swag - April 16, 2018

hi! im emailing so early because i have to go to the dentist in bayamon today :-) fun p day! but anyways, we had a gooooood week!

so luis is now on date for the 28th of april! hes great. we taught him twice this week and he came to church yesterday! we brought obispo cruz with us both times because luis has a lot of super deep questions obispo can answer them haha. but we have super good lessons with him. we taught him on thursday and left him 1 nephi 8 to read (about the tree of life) and he told us yesterday that they talked about that chapter in the priesthood class and then he read it after church and it all made so much sense! it was cool. and he has refused to say the prayers in our lessons UNTIL YESTERDAY and he FINALLY said the closing prayer and it was so good. A++ prayer. and he asked us "what days have you come? like the exact dates? i want to write them in my book of mormon" :''') so nice. also so his girlfriend is silvian cupeles and her sister is robilain and theyre both preparing to get their patriarchal blessings. but they can't find robilain's records in the church system so she needs to find her baptismal date or something but if they cant find it bishop says that she has to get rebaptized HAHAH. and luis was like "just get baptized with me on the 28th!" hahah so MAYBE we'll have two baptisms! hahahah.

this week we had MLC and it was sooooo good! we talked a LOT about recieving revelation, based on the conference talks from a couple weeks ago. i felt very young there because i was the youngest missionary there by at long time and it was intimidating hahaha but i learned so much. basically im a NEW WOMAN! hahaha. just everything now is pointing to us becoming more "spiritually self reliant" through recieving our own revelation and its super important. i love the smarts. theyre so smart. 

hahah. funny stories about hermana morales. so this week we brought her to a lesson with benji and jorma. and benji was like I DONT WANNA GET MARRIED and hermana morales just looked at him and goes "YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE! YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING TOGETHER FOR 6 YEARS YOURE BASICALLY ALREADY MARRIED" and then she started talking about how she can plan the whole wedding and get jorma a dress and put flowers in her hair and give benji a tie and shell help them find a ring and it was soooo funny. and on friday she called and asked for benji's phone number and i asked why and she said "es un secreto!" and i asked why again and she said "encontre un vestido para jorma!" hahahha. and then on SUNDAY i walked into sacrament meeting and they were sitting next to eachother so i went to sit by them and i saw that hermana morales had brought a thing to measure benji's ring size hahhah. shes gonna make this wedding happen. MEMBER SUPPORT!

last night we were looking for this one guy in this huge urbinization and couldnt find him and were about to go home and we turned the corner and found this family of SEVEN KIDS. JACKPOT. AHHAHA. theyre very active in their own church (for now) and theyre all homeschooled and basically the PERFECT MORMON FAMILY! when we left hermana peterson and i just both looked at eachother like :O so we're gonna baptize them.

obispo cruz got released yesterday and we were like NOOOO but he was like "dont worry! youre still like my daughters" hahaha YES. maybe now he'll have MORE time to come out and teach with us. yesssss. 

on saturday we had a lesson with miriam and the zone leaders came because we literally have no idea what to do ha ha ha and it was a suuuuuuuuper good lesson on the holy ghost and the sacrament and she UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING but then she told us about how her husband doesn't want her to come to church and since she has to take care of him she can't just leave in the morning to go to church because she has to give him breakfast and stuff and get him ready for the day and if he refuses to get up early she can't do anything :( but she was like "ill be there tomorrow!" but then she didnt come :'( so yeah. thats that. sad. president smart is going to visit her with us this week.

S/O to hermana GREEN who came to cabo rojo this week. its been a good time. LOVE HERMANA GREEEEEN! 

well we're gonna head off to bayamon soon for my SUPER FUN DENTIST APPOINTMENT! have a good weeeeek!
