ok remember at my first baptism when i was really mad because i had to sing a solo in front of like the 6 people that attended? well, hermana peterson and i had to sing a duet in front of the whole mayaguez STAKE yesterday. HAHAHHA. all the missionaries in the stake (so 6 of us) had to sing a musical number and APPARENTLY its not fancy enough if the hermanas dont sing a verse alone by themselves (according to every elder in this mission). so we sang divina luz and hermana peterson sang alto and i sang soprano and then the elders came in on the 2nd and 3rd verses. WHO WOULDVE THOUGHT that my 2 years of high school choir would help me so much on my mission. hahahahahhaha.
also. we have a SICK investigator named yamara who has come to church with her aunt the last 5ish sundays and is AWESOME. we taught her the restoration and she totally believes everything and loves going to church. she said "i know the day i get baptized WILL come, i just have to be patient because im very impulsive." but shes super awesome. AND, so she's an investigator from mayaguez and she offered to pick us up from cabo rojo, drive us to mayaguez to teach her, and bring us home at the end of the night when we're done working. AND she was like "i want to go with you guys to el faro next monday!!" so that'll be fun. yamara is saving our miles AND our p days!!!! shes awesome.
we also found DOLORES, an old investigator of HERMANA GREEEEENNN (SHOUTOUT) and shes super cool. we taught her the plan of salvation and when we got to the part talking about the spirit world she was all like "i feel like i KNOW this, like ive heard this before. i was just thinking about this about a week ago and i just KNOW this is true." yeeeahhh buddy. she totally believes the plan of salvation. but then she went off about how women should be able to have the priesthood hahaha. so once we fix THAT issue, she'll be GOLDEN.
in stake conference yesterday, they announced a new stake presidency and now both of the councilors are 2 of the bishops of the wards we are covering, so were gonna be going through that these next couple of weeks. so fun!
we are still working with jessica and tania. jessica's date fell because she didn't go to church yesterday :-) but shes still doing well. we just gotta get her to read the book of mormon. JUST READ THE BOOK!!! ITS NOT THAT HARD!!!!!! haha. i think that's every missionaries struggle...
today was SO FUN! we had a MISSION ACTIVITY!!! XD at el MORRO! since we are in the farthest area in the mission from san juan, we drove last night to ponce to sleep over there with the STLs to avoid having to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to get there on time :-) so this morning we left ponce at 6:30 to get to el moro at 8:30. and we played sports and chilled there for a while! it was so fun. old san juan is so cute and the weather was so nice and it was just HEAVEN. WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON THE PLANET *blessed* it was such a fun day.
