una semana de locuras!

Hola familia!

my companion`s computer isn`t working, so i`m going to let her use
this one, so it`s just gonna be a quick email.

so this week was great! we had our zone activity this friday, which
consisted of a morning where all the missionaries in the zone (18
missionaries, including the senior couple) in different parts of the
area knocking doors and talking to people on the street, then we ate
lunch and prepared the chapel for the talent show we would have that
night, then we went for a couple hours to do another finding activity
in the plaza. we asked people to write on the whiteboards, and finish
the sentance. "because he lives..." i can be with my family forever.
stuff like that. it went really well! and it was really fun. then we
had our talent show. and lots of members came and participated, and we
even had some investigators there too! it went over really well.

oh, just kidding. my comp`s comp is working now, so it`s all good.
chill out everyone.

A really special experience happened yesterday. We were walking home
after a great visit with a new investigator, and this soccer ball
comes flying out in the street. so i go after it and return it to the
family who was playing soccer in their yard, a couple kids and their
grandpa. I felt like i should talk to them, so we start up a
conversation, and it turns out basically their whole family are
members, but havn`t been to church in ten years or so. we started
sharing the regular stuff like how we would like to help them
strengthen their faith in christ, and how we have to continue
following god`s plan for us and endure to the end, and then i get this
feeling that i should talk about my family. Well that`s easy! i love
talking about you guys. :) i shared about how i come from a big
family, with lots of girls, and a couple brothers. and then i
mentioned how jorge and alicia are adopted from ecuador. I went on to
explain how we all dressed in white and were sealed together in the
temple, and shared how beautiful the experience was. then the question
came to mind. "did you ever have the opportunity to go to the temple?"
he said no. so we started talking about temples and how blessed we are
to have them here on earth and be able to make those special covenants
inside both for ourselves and our ancestors. and his heart really
opened! he started talking about how it says in the bible the work we
have to do in the temples and those things, and in the end we shared a
family history pamphlet with him, and he told us we could come back
another night. It was so great! I love miracles like that.

Well, not a whole lot more happened this week because when we weren`t
planning for the activity, or activity-ing, we were cleaning up. so we
didn`t meet with as many people as we would have liked. but the
activity went really well! for reals. it was great.

Oh! and for the activity we finally bought a chord for the keyboard!
so yesterday i played the piano in sacrament meeting! the only thing
is that one of the keys doesn`t work. guess which one? just take a
wild guess. yep, middle c. I dare you to try and play "I stand all
amazed" without middle C and make it sound good. anyway, so it was
fun.

Welp, i guess that`s everything. you guys are the best! thanks for
everything! have a great week!
