hi! we had a good week this week.
so milsa and abed and shauri are all so CUTE and THEYRE SO READY TO BE BAPTIZED.
abed is 9 and shauri is 10 and milsa is like 70 lol but theyre all the cutest and we love them.
on friday, our ward had a mothers day/fathers day party (more on THIS later) and we had to go
when it was 9, and so we left but on sunday, a member told us that milsa and the kids had come
after we left! and everyone treated them super well and gave them cake and ice cream and they
loved it. yay!!!!!! theyre so golden.

ok so the ward party. hahahahahah. so apparently it was like a talent show (that no one told us about)
so we got there and hermano valverde was like "hermana peterson is going to play two songs on the
piano!" and she was like ummmmmmmm ok. and then when she finished he was like "and as you all
know, missionaries are never alone. they always have a companion. and so now
hermana murphy is going to come up here and share her talent!" and i was like
ummmmmmmmm and everyone was laughing SUPER HARD because i did not want to go up.
but i did and he kept going "alright she is going to share her talent! im going to give her the mic
and she is going to do it" and i took the mic and said "no tengo talentos" and then hermana peterson
yelled "TELL YOUR JOKES!" (Because about two days before, i learned like 5 spanish jokes) so
i said "tengo un chiste!" and everyone got super excited. so i basically did stand up comedy at the
ward party. HAHAHAHAHAH. here are the jokes i told

this week we also had zone conference and it was SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD. like probably the
best zone conference ive ever been too. you could just FEEL the spirit like a slap in the face. we
watched president nelson's youth fireside talk thing and that was pretty fire. i just learned a lot and
had a lot of epiphanys. wowzies. and it was the day i hit a year in the mission. best cumpleanos present ever!

another major accomplishment from the week - so on mothers day, i told the fam how hermana peterson
and i run every morning, and they asked how much, and they werent very impressed with my answer. so
hermana peterson and i decided to start timing ourselves and increasing 30 seconds or a minute every day.
and on saturday we hit 20 MINUTES. WITHOUT STOPPING. YEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. it was AWESOME.
weve been talking about it ever since. it was a pretty big accomplishment.

hermana peterson and i are hoping for #5transfers together. (this week we hit 5 months of companionship,
and we have made a metaphor for this. being with a companion for so long is like running (Bc we're professional
runners now). theres a moment where you feel like youre gonna die, but you push through, and then you feel like
you can go forever HAHAHHA). that would be lit. but we have transfers next week and have no idea whats gonna
happen. but i love it here in cabo rojo and its seriously the best. the mission is just the greatest. ive learned a lot in
my year here and i have lots more to learn. but i think the thing that ive learned the best is just to trust in God and
his timing. his plan is perfect!
