Week 30~

Como andan ustedes?? Well this week was great as always! Elder Hokanson and I are finding tons of new people to teach and have programmed several new people to be baptized in the upcoming weeks! We are super focused on trying to find the people that are prepared to accept the gospel so we invite the people to be baptized on the first lesson,which can be kind of tough, but we are finding lots of success with it! And the people are willing to accept the invitation. I am continuing to try to develop more patience for everything.. Companion, investigators, difficulties of the mission.. I have found that I am not a very patient person, so I am working on it! Its tough though.. But I am so grateful for the mission and how it has helped me to see how weak I really am without the help of the Lord. Yesterday I got way sick! So that was sweet! For lunch we ate a big asado (cookout of meat) and I tried blood sausage for the first time, which was a huge mistake. I actually didn't mind it that much, but yesterday afternoon right before we were going to leave to work, I started feeling super sick and from basically 6 in the evening until 1 in the morning, I was throwing up.. I think the blood sausage is the culprit (is that a word?) but yeah I kept trying to go to sleep but just kept throwing up and I had a nice fever, but I took some medicine and finally got to sleep and I am feeling a lot better today!. I am telling you this because I am okay now so theres no need to worry mom.. But just wanted to warn you guys to not go out and eat any blood sausage today. I am loving my area and the members are super awesome. Our branch is super united which is something you don't find here very often, but all of the members are like one big family which is so cool. A great example to me. It really is so important that we fellowship other members of the church and create that feeling of a family in the church. Hope you all know that I love you and am grateful for you guys! Families are ordained of God! And I am so grateful that I get to be a part of this family that our Father in Heaven has given us! Love you guys
