Week 55: "Don't Eat Ghost Peppers"

  October  20, 2014

"I want a horsey! :)"

Friends & Family,

Well let's start with crazy things that happened..

1. Just in case ya'll don't know.. DONT EAT GHOST PEPPERS... let me tell you.. my lips and mouth were literally on fire for 15 minutes... I really thought I was going to pass out.. my arms were numb. hahaha IT WAS CRAZY, and all the Hispanics were laughing at me. haha. I love my Hispanics.

2. Some of ya'll might not know but there is a place in St. George called swig. (I know my parents know) but it has the BEST SUGAR COOKIES in the world. This lady in my ward made them and they tasted just like them. It made my day!!! :) (I ate a lot..... :( )

3. So all the missionaries in my mission are doing something called social media splits... on November 1, 2014. So members will come out with us all day long from 7:30am-9:30pm. Members will come out for 2 hours, than we will have another member come out with us. When they are with us they will be taking pictures and posting stuff of what we do. We are flooding the social media with good stuff. As some of you may know, there is a play called "The Book of Mormon" It is coming over here to play. So we were told to use the SAME hash tag they are using. We are trying to show the world what missionaries really do. So on November 1, 2014 if ya'll want to go on facebook, instagram, tweeter and search for #mormon or #gloucesterward there will be pictures of us doing missionary work! :)

4. I am going to come home with a whole different way of speaking English.. All I say is ya'll ... SORRY :)

We have 3 with a baptismal date!! We are excited. We are having such a fun time together and we are loving being a missionary!! :)

My prayer was answered. We have to do this thing every Saturday called walk and talk from1-4pm. It is hard. We have to talk to everyone we see!!! For ya'll that know me, it's not hard for me to talk to anyone. haha! But recently I have been more on the scared side (For some dumb reason) Just to start the conversation is always awkward. haha But Saturday morning I prayed and asked Heavenly Father to help us have one person ASK US first who we are or what does our name tag mean. So that we can start the conversation. So we get to this little antique mall strip thing, we get out of our car and start walking around.. 4 minutes go by and this older man comes up to us and says, "What does your tag say, Hermana? WHATS THAT?"  Then we just jumped into it and told him who we are and he said oh okay, do ya'll  have some literature I could have? IT WAS A MIRACLE. THIS CUTE OLD MAN MADE MY DAY!!!!  I have such a strong testimony that no matter how big or small your prayers are.. HE WILL ANSWER. I promise you all that if you pray with sincerity and real intent... HE WILL ANSWER. He loves and cares for each person.. He wants you to kneel down and pray to him!!!!

I love this gospel SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

I love and miss ya'll .
