 Whattup fam 😎

This week was full of good stuff. Some of these things are super random lol but I love it here
-we had 5 people at church and the services were SO GOOD! A little after the meeting we got a random text from Juan our investigator who's getting baptized Saturday and he was like "was that bread normal" (talking about the sacrament) and we were like well yeah, but its blessed, and he was like "don't worry it's nothing bad I was just wondering because when I ate it I felt something so strong and different. I felt the way I feel when you guys pray for me and my family and it's a feeling that is peaceful and tranquil but it's something I'll never be able to explain." And oh my heck when we got that text I just wanted to cry of gratitude for God letting Juan feel and recognize the difference of the spirit. God is preparing people that are SO prepared and Juan is a testament to me about that. Literally when we taught the word of wisdom he was like "I had a feeling I needed to stop smoking and drinking so 2 weeks ago I stopped..." every time we talk to him I'm left speechless knowing that really God has prepared him perfectly! His 3 kids want to be baptized but the mom (who they live w most the time) is kinda crazy so if you want to pray that she'll soften her heart I'd appreciate it :) 
- we found some new really cool people this week! We had to drop some good people who just stopped progressing which is always sad but God provides always! 
-I ate Dorielotes 5 nights in a row.... idk if I should be proud of that statement or embarrassed but it's the most Mexican I've ever felt lol. #noregrets. Also AAAAAH Mexican food is SO GOOD!!!
-We made friends w a bus driver and a few days later she recognized us walking down the road and flashed her full siren emergency lights and waved. I felt cool lol, in streets full of strangers, when people recognize you it's awesome!
- We visited guanajuato capital last pday also very cool- The buildings and everything were so colorful and it was beautiful! I want to come back and explore that city more, it has the most underground tunnels in the whole country!
-I had exchanges with an hermana who did NOT want to have exchanges w me (apparently she didn't really like me even though we'd never talked lol) but we ended up turning into super good friends and loving our time together! I'm so glad it all worked out!
- Last week I bought a little turtle for 100 pesos and it's so cute. Samuel Miguel aka "miguelito"
- worst part of the week, I saw the biggest spider of my life when we were cleaning the font and I literally got nightmares from it. Also random little thing- since starting the mtc Ive dreamt almost every single night and it's SO fun! I have some weird dreams lol but it honestly is a testimony to me that I know God is aware of me and cares about me enough to help me have dreams so I can enjoy sleeping even more lol. 

This week on a random day, in the middle of an actually really good day I started feeling down on myself picking myself apart, then I literally thought "what the heck, God would NOT want me to think these things, get out of my head Satan" and I said a prayer to help me withstand those feelings and just like that I felt the peace and love from Heavenly Father. Guys in these days so many people, including our natural man thoughts, are going to try to pick us apart, but DONT HEED TO WHAT THEY SAY! We studied that talk by Bednar from this last conference this week in relief society and I loved it (I would definitely recommend it). Satan and the world can only have the power we give them. Don't give heed to what the world and people in the great and spacious building are saying bc guess what the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only thing that can give you pure joy, not just worldly pleasure. 

I hope you all have the best week and know that I love you all!
