Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!

So, my mom always taught us to make stuff work.. or to get rid of it. And this past Monday my companion had a pile of skirts that either didn't fit, or she didn't like.... I asked her if I could see what I can do to help them so she can keep them, she said  yes, and WALA! My comp has 5 "new" skirts!! :) It was so fun to sit and try and figure out how I could better the skirts, how I can make them work so she can still use them!! I got all sorts of creative, and this week we are gonna try putting pockets in two of them!!:) We sisters here in Bolivia are making everything work!! :)

I had to give a talk yesterday in church... and guess what? NO microphone! So guess who got to speak loudly in a church for the first and probably last time?? This hermana!! Although, we still were told that the people in the back couldn't hear very well... But that´s okay!! :)

So two weeks ago, we rescued a woman named Daniela. She is soooo great! Then she told us she was starting school, so she wouldn't be able to go to church again for the semester. Our hearts broke.. Here we thought we had seen this grand change, and what? We were so confused. So we did a lot of praying... and the next Sunday, she didn't come to church. Our hearts broke... again... However, I kept praying for her. I knew she had changed. I knew she didn't want to go to school, I knew she wanted her kids to go to church, and her husband wont take them! Then, as I was giving my talk yesterday, I caught her eye. It was the most special experience ever. I asked her if she didn't have classes and she just looked at me, and said  "Some things are more important." I bawled like a baby! I am so glad she chose to keep the Gospel a priority in her life! This is such a wonderful blessing we have!!!

I love you all, And I hope you have a great week!

Love, Alex
