Birthday is the bomb!

 The missionaries here are hilarious.  Some were born to do 24 hour stand up comedy



What's up everybody? This week is the best week of the year because of my birthday of course!
One of our challenges is getting investigators to church. So yesterday before church we stopped by one of our investigators house and asked if he wanted to come to church with us. He put down his cigarette and was like sure. Awesome. He told us he really liked the feeling that he had during sacrament. Sometimes you need to be diligent and at first the people just put up with you because they're trying to be nice, but I know that the feelings and words sink down into them.
I got my birthday package and I love it! The little missionaries are hilarious! Thank you so much for that! It was a little bit of a slower week and it was such a boost to get that package from you guys! I'm totally saving the candy and new tie for Tuesday.  Im also giving away all the stickers to the kids on that day.  My birthday is going to be the bomb!
We shared with a family yesterday. It went really good. We sat at a table me my comp and the son who was 19. There was another chair that I think every other member of the family sat in for a short period of time ha. For example, at first the dad would be sitting there but he got a phone call and left and then the mom sat there but she was cooking something and left. I wish we could've had the whole family sit down with us but oh well. They were super nice to us and said they would read the Book of Mormon. This one small promise from this family, has really lifted my spirits and made me feel so grateful to be doing this work.
My Spanish is coming a long good. It's hard to see progress because everyday you get just a little bit better. I still say alot of stupid stuff. But if I compare myself to just only a month ago, I'm a lot better. I hope you guys have a wonderful week this week. Eat some good food and remember me on my birthday! I am really happy and am really feeling alot of peace here.  Not everything is perfect, but it will never all be perfect.  Im growing and changing and it feels rewarding.  Cheer someone up this week for my birthday.  Love you guys!
