Just another week in Heaven!

Ya know, I really love being a missionary. Sometimes we will be walking and I’ll catch a glimpse of my name-tag out of the corner of my eye, and it makes me so happy that I´M HERE! I´M A MISSIONARY! And I just want to sing and dance! haha This is the greatest work I have ever done!

We had some pretty cool things happen this week. We had an emergency transfer, and guess who came to live with us? HERMANA FEDDOCK. MY COMPANION FROM THE CCM. I was so happy! I just missed her so much! haha

So, our district leaders called early this week for some numbers. Then told us that they were giving us ten minutes to make goals for numbers for the month of June. UM. haha Ten minutes!? That´s it!? So we got down and prayed. We made our list of people to reactivate, felt way good about it, then made our list of baptisms. We felt like we were missing 2 people, so we just put "2 more" on our list. But when the leader called back, we got really scared. We didn’t tell him those numbers. They were still on our goal list, but we left out the two extra in the call. We didn’t even have anyone to put on there! During our delivering of our numbers, someone kept calling us. Over and over and over! So when we ended our call with our leader, we called the other person back. It was Rasid Chambi, a member of the ward. He said "Hey, I have two people who just came to me today saying they want the missionary discussions, and want to meet with you guys on Friday night at 8." And we just CRIIIIIIEEED. Then we got on our knees and prayed. God sees the bigger picture even if we can’t. When we follow his will and his direction, we will see miracles. So Friday night we met with them. And they are SO PREPARED. Oh my word!! I can’t even describe the spirit that we felt during that first appointment. This is the Lords work! If that isn’t proof, I don’t know what is!

Also, we started feeling a tad sick and weak on Thursday night... all of us 4. We just thought it was because we ate a TON of food that day. Then Friday it was a bit worse... Then Saturday, we all woke up with stomach aches, headaches, and weaker than we have ever been. We can’t all have the same symptoms of the same disease if it was from food. We are in different areas, and eat different stuff. Well, it has also been raining. And our house is WAY HUMID inside... and, it leaks when it rains. So everything is constantly wet. So when we looked closer... we have mold. On.  Everything.  It wasn’t there Thursday, but it was there Saturday. My carry-on has mold, Hermana Willes has a moldy pillow, our doors and chairs and tables have mold, and our food went rotten. It hit like a whirlwind! We aren’t even messy! Our house if pretty dang clean for being in Bolivia! So we are looking for a new house. haha.  So stressfulllll.... But thankfully my mom makes this amazing smelling citrus thing she boils at Christmas time, so we took the good oranges and lemons we had and put them in a pot and boiled it. And opened windows so get fresher air, and left them open. It still isn’t good, and we freeze at night, but we feel better, so no worries!!
Oh the Joys of living in humidity :) This is wonderful, and I love it here. I love working. I love the people.  And I’m learning to love the language. I’ll get there one day! ;)

I love you all!!

Note from Mom. Alex said she was able to get something to make it possible to send pictures so expect pictures next week :) happy dance!
