Lile actually so full haha we were really struggling trying to have time to find people to teach but we put another baptism date this week with the cutest lil grandma haha she told me she was gonna but me a real life elephant because i told her why my ne favorite animal is an elephant haha but i told her she couldnt do that haha and she kept on insisting and finally settled on saying okay maybe not a real life one because i told her idk how to take care of an elephant haha This week we had a district meeting in san José and it was really good but after with when the bafoonary started haha so we get to the terminal and we but our bus tickets and elder santos whos from Brasil found a claw machine and imediatly started trying to win something from the game haha and he kept losing and so everyone started to pitch in to win something...probably like 15 tries later we won a little doggie and we named it chichi haha it was súper fun and then some drunk guy came up to us and was like woahhh you guys won! And so we started talking to him because we're nice haha and then this man started talking about some pretty wild stuff and tried to kiss me at one point but then elder Fernández saved me haha and like pushed the guy away haha and then the guy was like hey i was trying to marry her 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and then we changed the subject and said which bus are you trying to take and he was like that one and he started pointing at the one that was leaving and we were like well your gonna miss it!! And well he missed it and was like it doesnt matter, i just like the chica and so the elders like hed him off so us hermanas could get on the bus and then they quick got on the bus too but 😭 it was so crazy this man hahahahahahaha Also this week we found a goat haha it my first goat in the mission haha but we named it bili!!

THE ONE WHERE WE'RE OUT HERE LIVIN ON A PRAYER!!!!!!

OOOOOOOO WE'RE HALF WAY THEREEE OOOOOOHHHHHH LIVIN ON A PRAAAYYYEERRR!!!!!!! In casé you didnt know hahaha I hit 9 months this week!!! Que loco no? Anyways this week was pretty good!!! We found a couple more people to teach and we taught a lot of charlas and the best part ELDER UCHTDORF CAME!!!! The conference with him was so good!!! So we took all mission picture with him and it was sooooo awesome haha he said we came in and lined up better than the other mission and that that makes us cooler haha soooo that was a huge compliment for us haha and after the picture when we all left, we got to shake his hand and when he shook my hand, he took my hand with both hands (which he didnt do with others) and he looked me dead in the eyes and he said thank you for your faith and for being a great missionary, and that was that!!!! HE TOOK MY HAND WITH HIS TWO HANDS PEOPLLLLEEEEEE!!!! HAPPY 9 MONTHS IN THE MISSIONNNNNN TO MEEEEE JAJAJAJA!!!!! Haha no but for real tho the conference with him was actually amazing! He talked a lot about how we should have more confidence to invite people and just do it, because bueno a lot of us like to think about whats gonna happen if we do things in a certain way so we think of another way to do it, and basically he said "dont prejudge the reaction, just invite and leave the decisión to them" so that was something that was really powerful. Another thing he said that was really important was that he talked about a lot of the people who repent and then still feel bad about what theyve done and they wanna know why that have to remember what it is that theyre done and why it still hurts...well the answer is in D&C 58:41-43! The promise is, that when we repent the Lord forgets what we've done, he doesnt promise that we'll forget or that we'll feel better, but we can and will feel of the joy of the atonement when we forgive ourselves. Its really awesome to hear the words of an apóstol in person!!! We also had the new missionary conference this week and Presidente told us "si quieren cambiar algo, pues bien, hágalo ya" which basically is like if you wanna change, thats good, just do it then haha i love this man hes so blunt sometimes and its great and i love it because it makes me laugh 😂😂 but anyways this is what i have for the week (: hope yall have a good one!!! Hermana Anderson 1. I found a horse man!!! Couldnt ride it cause thats against the rules but i got to walk it around! 2. Kate!!! 3. Selfie from sunday because one of our investigators made me wear them if he had to wear a tie to church 😂 4. Paisaje

THE ONE WHERE WE WAS POPPIN THEM MILAGROS LEFT ARE RIGHT

Hey hey hey!!! So like...this week was so good...apart from it being really hot...but its all good cause we found 14 people to teach!!! Its all worth it because bueno i get to be a missionary and actually watch myself be and instrument in the hands of the Lord and see the blessings ive been blessed with come to life!! #1: Martín!! Martín is someone we met in the street and he had some really cool bracelets on his ankles and i wasnt gonna say anything like at all other than hey, so i say hey and then literally something in my chest like...directed me to him...like made me turn to him!! So i just start asking him about his bracelets and we get to talking about his beliefs and about the atonement and he starts telling us his story and past with drugs and basically told us that everything he has is because Jesús saved him so that he could have a second chance with his family!!! It was a really awesome conversation...he wild but hes gonna be really good!! #2: Ángela and her mom: These two are the reason you should always always always work until the last posible minute in your day!! So de were just knocking doors todo bien, and i just felt very strongly to knock this one door, so we knock and the mom comes out and goes oh i thought you guys were my daughter and so we start talking and her daughter comes up and she has a huge rosary around her neck and then we get to talking about Jesús again (because bueno thats why im here) and i felt very strongly to ask them what they believe Jesús did for them and then we started talking about the atonement and the mom starts crying just out of nowhere!!! And then i gave her a hug cause i dont like when people cry, and we started talking about the part of the atonement where the savior is in the gardenia of gethsemani, and talking about how when we're struggling de can always have the peace of mind that theres always someone there who knows what its like and the mom went on to telling us that we were really truely sent to her door by the Lord...i still have no idea why she was crying or what happened because she didnt tell us and i felt bad asking but it was really a great experiencia!! #3: María Bueno María is someone who doesnt exactly go to church anymore because some elderes from like 10 years ago lied to her about bringing her a dress to wear to church...so we get to talking about forgiveness and share a video with her and promise her that we are gonna bring her a dress and, she came to church 😌 #4: we put 2 baptism dates #5: no morimos de calor!!!! This is about all i got for the week pero solo para que sepan, la misão es lo mejor de todo y todos deben ir si tienen la oportunidad!!!! Con amor, Hermana Andy 1&2: well we found a nice wall...and you people know i like walls for pictures 3. Some guy just drove up and took a picture with all of us...pretty sure hes a member haha but yeah that was fun
