Oh *BLEEP*... You Speak Spanish??

Hellllloooooo my people! Another week zoomed by, here are some of my miracles/highlights of my week...check em out! 

A huge toad- We got back from our appointments one night and Hna Miller like yelled and was yelling at me to come over and see this huge toad. So of course I picked him up and tried kissing him...but didn't put my face too close to his. But then he peed all over the concrete hahaha
I guess I have that effect on toads.
Edgar and his cars- This guy is pretty interesting haha he told us we're his friends because he can literally count his friends on his hand. But he's been reading the book of Mormon. He also has like a bunch of really cool cars. I mentioned that a couple of weeks ago. But he also has a huge collection of hot wheels cars. He gave me 10 of them! Hahaha to start my own collection...lowkey wished they were all real though. But we also asked him to be baptized this week. He said yes but when the time is right. Bro...the time is now! But we're working on our patience with him. He's pretty nice to us. He also came to church again!!
Our videos-This week we made some videos for the Facebook pages. Like I don't want to sound prideful...but they came out pretty good. We made one about our "roots" from our ancestors. We also used plants...because they have roots.
And the second one is all about the power of the Book of Mormon and the Bible. They can help us overcome evil in the world. That one is one of my favorites. We used different backgrounds from all over Zapata and it definitely catches your eye.
ADOLFO-THIS GUY IS GOING TO BE SUCH AN AMAZING BRANCH PRESIDENT. Like I mentioned last week he has a baptismal date for November 19th. Luckily...or I guess hopefully I'll still be here for that. But he reads his scriptures and he comes to church everytime he's in town. We talked to him about callings this week and how important it is to serve in the church after we're baptized. He told us he would be honored to have a calling. We flipped out we were so happy. Hahahha
Carlos- Okay Carlos is 73 years old and he calls us Mija...WHICH IS MY FAVORITE WORD THEY USE HERE. But we had a lesson with him and he has a bit of a mouth so he'll slip some swear words in here or there. He's old so like it's kind of okay. Hahahaha
But I said it's my turn to pray and I told him I'll do it in Spanish because he speaks both. That's where the title of my email comes from... Oh ****, you speak Spanish?? He yelled that after I said I'll pray in Spanish haha
We both though he was going to fall out of his chair because he was so astonished. Hahahha it was hilarious. And his dog is my new best friend.
We saw Alan!!!!- Alrighty so everytime we have a lesson with Alan it's through phone call. And we've never seen his face because well I guess we never asked. But even on our church zoom calls he always had his camera off. So we were getting pretty worried that he was like a major creep. But then one night he suggested having our lesson over zoom call. AND WE FINALLY SAW HIS FACE. And he's not creepy so yayaayayay!!!
Lisa and Jorge-We found this name on area book that looked really cool so the spirit smacked us in the face and told us we need to go visit them. So we tried by last week and saw their two sons. Then we tried by this week and they let us right in. There is Lisa, Jorge, Junior, Rene, and George. They are so amazing!!!!! And she was making Carmel apples and gave us some. They were pretty flipping yummy. They have had missionaries come before but they stopped when Covid hit. But they were so happy to see us. We were actually able to show them the video we made and invited them to church and they are so excited for us to come back. GOD IS BLESSING US SO HARD. I actually gave a training this week in district council about finding families to teach. I told everyone to pray for a specific number of people to find because that has happened to me so many times. My comp prayed to find a family of five and BOOM we did!!!! How amazing! ๐Ÿ’™

That's basically how my week was. We've been trying to go by tons of members to get them coming back to church again because a ton of people have gotten lazy and haven't found the need to go back again. But we actually had a quite a chunk at church like almost 20 haha we were pretty happy about that too.
God loves you and I know that for a fact. If you need help he's there, he won't ever let you fall.
And I'm also here is you need anything. Let me know:)
The church is definitely true. And I know Jesus is my homie. He's my amigo.

Stay 2 legit 2 quit out there.
Con todo mi amor,
Hermana Darling ๐Ÿ’™
