7/17/17--Transfers and a Slow Week

Well as my sister Danielle reminded me, I only have 37 magical days left of my mission. I sure hope to make them the most magical days of my life up until this point. I know the next steps and moments will become the best magical moments and experiences of my life. I am surprised at how fast time flies and I am seeing how you really have to make the most of what you got.

So on to the week. Well to be honest, not too many very exciting things happened. I will cover some highlights and keep this kind of short.

So this week was transfers. We got two new elders in our district so it should be exciting. They already seen like pretty cool elders. As well Elder Brown became the assistant to he president. The Elder Brown who was my district leader in the MTC!! Kind of crazy.

As for the work we are just working hard and trying to find new people to teach. We have been working on finding through the less actives that our branch President has asked of us to look up. So in summary we are talking to everyone and taking as many names as we can get. So if you know anyone in Brooklyn that could use a message of Jesus Christ let us know. =)

As for fun stories, one came from last night. First we went over to a member's house and she always makes the missionaries these tacos. They are super good. She has a record for most an elder and a sister have eaten. For some strange reason I had a huge desire to beat the sister's record. So I ate 18 tacos in one sitting. Let me just say I was pretty stuffed by the end. I maybe could have had one or two more but that would have been pushing explosion.

Then this week by Sunday morning we ran out of toilet paper. So by the night time we had two napkins left. So Hermana Jofre walks out and looks at me goes, "Ok we have two napkins one for you and one for me. In case you need to wipe you butt or something." I fell to the floor laughing my head off. It was super funny. Sorry if you don't think this js funny but I found it very funny so I thought I would share.

This week it mainly rained and we worked.  Sorry for the not so exciting week.....

This week as transfers start and this week in the program I am doing for going home we have talked a lot about setting goals and plans. I love what preach my gospel says. It says,

"Goals reflect the desires of our hearts and our vision of what we can accomplish. Through goals and plans, our hopes are transformed into action. Goal setting and planning are acts of faith."

I am learning that as we set good goals ones that are inline with what our Heavenly Father wants to have happen we will always be on the track and becoming better. I know this work is the Lord's and I know my Savior lives. I hope y'all have a great week!!
