Hey everyone!! I hope you're all doing amazing and that life is good! My week...was crazy, here are the highlights:
Zone conference on Wednesday!! It was so good and they talked a lot about how we need to focus on the good. About 98% of life is full of good, beautiful things and the other 2% is full of really hard things. But when we focus on the 2% it blocks out all of the 98%. And, surprise surprise, this is true. I realized I've been focusing a lot on myself recently and that just hasn't been very fun for me, it's actually made life a lot harder than it needs to be (oops) BUT I decided to not do that anymore and just focus on the good things and everything got so much better! So what it boils down to is: God is in charge and life is good 
Thursday, what a day! We had zone conference where we set an incredibly high monthly goal and I'm so excited to work hard and see miracles!! It's gonna be great! I also ate chicken feet. It was so weird, but they actually weren't that bad 
A member gave us dinner and he made soup with chicken feet in it and it was probably one of the weirdest things I've eaten...but he says he's going to feed us iguana or snake next time, so we'll see what happens.

Also on Thursday, we chased a dog. This is weird because usually the roles are reversed. But it was fun! We caught the dog eventually and returned it to it's owner. And then, on Saturday, we chased ANOTHER dog. So that was unexpected and thankfully both digs didn't get too far away!
On Friday we had exchanges and I went to the bike area with Sister Smith! Only, we decided that instead of biking we were going to take the bus and talk to the people on the bus. Great idea right? Theoretically, it was. First, we missed our stop because we were talking to this really cool guy! So then, we had to walk back into the area, which was fine, we got back to the area, we knocked on some doors, talked to cool people. And then...we missed the bus back...by a light 
So what do we do? We start walking because we have a lesson to get to (in about an hour and a half/two hours). And so we walk, and walk, and walk some more. We stop at a really nice, fancy bar/lounge place and they let us use their bathroom (a lot of people inside looked confused to see missionaries there 
) and we walk some more. It gets to the point where our lesson starts in 10 minutes and we're still 30 minutes away by foot. So we stop, and we kneel down on the sidewalk and Sister Smith (who is just AMAZING) says a prayer and we pray for a miracle and keep walking. And then, a car passes us and honks, so we start chasing the car and waving our arms to try to get them to turn around. And they do! And it turns out that they're a service missionary in our mission and they gave us a ride to the park! We got there right as our lesson was supposed to start. A literal miracle!! God is good and prayer works!

And He is there for each and every one of us because He love each and every one of us.
Love you all
