AHHHHHHHHHH PRESTON GETS HERE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Tuesday, they told us, again, that we don't have transferrs.. I hope they weren't lying, cause we have 3 BAPTISMS for the 9 of November. I'm soooo stoked. They announced it in church yesterday, AND we enter our new chapel the 10. woot woot.
Happy halloweenie this week. day of dead, whatever ya wanna call it.
Ok story time..... Wednesday at like 1 in the morning I woke up with huge stomach pains, and threw up for 20 mins straight, talk about bulimic. anyways, in the morning I was like, hey compa, I'm like kinda dying, so sorry. and she was like you need to rest, and I was like, no lets go, I'm on fire. haha so we left.... after lunch, which I was stupid enough to eat, I threw it all up. delish. and then we went to teach a lesson.... yeah I was like, so I don't wanna throw up in the Book of Mormon so can I use your bathroom... yeah, after that we called the nurse and she was like, take this this and this. and drink lots of water.. and I was drinking lots of water but couldn't keep it down, so that was nice, so she said, go to bed before you drop over dead... I slept for almost 24 hours straight... minus the times I woke up to throw up... NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I THROWN UP SO MUCH... gross I know. sorry, not sorry... Thursday I woke up and ate a piece of bread and drank some water, and was like, yup lets go, so we left again, after lunch, which was soup, I threw it up. But I'm alot better now, and everybody in the world was calling and asking if I was still alive.... funny thing is, Elder Taylor is going through what I went through now. hahahah sucker.
One day, we went to the convinient store, and I asked if he had eggs..... which is saying, hey do you have balls... my comp and him bust up laughing and he was like yes of course... and I was like, crapppppp WHAT DID I SAYYYYYYYYY..... then my comp told me after, so as you can tell, I'm STILL working on my spanish... hahahahahahah hope y'all enjoy that....
We had divisons with the Hermanas in Tres Rios again. I was with Hermana Salas, again. which I am totally okay with, she is super great. Anyways, she didn't really have much to say, only that the president, assistants, zone leaders, and district leaders are pleased with all the work we are doing, and to keep it up... we are hoping it stays that way for a while. Not to be prideful or anything, butttttttttt, I'm pretty happy as well. haha
Soooo we were teaching Juan Carlos, and he asked us, "if I know that I'm suppose to get baptized, but don't, what happens?" uhhh yeah... we let him know straight up what happens... but he accepted a date, once again for the 9th. Which is the same day the dad of the bishop gets baptized!!! It's a day of baptisms for his family.... WOOSHH!!! and they don't have any doubts now, which is great, cause we were scared there for a minute.... but they decided to annouce it at a birthday party in their house with THE WHOLE family there... people were crying, cause it took Padre Juan 14 years to actually have the desire.
So we had 5 investigators at church yesterday. That's the most that anybody in the zone had this week. It was a little tough, but we did divisions with members and got everybody rounded up and went to church. The bishop taught the class for them, and it was about faith... remember that email I sent about the young women in our ward who was dumb to pray for trials, and got them? yeahhhhh, the bishop said that when you pray for patience, you are actually praying for something that you will learn to develop patience.... I AM SO DUMB. I AM NEVER PRAYING FOR PATIENCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like, hey Padre Celestial, give me patience, and he is like okay Hermana Boer, here is a triall for ya. and I'm like. CRAP. I'm learning. BUT I also read in the Liahona, that trials are nessessary for our salvation... sooo I'm kinda wishy washey about it right now. hahahahaha but he then asked a question about how many animals Moses took on the arc when the flood came... and everybody was like, 2 of every kind. and I was dying.... cause it wasn't Moses, it was Noah. hahahahaha. he was like, yeah have faith, amen. haha
Today, we went to Elkis house again to eat, it's like the hangout place for the missionaries. I'm cool with that... we had a lot of fun,,, we just chilled, and this Columbian thinks its cool that I can give shoulder rides. so I did that a couple times to her, cause she weighs like 60 pounds, then threw her down on the couch. haha she thinks it is the funniest thing... I'm losing my strength big time, now my back hurts. hahah
I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but how cool would it be to have the scriptures of the prophet.... just keep that in mind... or ask grandpa Trimmer for me... ;) hahaha
Ok, I LOVE this talk by Elder Holland... I read it almost every other day at night... its called Justice and Mercy of God. HOLY CRAP. it's so amazing. I can't even tell ya... just read it, and think about it. we aren't perfect, and sin a lot... but that's why we are here. to repent and become like Christ. and how merciful is God.... wow...
Here are some nice scriptures to read and think about as well.... Luke 14:12-24 and Matthew 5:38-48. I love these scriptures, and all the parabols of Christ, in the bible. Do what you know you are suppose to do. Serve others and love others.
If you are wanting more spiritual stuff in my emails, ask me. but I try to keep those on the down low, cause they are spiritual. So if ya want a personal one, that will make your day better, I'm okay with that.
ps. I'm not as funny as I once was... its sad...
anyways... love ya alll.
hope ya edit this. hahahaha
