Day: 1,624
Pushup Count: 142
Hola mi gente! Como ha estado todo? Not gonna lie, this was a long week. Here's some of lo que pasó:
- We got stuck at a member's house until 10 pm and I wanted to die from exhaustion
- I cut my own hair
- We hung up a couple million English class flyers
- We met a few different people living in pretty rough circumstances - don't take anything for granted!
- Someone answered the door and said "hello, how can I NOT help you today?" and proceeded to slam the door. We later found out that he's a really bad person so that probably the best we could have asked for 
- We finished weekly planning in a whopping 2.5 hours
- We had an absolutely wild lesson with our 9 year old recent convert, and he had us cracking up so hard
- I got to finally taste Cleon's famous fried chicken, and yes, it was just as good as everyone says
- We went by an inactive member's house and I relearned all the swear words 
- I held one of only 20 fluffy pugs in the world while I taught a lesson
- Someone in the park actually spoke Spanish and actually talked to us! She said that she had actually met missionaries before in Oregon, and she gave us her number, which was super cool
- We went by an inactive family and they fed us and gave us hot chocolate 
- We had no Spanish members or recent converts at church yesterday 
- We ran into the same roofing workers twice and then asked if we were following them lol
- Some guy let his own dog out and then blamed us and yelled at us to leave when we offered to help...
- "Yeah, but the other churches aren't real!"
This week has been a lot of ups and downs — a montaña rusa (roller coaster) you could say. We've been working so hard to find and it hasn't amounted to much yet, but I'm super grateful for the friends that we do have and the people we've been able to succefully visit this week. I think my Spanish ability is improving, even though I don't get a ton of practice. I'm praying for all of you and I hope that you all feel mi amor por ustedes!
Spiritual Thought
If you haven't read Alma 7:11-13 recently, do it. We share this scripture all the time and I absolutely love it. Don't forget what Christ did for you and don't forget how much he loves you!
Love,

Fotos - not many this week, I promise I'll get better at taking them!
