Last Monday we were getting on the bus to go home, and there was this young lady with this adorable baby and a ton of stuff in her hands. She was struggling to get in the bus so we asked if she needed help. She gladly accepted and tried to hand me her baby! AHHH I was like I can't hold babies haha but then she ended up handing me a bag, and it was a little strange... because it had a PUPPY in it!!! The puppy would not stop licking my face! So funny, but the lady was really cool and really wanted us to teach her. The only thing is she is not in our area... sad!

We also have one investigator who kinda scares me a little bit... she has a picture of one of our baptisms... from another Elder's facebook! But they love the church which is amazing! Also we met this new family last week and I LOVE THEM!!! They came to church this Sunday and they felt the spirit so strong. Plus all of her son's made friends at church. But my favorite part is when she shared her feelings on prayer in our Sunday school class and started crying. The spirit was so strong and you could just tell the Spirit was testifying of Christ's love for this Hermana. I love this Church!!!!

Earlier this week we were walking in our area and just talking and all the sudden I saw this dead possum in the road... and my companion almost stepped on it!!!! So funny, we could not stop laughing!!! Also this week it rained, HARD! We were in a members house and he told us he could drive us home, but unfortunately his car got stuck in one of the "rivers" and we had to wait for a bus. But we made it home safely.

One last thing. Weekends in the city are kind of crazy, but it makes it good for contacting. There are mini parks in the middle of the roads, and lots of people just sitting on the benches. So we usually meet lots of drunk people, which is kind of funny. They all give me the weirdest looks, like they haven't seen a white girl before. Haha! Well one night we witnessed a fight in the park which was really scary. Luckily we weren't too far from home and it was getting close to 9:30 anyway. But I know that the Lord is protecting His missionaries, and I feel truly blessed to serving a mission!

I love you all, and every one of you are in my prayers. I hope you have a great week!
