Interesting week to say the least...
Well folks I'll be real with you, living with girls who are having drama with each other is difficult... yes missionaries still have drama sadly. To spare the details it was a rough week haha and all the girls in our house had problems with each other (not me which is good BUT that meant they all ranted to me about each other and it was hard when I was trying to stay out of it and be a peacemaker and just encourage them not to hate each other haha) sooo this week I learned that 1- the spirit can not be in a house with contention and you can't have success without the spirit. Dont have contention in your homes guys. Its so easy to get worked up and angry over dumb stuff but choose to love and serve instead! If you have hard feelings towards someone I encourage you this week to forget about yourself and think about what Christ would do. Serve and love and try to make this christmas season a little more merry! 2- people are imperfect (including myself) so we need to have patience and turn to the lord for advice and to help us fix our weaknesses 3- don't participate in gossip and drama. I've always known this but this week I can testify that the spirit and contention (which comes fr gossip and drama) can not be in the same place at the same time. With so much drama working was difficult this week and I know it's the reason we had a lot less success this week. Even trying to prepare for lessons this week with the spirit, if your comp doesn't have the spirit and desire to work it makes things tough. anyways, word of advice stay out of drama and gossip for real! Trust me I know that it can be fun sometimes in the moment but talking bad about one of God's precious children will never bring you or anyone happiness!
Good news this weekend after a (ppppp) pj, pizza, playing games, painting nails, piji y platicar (sleepover and talk) party the tension in our house has gone down a lot... Miracles really can happen 
Don't worry there were still good things about this week because God is good. (More details in the picture descriptions) We had some good lessons (with Hector and Mario), I had divisions with refugio again which went good, we had some fun activities, Diego had AND PASSED his baptismal interview (he gets baptized the 18

Pics-
-Mario's bday (we made his day and brought him a little cake, then had an awesome lesson on the best gift- Jesus Christ and the atonement, and it was cool! He was like "I thought that Jesus was some guy that died but not that he is the son of God who died and suffered for ME. He said its kinda hard to believe bc suffering, death, and resurrection and all that is hard to believe but that he thinks we speak the truth and he said hell pray about it so hopefully that goes well! Please keep him in your prayers!!)
-service organizing books with Refugio. We're helping a lady move into her house and she asked if we could organize books by genre... I was like oh yeah for sure and when we got to the books they were all in spanish which idk what I was expecting but it was tough lol but fun! She had some weirddd books and it was an adventure trying to figure out what books were about and organize them. They probably were NOT in the right places haha but it was fun!
- We crashed another ward's Christmas party. They saw we were missionaries and of course offered the free food and to stay for a while and enjoy their christmas program! It was nice! I love christmas!
