1 Year!

Well to be honest it still feels like I have 2 years left on the mission. But hitting my year tomorrow will be good! I have come to love the mission so much this past year and realize that all it is doing is helping me in life. Spanish isn't my rival anymore and the streets don't seem so sketchy. Love all that I have learned this past year and can't wait for 1 more year of growth! 

This week was a super good week! We had a lot of success and 7 investigators came to church yesterday. One of them being our good friend Vladimir. So let me tell ya'll about Vladimir. He is 27 and lives in this super dope place surrounded by trees and plants and lives in a wooden shack with his dad. He has sun glasses that he wears and I am yet to see his eyes even after 3 weeks of teaching him, and no he doesn't have a problem with his vision he is just shy. But yes, he is going to get baptized this week. He said he is feeling ready so keep praying for him to have good feelings about his baptism this Saturday. We had a lesson with him yesterday and he has a goose that lives at his house and it scares me. My comp is also not a fan but we lived. It was hissing and trying to come at me and I was sweating so bad and Vladimir was laughing. It was a good time. 

We got a reference on Friday. It is a guy named Juan. He is so cool. He is in his 50's and lives with him mom. He told us he wants to organize his life and that is why he wants to investigate the church. We went to his house on Saturday and his mom is the most Catholic lady ever. So unfortunate. But Juan is the most not catholic guy ever. So awesome. He came to church yesterday. He loved it. We are meeting with Juan on Saturday and gonna try to invite him to be baptized. Pray for him. 

I read something really cool that President Monson said. He said ''I always want the Lord to know that if he needs an errand run, Tom Monson will run that errand for him.'' I think this is something amazing and inspiring. I hope we can all have that same desire and show the lord that we are willing to do whatever errand he has in-store for us. 

The Church is true. Satan is real. Read the Book of Mormon to avoid this dude. Love you all so much. See ya in a year;)
