Okay usually I always start with the really gross stuff first and boy do I have a great story for y´all this week.
We
were in a lesson teaching a girl who is about 25 years old. During the
lesson there were mice running all over the house, by our feet, and
eating the food on the table. So I was already grossed out... THEN
towards the end of the lesson about 10 cockroaches all started crawling
out of the walls.. Now let me just say I was holding it together pretty
good at this point... and even though they were getting closer to me, I
controlled myself and kept teaching. That is until they all started
flying. One flew straight for my face and another flew straight into the
hair of the investigator. All three of us jumped out of our seats into
the middle of the room, all screaming and holding on to each other. They
stopped flying around the room and we stood in the middle in silence
for about ten seconds, all traces of the cockroaches gone. UNTIL the
investigator screams, ´´ITS ON MY ARM´´ and then started the screaming
all over again. Now during this time my dear companion kept trying to
teach her... Now im not entirely sure how to help you all visualize this
but here is my best try:
WE NEED TO HAVE FAITH *swat *scream YOU CAN CHANGE *squish JESUS *swat *scream
hahahahah
oh geez I have never laughed so hard in my whole life. Me, the
investigator, and my companion had tears streaming down our faces and
its an experience I am never going to forget. In fact, I think I am a
bit tramautized. 
But
a part from that experience it was a great week! Once a month we have
something called Week of Miracles. During week of miracles all of the
missionaries in each zone gather together in a different city each day
and find new people. So this week I was in Don Bosco, Hatillo,
Alejuelita, and lastly here in Pavas! And folks I definitely saw
miracles this week! While in Alejuelita I was on splits with a member
and as we were walking down the street, a woman with a 20 day old baby
came up to us. She told us she had left her house hoping to find someone
who could offer a prayer for her baby and we just happened to be right
there! She cried as she told us her problems and as we talked about how
Jesus Christ has seen her struggle and knows her pain.
Later
in Don Bosco I was on splits with a different sister missionary and we
knocked on the door of an older woman. She let us in and we sang the
hymn, ´´I need thee every hour´´ While we sang, she cried and told us
that she never opens the door for people but felt like she needed to
this time... and that we had answered her prayer that day. Her
grandchild had recently died and when we told her that we believe
children dont need to be baptized before the age of 8, she covered her
face in her hands and cried.
I saw miracles
this week folks. And even though I probably wont see any of these people
again, I am infinitely grateful for the small role I was able to play,
and that I could be an instrument in God´s hands! I dont believe in
coincidences folks and I hope you dont either!
But
all in all this week was the most tiring and most fulfilling. I didnt
go a single day without coming home completely dead tired but completely
grateful for the opportunity to be serving a mission 
HIGHLIGHTS
*Saturday
night all of the missionaries in our zone sang our Mission Hymn for
Stake Conference, Adult session. The spirit was so strong! Also that
reminds me... while in Don Bosco for Stake Conference the rain was so
hard that water started pouring in from the ceiling and the Sunday
Session was moved to Pavas... We dont know whats going to happen to the
church in Don Bosco. 
*All
of the missionaries in our zone also stood up together on the bus and
sang hymns for the people. It was a super cool experience. #ILoveMyZone
*We
found a man about two days ago in Pavas... talked to him for about
twenty minutes and on Sunday he came to church all on his own! Ahhh we
were so surprised but so happy!
Also I just
want to say how grateful I am for my mission president. He is amazing
and I dont talk about him as much as I should. He´s great.
And I think thats all I have for ya´ll this week... Have a wonderful week! Love you all!
