I will help you, not the other way around!

Huge birthday week! Happy birthday Marie, Dad, and especially Lukey! I wish so bad that I could be there! I really need to get a baptism for the day Lukey gets baptized so I can experience it with you guys!



This was a pretty good week. We started off the week with interchanges. I went with Elder Aguirre from Argentina. It was really fun. I told him my sister was in his homeland so we were instant friends. I was kind of stressed about it because I just didn't know what to expect. I was with him for a whole day and slept over in their house. We taught a really cool family. It was awesome. It was cool to see what different sectors are like. 

One of the missionaries from the CCM came and spent an afternoon with us. He was super cool, and I knew him from when I was in the CCM. His name is Elder Dowdell from Saint George and played basketball for Pine View. He said he understood almost nothing, ha I totally remember my first time in the field feeling the exact same way. My spanish still kind of stinks ha but it is definitely getting better. I just have to stay diligent and keep working hard. This is the first time, I can see Im making progress. There might be hope for me yet.

Yesterday we were doing contacts and I was talking to this women for a little bit. She said she got baptized a couple years ago but works on Sunday so hasn't been to church in awhile. She invited us in her house. She was really nice to us. We are going back this week and talking with her whole family. 
So kind of a funny story. I was talking with this girl and was explaining to her I was a missionary and I was here to serve the people. I THOUGHT I asked her if she needed any help but I guess I said she NEEDED to help me. She went into her house and brought out some money. I felt so stupid, but bless her heart for offering money to some stranger!
A lot happens in the week, but I don't have time to write it all down..I pray for you every day.  I am happy.  I hope you guys have a fantastic week this next week!
