Upcoming Baptism and A cow's Stomach

Hey hey hey fambalina and friends!

This was good. Some pretty cool experiences! But I don't have much time but basically the famliy Vasquez want to get baptized!!! Yaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sosooooo excited! My smile is past both ears. I´ll be smiling all the way up until I see them get baptized! It is a definite blessing and the most incredible experience of my life! Couldn't be happier!  I got to talk to Hna Cervantes and she talked to the President and got permission to come to the baptism!!!! She will be coming early in the morning, we´ll go to the Temple together, have the baptism and eat at a members house! Wooooow! This will all be happening on the 6th of December. But as we all know Satan works super hard especially when its close to a baptism. If you could all pray your hearts out for this family and for my companion and I that we can help them all the way up until this day, it would be greatly greatly appreciated!!!
One quick thing that happened this week is I ate the inner lining of cow stomach or live or something like that....It was the nastiest taste I have ever had in my mouth! The texture was literally like eating mud and with every bite I piled it with tortillas and lettuce and avocado and I could still taste it. I'm sorry but it was disgusting, I'm going to be honest haha. But other than that my week was great :)

Love you all and have a great week

This is a view from my area!

This was in Copoya! Cool huh. Its a huge cross of Christ, like in Rio, Brazil 

By the way everyone..I teach english classes! These are my students and the mom of one of them baught all this food for my birthday and we had a little party...awww it was so sweet

We had a friend in the house and he literally would not move. We got that close to him and he just stayed there like a statue! It was crazy! Then we tried slamming the door just to see if he would move but he didn't. 

 

Testimony and Birthday Smash

This week was great! We worked super hard and saw lots of miracles! I love being a missionary even if its super hard and I miss all my family and friends back at home. But, the things that I see, hear, witness and feel make it all worth it. 

This week our family told us that they are receiving answers to their prayers and that this form of prayer; they have a testimony of it! The dad and girls told us that they know this church is true...They will be baptized on the 6th of December. I have always wanted to see someone change through using the Atonement and to see the book of Mormon change lives and prayer and basically this church change lives. I am seeing it with this family. 

I have a testimony of this church. I know it is true and I know that the Atonement is real. If we really want to change and learn to make the right decisions we need to follow the principles of the Gospel. I know it is true and I encourage each one of you to try it in your lives. Even if you have a testimony; we should always be trying to strengthen it. 

I love you all and miss you so much! But I have 9 more months of work to do and cant wait to see what more is in store! 

My birthday was great and I got my face smashed into 2 cakes...haha I have videos of both. One was from the ward and the other was from our family!! It was super sweet of both of them and I felt super special. We had an activity as a ward on my birthday and it was super cool and powerful! It was a great birthday! Thanks to everyone that wished me happy birthday! It was a great day! But wooooow! 20 years old?! Its weird. haha. 

Love you all!
