Week...I don't remember‏                    Saturday, March 29, 2014

 Hola Everybody!!

You know...I never know what to say in these things....Oh I know!! I can just give you the silent treatment like you all gave me this week!! I almost cried because I didn't get any dear elders!!...Okay, you know I didn't cry, but uh...I'd be okay with it if you decided to send me más cartas y más packages. 

Lets see..this week...I learned a lot. As usual. My companions and I are getting along really well. 

Everyone in the district has a love-hate relationship with me because I'm...really obedient. Not that they're DISobedient, but they find excuses to bend the rules, sometimes. But when we're in class and focused it's pretty cool to see how much they can have spirit. 

But we then went to Tuesday Devo. We have devotional every Tuesday and Sunday. Usually Tuesday is someone of the Seventy and Sunday is someone from the MTC or something.
Anyway, Elder Stanley G. Ellis of the Seventy Spoke and gave so many good points. 

At first he talked about how Nephi was such a good example and a good brother, and YET things still went so wrong for him!!! Like, He had disobedient brothers, his gold was stolen, he was chased away by Laban, His brothers tried to beat him, AND he had to kill someone, and other stuff. So, WHY? Because God wanted a better Nephi. And Nephi needed to know what Nephi could do. 
And my other favorite point was "Be hard on yourself but lenient with everybody else." And while there's a happy medium where you can advise and be an example, you just have to let other people make their own choices. And one more really good point:

"When you do 1st things 1st, 2nd things get thrown in.
When you do 2nd things 1st, you lose both the 1st AND 2nd things."

Anyway, I have to go do laundry, but I should be able to come back and say more. Maybe by then you will have seen the email and reply, or something.

(Letter Continued)…..

Have fun at Jason's. Tell everyone "Hola" for me and happy birthday to Grandma, Olivia and Niki...I might have forgotten their birthdays...

Oh and thank-you, Lane!! Everyone in my district loved the magnets!! 

 

You remember how much we love our teachers? Well this week, Brother McPherson - the boss of the teachers - said that we were the most distinguished district he's ever worked with! Uh...hahahaha thanks...I think. And the other night Hermana Hudson was teaching us Spanish and she turned to me and accidentally said, "Hermana McDaniels will you..." because I guess she used to have a companion with that name? Anyway, apparently that's my new name! lovely. Anyway, in regards to the teachers, I have another favor to ask... :) We are going to give them gifts right before we leave. I would love you forever if you could print out 12(yes twelve) wallet size, color, pictures of Mexico. Just on regular paper...and send them to me...pretty please? Let me know in a dearelder or something if you can do that... 

You want to know something else kinda weird/funny? I told you about the newest district with another 5 girls, right? Well, the other district is the only one with elders and they're leaving on Monday, so we won't have any elders for at least a week, and it could be longer. But it will be over conference weekend, so it might just work out! Too many girls...too much...just...no. 

I can't think of anything else to say...thanks for everything!! Have a fantastic semana!!

This week we learned about how we can actually do stuff for our investigators...like...personal stuff. And so we made a picture about faith for Loliña. We’re all so proud of it!!

Also, there´s us with the big map. Finally. 

One of the sisters in my district got some sparkling cider in a package, so we had a "party" for to celebrate our third week out on Wednesday. 

Be Jealous.
