So last Sunday the branch pres was talking to my comp and ill admit, I was zoning... hardcore. And She said yes to something and said that I could do it. So not paying attention and having a bunch of eyes on me, I nodded my head. What. a. mistake...

hahaha not really mistake mistake, but I found out Saturday night that I was giving a talk in Church.... hmmm... thanks companion. hahhahaa no I was excited and dreading it, but I also had no time to prepare a talk.... hahah aoops.... And so my talk was about Missionary work... obvio... hahaha But this branch has not been helping us. Its a branch and we have 4 missionaries working their butts off...
So it might have been interesting because we had been fasting for a day to find new people to teach, we were exhausted and a little ticked with the members, and I stood up to give a talk in front of them. I had the spirit I know that... But everyones faces were a little bit.... like I brought down the hammer. hahaha my companion send I definetley gave a smack down but she said I did it with love... so I hope... But in lunch right after church... the member family we were with was giving us references and talking about how to help... almost frantically. Hey... I was tired, hungry, ticked, and I have the spirit with me... this is a deadly mix. Hopefully it helps this branch. THeyve been trying for 20 years to make it into a ward... we'll see. hahaha Don't mess with the missionaries..We're here to work.
But I serioulsy love the people here in the area. They are one of a kind. Every investigator we meet thinks we're part of the Menonites or the gypsies that live here.... its because I've got my long flowy latina skirts, and Im blonde. Its a weird combo. But Its a good way to start talking to people.
All of our investigators are baptized... so we're trying really hard to find new people.... This little city has about a million different churches. I've talked to literally EVERY type of religion. We have people from India, China, US, and gypsies from all over, so literally... we've got it all. hahaha
So pray that we can find some new people please.
But here's a photo of our fav converts... Raquel is 11 and her mama Cora.. they are SO HILARIOUS!! and Raquel is really shy.. hahaha so hard to get a photo. Cora said that my future husband is an africano.... eh never know... hahaha

I love this work with all my heart. And my testimony of what we put into it is what we get grew this week. Its up to us. If we're not puttin in the effort, GOd can't help us. But I also know that when we are prepared by reading the scriptures, and by praying constantly, we can have the spirit with us and be guiding by God.

In class yesterday someone said that people were talking to Pres. Hinckley about how many times people say prayers in one day. People were saying they had about 6 or 10 or 11 prayers everyday. And someone asked him how many he had. He replied "one... I say my prayer in the morning and end it in the night."
Pray constantly, in secret, and out loud. And always have a prayer in you heart.
I love you all MUCHO!!!
