, then there´s  our window leaks when it rains and so our house floods and then freezes because of the cold.. cold. haha I wore four pairs of pants to bed last night. and three pairs of socks. and four shirts, and my scarf and hat... and my winter coat as an extra blanket. Humidity makes the cold... SO COLD. hahaha

Anywho, it was a week filled with miracles, and there was many times when I knew the Lord was watching over me. Hermana Willes told me the first week that the Lord will show me every day that he loves me. sometimes I may have to look for it, but he will show me. and it is so true. as the day goes on, I look for things to write in my miracle journal, and I find that the day feels better if I do that.

The Lord loves you! I promise! Have a great week everyone!

Note from mom,
As much as we are all dieing to see pictures from Alex they might be a while in coming. For some reason the computer she gets to use won't recognize that her camera is plugged in or is having other difficulty. She is going to try her companions camera with her SD card next week in hopes that that will work but if not we may have to wait for her to be moved to a new area before we see pictures.  Sad day! When we do get them though I will do my best to go back and add them to the posts they belong to, or maybe if I can't tell what goes where I may just have one big long post full of pictures. Hopefully she can get this figured out soon since this has been a problem since arriving in Bolivia. As for me, I'm going to start praying that she can get the technical problems worked out so I can see my baby girl again.
