hello everyone back home!!!

This week was both really good and really bad! so im going to tell the bad news for just so that the good news sounds better. 

1 i lost my debit card. (but don't worry i found it and i will tell the story. it was a huge testimony builder for me.) (holy crap my spanish is kicking in because i don't know how to spell english words anymore.)

2 i learned a lot of rules that my companion didn't tell me about and the zone leaders were ticked at us. 

3. Me and my companion got into a huge fight( but we are all better now.)

4. we had a little bit of success and a lot of success it's hard to explain but i will do my best.

ok so the story about my debit card. so monday i went to go check to see if i had some money on my card in the atm. when i was done i put my card back in my wallet and left. so on friday at our comida(meal) we at with a memeber that live right next to a bank. so Elder Marin decides that he wants to check his card once more. so i decied heck why not ill check mine too. i went to pull out my card and it wasn't there. i was ticked!!! so when we got home on friday night we ranscaked the house looking for it. it wasn't there. so i was about to email back home today to have you send me a new one. but as we were walking to the church when we were passing soriana (the convient store right next to our house) i got a feeling to ask if it was there. i shrugged it off and said it wouldn't be there. that happened 2 more times. one the third time i turned to my companion and said:

Allsup: ´´hey tengo un sentimiento que mi tarjeta esta en soriana.´´ (i have a feeling my card is in soriana)

Marin: ´´bueno vamos´´ (ok lets go)

the whole time i was asking heavenly father to have it be there or to have mom be understanding about the situation. so we went in and they had it. they said that i had left it in the atm and walked away. i was so happy and i feel so blessed to know that i am worthy to have the spirit in my life to direct me where to go. 

2. so there were a whole punch of rules that i didn't know about that when me and the zone leaders went on exchanges got upset that i wasn't following. but the reason why he was upest was because he thought that i knew about those rules. but when in all reality i didn't know and it was my compaions fault. so he chewed him out pretty good. and the reason why we got in a huge fight is because of what happened with the zone leaders. but on thursday after our weekly planning session we talked about it and we are the best we have ever been.

4. ok so on monday through thrusday we had terrible numbers. we taught hardly anyone and our one of our investigators went and moved and no one knows where to or even how to get a hold of her. so we are devistated about that. but on friday all of our citas (appointments) followed through and we were on fire. and saturday and sunday our numbers fell through again. i was ticked about all those day except friday. anyway that is how we had success and didn't have success.

so saturday it rained really hard and i didn't have my umbrella (don't worry i have pictures) but i found out that my backpack is waterproof! so that's good. but none of our citas followed through. but it's ok i had fun in the rain. well that's all for this week love you all!
