So this week just went by so fast! So busy! Im living the missionary dream! We had so many appointments we didn't have time to go finding which I miss a whole lot. I told my comps we need to do it again cause I miss it so much. But its still been a great week! We have been meeting with Esai everyday and everyday he is getting so much closer to the gospel! I love seeing the change in people! Such a blessing for me for sure! 

On a totally none mission related note. I sounded like a complete idiot the other day. So we were buying some water and it was on the bottom of the cart and I couldn't pronounce the name of it so I told the cashier I was like and we have some water I think its called Knee A Gar A? and she just laughed. So I was so confused I got in the car and asked my Sis. Kramer and she was like it says Niagara.... so it was really awkward! Oh another funny story so I was saying the first vision which is always such an amazing experience the last line "Behold this is my beloved son, hear him" Totally said it in like a thick texan accent! it was so awkward! So dont worry Sis. Rose is still awkward the mission didn't change that one :)

Oh I just love the mission so so much! I am so so blessed to be able to be here and serve for a year and a half. Now that im getting closer to coming home I realize how lucky I truley am to be able to do this. And my testimony has grown so so much! I know without a doubt that the Book Of Mormon is true. I have seen it change so many people's lives and also my own! I just love it so so much! I cant explain it but I do!

Well howdy y'all! This has been crazy! WE got transfer calls and im staying in good ol Monahans! Im super excited I dont have to pack again... untill I come home but we wont talk about that one....

Anyway we also did a lot of finding again this week which was super fun! We haven't been able to see a lot of the people we are working with the past few weeks because they "work" I still dont really believe people go out and have normal jobs and not missionary work.. but I guess its their life! anyway...
We were able to see a few of them just for a few minutes this week and they have all been reading the Book Of Mormon! Yolanda is even reading 5 chapters a day! thats more than me!  Its so crazy how much power one little book can have. Oh I just love the Book Of Mormon so so so so much! I have been really trying to read it as much as possible and I have been able to see a big difference in the spirit I have with me as I teach. It really is so so so amazing! I wish I could just force everyone to read it! I know it would change the way the whole world works! In case you cant tell... I love the Book Of Mormon!!!!

In other news I have been getting bored on lunch and dinner breaks lately so I have found some wonderful places to hide in out apartment to scare sister Hymas... I do it everytime she comes out of the bathroom! Of its hilarious! Its gotten to the point that everytime she comes out she looks in the closet around every corner to make sure im not there... and I still find new places! Its hilarious! 

Anyway it was a good week! Thanks everyone for the birthday cards and stuff! I'll try sending pictures next week... the computer is being stupid again :)

Anotha year anotha dolla?

So if I could describe this week in one word it would be miracles! It really has been amazing. We went to a members house and she had one of her friends there that has been interested in the church for a long time. His name is Mondo. He was raised in the catholic church but denounced it because he started to see that things didn't make sense. Mondo has a lot of great questions but they are also a lot of deep questions so we are trying to teach him milk before meat so hopefully he will understand it more. When we taught him the first vision you could tell he felt the spirit super strong and knew it was true but then he was confused cause if it was true Heavenly Father and Christ are two separate beings. So we explained a little bit more about that. We are going to try to commit him to a date this week. We really are so excited about him.
We are also in the finding stage and I have learned that stage of missionary work is where I see the most miracles so I always get excited to go find. My companions think im crazy because I love knocking so much but it really is where you see blessings even if its not directly related to knocking.

So while we were knocking this week this goat pops outta nowhere and starts following us... Now In my head things with horns attack you. So Im terrified... anyway we were walking and this goat followed us a good mile down the road. He would stop and we thought we would loose him then we would hear his creepy little hoofs tapping on the road and we looked back and it was running at us.... I hated it... 

I tried sending a picture but it wouldn't let me. probably for the best we dont want to give y'all nightmares. 
LOVE YA!!!!
