Hey hey what's up! Hope everyone's doing awesome, I'm so stoked to be here for another P-Day hahaha. This week we had tons of success but just as many problems, I'll just get into it.
Crazy story was that one of the days we went to visit a person named Beatriz. When we got to her house, the door was already open and I could hear kids inside, but no one was answering the door. Right as we were about to leave though, a cop car pulled up next to us and Beatriz got out of the back seat... Fortunately she didn't do anything bad, she was actually the one that called them. We then got into her house, she talked about how dumb the police are, and then told us that today probably wouldn't be the best day to talk. Understandable ahaha
I also got to work in my first area during this week! Even though we're supposed to be covering two areas, we almost never go to Central just because we don't know what's going on down there lol. But we went this week and it was way nostalgic. We will probably not be going back though because we had no clue what to do lol.
Apart from that, we had something CRAZY happen with one of our investigators named Gaby. We met Gaby for the first time like 2 weeks ago. When we visited her a second time this week, we got in and asked her how she was doing. I asked her why she was only just okay and she told us that she had just separated with her husband of 9 years.... Because of us!!!!
They'd been having problems for a while, but when the husband saw us at the first visit we had with her, he told her after that she can't be meeting with us. SO, Gaby being the savage that she is, said that she loved us and what we were sharing, and that if he didn't like it he could just go.
So, he went, and all because he didn't like us missionaries.
Miracle of all this though was that Gaby got to come to church yesterday with her two sons that said they wouldn't be able to come!! AND, during the sacrament meeting, her 16 old son asked me how he could become a missionary someday too. This family is going places and I'm so sad that I'll probably have to leave them next week when transfers come. Oh ya, last Friday we also put Gaby on date to be baptized, what a beast.
Mini spiritual thought is to please just love everyone. Christ could have give us any commandment in the world, but instead he chose his two most important commandments to be Love God and Love your neighbor. Believe it or not, but loving others will make you happier too. Crazy stuff I know. Choose to make peace, choose to love. Those are two things that lots of people need down here.
Love you guys, peace out

No context this week, apart from the new mint flavored takis, good stuff
