My Face is a weather Predictor (Week 57)

 Gooood afternoon! I hope everything is going well and that you all are enjoying the fall weather  It's still pretty hot here (one day was in the 90s) but it as starting to cool down!

My week in bullet points: 

 Last Monday 2 missionaries got mildly injured (they're fine) but they happened to both be bike missionaries which means there are no bike missionaries in our zone

 On Tuesday we had zone conference and all the missionaries in the IE got together and it was so fun! And it was also Hna. Piers birthday so we ate cake! 

 Also on Tuesday we had a lesson with our friend Eva who is ️AMAZING️ We taught her about the restoration and she was sooo interested. I'm excited to keep teaching her! 

 Wednesday and Thursday we ate at 8pm because our sweet member was working until 7:30, but still really wanted to feed us  The whole dinner both times was spent talking about her kids, it was so precious 

 Thursday we had Book of Mormon class  it was good

 Also Thursday, we got a text from the Assistants to the President asking if we like to bike 

It was followed by a call from them in which they explained that they need people on bike and how they want it to be us...

 On Friday we had interviews with president and we tracted a lot and found 3 really cool people! One of them came to church with his wife this Sunday which was epic!

 Saturday was absolutely PACKED with lessons! They also dropped off our bikes 

 Sunday was our last day with a car and the primary program! It was sooo cute - could I understand what they were saying? No, no I could not - but it was cute!

Also on Sunday we visited a member family and I asked their son who was wearing turkey slippers "te gusta polvo?" instead of "te gusta pavo?" One means, do you like turkey the other unfortunately means "do you like dust?" So I asked a 7 year old if he likes dust and we all got a good laugh out of it! It just goes to show that everything is a learning process! It's scary to try new things, especially when you don't really know what you're getting into, but the best way to learn is by making mistakes. I can confidently say I now know the word for turkey in Spanish, and if I didn't make the mistake, I wouldn't! So take a chance, make mistakes, and rely on God to get you through it all! 

Love you
