COMO ESTAN!!!!??? ESPERO QUE TODO ESTE BIEN!!!
It is Thursday - long story = Presidents Day, comp was sick, zone conference, sorry you had to wait!! Boy, I am so out of it, so so so tired, in such a daze, so I am going to try to tell you about my week plus four more days... but I don't know if I am going to remember any of it. Lo siento.
Here was the amazing, wonderful, spectacular part of my week. WE WENT TO THE TEMPLE!!!! Wow, the DC temple is something else! It is B E A U T I F U L : ) I had spent the entire week studying about the temple, the importance of going there, covenants and anything and everything I could think of to study so that I was able to have a extra special experience. I have been going through temple withdrawls! It is hard not being able to go! So, I tried to make sure to make this temple trip super nice so that it will hold me over for 6 more months. It was amazing! JUST AMAZING!!!
Lets see... I also played a LOT of ping pong and we went bowling! It was a fun fun fun week :)
Francesca drew this awesome picture of us! Haha! M is for Mangum! Pretty tall there :) And I let 3 year old Cindy paint my nails.
The weather here has been CRAZY. Horribly awful. Sweet baby you guys. Por ejemplo, yesterday it was 6 degrees outside. But that isn't even the worst part. The worst part is the wind. WOWZA!!! We were doing studies in the morning and it just sounded like a never ending semi truck was driving past our window. The winds got up to around 50 or 60 mph. We didn't back down though - we had some great miracles while street contacting in this devil weather. We got 2 return appointments from knocking on doors. We also found an old investigator who got lost when the elders were transferred out a year before!
Hermana Orton and I have been pretty sick this week. Last Monday, after emailing y’all... I started to feel nasty! We had just been at a members house and had eaten the HOTTEST, SPICIEST soup know to mankind. Right when we walked in their house my eyes hurt and I could barely get it down me. Well, later that night it all came back up. I threw up that soup over and over and over again. It was even hotter!!! My throat was on fire and I was MISERABLE! Not to mention my jaw is still locked and I had to reschedule my appointment.
Hermana Orton got sick too and she spent all of Tuesday this week throwing up. I was bored beyond bored. It gave me some time, hours and hours and hours, to just sit on the ground and think. I started to get homesick and it stunk because I couldn't just get to work and get my mind off of it. But, I had a really cool experience. I was down, I wasn't too happy, I started to get really down on myself. But, the Lord helped me out. I was going through my stuff and I found the letter that you had written me a while back, Mom. I started to read it and it told me exactly what I needed to hear! You told me that Satan is always trying to get us when we are down. I was definitely down a few times this week- physically, emotionally! That is when Satan puts in the most effort on us because he knows we will easily give in to those negative thoughts. I was quickly able to pull myself out of it and hopped right back on the wagon! Thank you mom!
Love you guys!!! Hope ya know that :)
