"This is one of those pictures worth a million words=)

We have a spot that we always have to wait for the bus.

(Oh right, it´s called bus stop)

It always makes me so happy that there is a HUGE Mexican flag=)

SO... Today was such an amazing day =) That I just felt like singing!

I sang at the top of my lungs the hymn "Bandera de Sión"

It was one of those moments with my comp that just make me happy=)

We have had a lot of those this week=)"

Okay....onto the blog:

I Love Hermana Castillo

I Love San Jose

I Love Mexico

I Love the mission!!!!

This week has been INCREDIBLE!!!!

I can´t even explain why.

I am just so happy!

Okay I think part of the reason is for Hermana Ramirez!!

I got a call late last night.

It was about 10:20 and I was brushing my teeth.

Someone called and I could see the number was from Mexico City.

I walked away because I wasn´t going to answer...

But couldn´t fight the curiosity.

I answered and heard a familiar voice.

She told me she was Hermana Ramirez!

I tried to swallow all the toothpaste in my mouth and asked 

which Hermana Ramirez.

(I know a million)

She responded and said "SU MAMÁ"

I seriously fell to the floor screaming!!

MY MOM!!! my first comp!!

The one that taught me all I know!!!=)

She is here in San Jose on her Honeymoon and wanted me to meet her husband!

We got together quickly and went to lunch=) I was bubbling the whole time!

I couldn´t even sleep last night because of how excited I was to see her!

We also had our MULTIZONA this week.

It was the last one I will have in my mission=(

I LOVED what the assistants shared with us.

It was SO spiritual=)

To go to the multizona we had to get up at 3:30..............

We got home super late too.

But the road trip was fun with the whole zone=)

And we got some awesome pictures as the sun was setting=)

Saturday President and Hermana Velez came to visit our investigators!

I love it when President teaches!

It is always such a blessing when he come with us.

We went with the family that I was talking about last week.

17 year old girl.

We taught the whole family and I thought president would go for the Plan of Salvation or something like that.

Seeing as we were talking about her mom who just passed away.

But nooooo.

He taught the Word of Wisdom.

But the spirit was so strong!

I´m not sure how he does it=)

But he teaches with such power!

Earlier in the week we went to visit the same 17 year old!

We decided that we needed to start teaching her "husband" too.

So we had our first lesson with him.

We planned on teaching the restauration, but quickly found out he is atheist.

I can´t even explain how much I LOVE teaching atheists.

Mexico is a very religious country.

I cherish the few opportunities I have had to teach someone 

that doesn´t believe in God.

Because they are experiences beyond anything that you could ever explain.

We ended out just teaching that God is our Heavenly Father.

Everything went normal until the very end of the lesson.

We asked him to say the last prayer.

The four of us knelt down in prayer and listened=)

He mostly asked for his wife and his soon to come baby.

But he did it with such love.

He finished the prayer and we all just sat there in silence for awhile.

My comp has always told me that she loves teaching with me but her favorite part is when I testify!

Testifying has always my favorite part of the lesson.

I felt strongly that I needed to share my testimony.

I honestly don´t even remeber what I said...

But the spirit filled the room instantly!!

They both had tears in their eyes=)

I testified of what they were feeling and testified of our Father in Heaven.

When we got home that night I was reading my Patriarchal Blessing,

It talks about how my testimony will be one of my strongest tools in this life.

I love little moments like that=)

Knowing that I am using the tools He has given me for good=)

I am happy here.

It´s a different kind of happy=)

  

Sending my love
