Mission Accomplished

Hey hey!!

I finally accomplished the goal I've had since the first month of my mission: learn how to make pupusas! Shoutout to our girl, Mirna!! I was able to redeem myself from the first time I attempted and failed very miserably. Yay for second chances 🥰

This week I had my final interview with President and it was super good! Sister Grate and I also got to facilitate interviews this week for our zone. We got to see everyone which was super fun and join their District Councils. We slaved away earlier that day and used our new found gift to make pupusas for everyone.

This week we had some really good chats with our friend, Lily. As we were teaching her the Restoration, the spirit testified so strongly that we needed to talk about baptism. We asked her if that was a desire she had and she said yes!! She is so elect! She actually mentioned that if she had met the missionaries last year she wouldn't have wanted to talk to them, but her heart has been softened and she is so willing to let God prevail. I love seeing the Lord's hand so involved in this work. Also, we were talking about the Plan of Salvation and we told her our purpose on earth is to have joy like it says in 2 Nephi 2:25. She lit up and was like "what?!!! I love that!!!" And we were like "this is just the beginning of the good stuff!!"

One day we were knocking and ran into this coooool lady named Giovana! We hit it off quickly and started talking about church. She said she's been looking for a Spanish congregation since she moved here a couple years ago. We invited her to come to ours on Sunday and she came! She loved it and it was so cool to see the ladies in our congregation talk to her and help her feel welcome. She got a little sneak peak of literally every lesson in Preach My Gospel that Sunday at church so it's gonna be fun.

Other random highlights

- Had an awesome lesson with a less active family and they sent us home with Mountain Dew and mangoes. If that ain't a beautiful combo, I don't know what is. We finally got the kids to listen when we used the mango as a talking stick :)

- Tea party with Mama Daisy, our recent convert. She sent us home with bar, liquid, and foam soap. I'm pretty sure it's because she loves soap, but maybe she was trying to tell us something.. ??

- Visited some sunflower fields and ran thru the corn fields.

Life is good.
