Buenas Tardes!

This week:

 

AWKWARDS, INCOMODOS, Y CHISTOSOS

• So we always practice teaching in class with our companions.  The other day we started practicing with each other and my companion had just fallen asleep so she was totally out of it when we started, and I was the investigator first.  After we were finished we switched and I was supposed to be the missionary, but for some reason I forgot and I thought I was the investigator again so I pretended to open the door and I was just like 'hola!.....' and just sat there. Ok... I think you had to be there but it was SO funny we couldn't stop laughing
• fue un araña en el baño de chicas... we made our teacher (who is a male) go in and kill it for us. it was quite hilarious!
• The other night one of the hermanas who has a guy kinda waiting for her got a package from him with a shirt that he made for her... she spent all of our free time at night making us take pictures of her in it.  She is a way cool girl and is really down to earth and chill, but she was soo giddy it was hilarious, we were laughing all night.
• the other night us hermanas may or may not have missed a little bit of our gym time... .  So we decided to make up for it by stretching together.  My companion was in her bed half asleep and the other 3 of us were all doing this stretch on our closets and walls (it's the one where you lay down and put your legs up and stretch them like in the splits... it is such a good stretch but it looks sooo funny). Anyway... it was pretty hilarious to have us 3 all sitting there.  If someone would have walked in they would have gotten a good laugh.
• Sister Merrill, the wife of one of the men in our branch presidency came to visit us the other night.  The wives are supposed to come at 9:30, but of course she came after 10:00 and stayed until 10:29 which is one minute before our lights out.  She talked to us about the bachelor and politics...  ohhh I wish you all knew her, she is sooo hilarious.  It was a great night.

 

AWESOMES

• the temple! I had a really sweet experience there today.  Every time I go I learn more and understand more
• ok I don't have much time but I just want to share some thoughts from this week.  I have really been thinking about consecration and how we need to consecrate ourselves and give ourselves to the Lord.  Not just our time and our possessions... not just a sacrifice, but a consecration where we literally give our whole selves, where we open our hearts to him, humble ourselves, and follow the guidance of the Holy Ghost to devote everything we are to him.  Awhile back in RS the speaker related our missions to Jesus and the 12 apostles and how they were around the Savior all the time, and Judas still betrayed him.  It seems crazy, but it is so possible and is actually easy to be in such good situations and surrounded by so much light and still not let that light into your life.  The important thing is that it's up to you and your attitude, and if you open your heart to it and let it in, it will completely change you.  So I challenge all of you to make sure your heart is open to the light in your life!  There is light all around us and if we open our hearts to it and let it in, it will create something incredible of us.  By ourselves we can only be the best person that we can be, we can only create a 'great man'.  But with the Lord's help... he can create a God.

 

Thank you everyone for all of your support!! Happy Birthday to Dusty today :) the big 25!
