Tuesday: Had 3 lessons in less than 3 hours, sweet! We visited a less active, who wasn't home, but her son was. He's not baptized. So we had a short lesson with him and he was way more open than usual and happily agreed to have us come back. Which we did Thursday. And had another sweet lesson. :) YAY!
Wednesday: Well, didn't turn out how we planned exactly. But we did have some very good lessons. Important ones. So that's what matters, right?
Thursday: We had one of the most intense lessons ever. This lady Y is going through a super duper hard time, and was crying and telling us about her struggles, and the member we brought with us is so awesome, she's a crier too, so she was crying and she really connected with her. So. It was perfect. :)

Friday: Went to a new area in our area that we hadn't visited before to contact a referral. Didn't find her but we found someone else, but she's not interested, but she was Mexican. So that was our almost miracle for the day, haha. In the Battalion I took my favorite tour. This group of 4 lds young adults walked in at 8:40. The last tour really should start around 8:15, so... we told them we would have to give them a very short tour. Usually when we do short tours we just show them the intro, then walk to resource room and tell the story. But this time we went through the whole tour, and just didn't use the AV equipment as much, and thus cut it down. But it was probably the most spiritual tour I've ever taken. The Spirit was SO strong. It was incredible. I felt so full the whole time. I want all my tours to feel like that. :)
Saturday: We had choir practice for the Fireside, and we had a lesson with X. We invited her to be baptized and she... well she shot us down but it's okay, she still wants us to keep visiting her. So we will. And we met this guy named Baron. We were teaching T outside and we were about to pray when B (this big black guy with tattoos) comes running up the stairs, and T starts talking to him, and so we say hey we were about to pray, want to join us? So he says "Yeah, for sure! Do y'all hold hands and stuff?" and ran up and grabbed our hands so we all stood in a circle and prayed... it was one of the weirder experiences on my mission but still pretty cool.
Friday: The fireside was awesome. Sister Amendola sang with Elder Dingman. They sang O My Father (in Spanish) (a cappella) and they did all these super cool harmonies. It sounded like an Italian lullaby. Super pretty. :) And guess what???? X CAME TO CHURCH. :D :D :D
Unfortunately the first speaker was from the Stake so he just spoke in English. Which was less favorite since she doesn't speak English. >_< *trying to be patient* But the next speaker spoke in Spanish, just a little rusty. She served her mission in Argentina like...20 years ago. But still. At least it was Spanish. But then X left before the classes because her daughter told her she felt sick. Rats. Well. she came to church. That's the first step, right? :)
Monday: We saw this old man walking alone looking sad so we pulled over to talk to him but he disappeared when he saw us so we kept walking anyways and walked past a parked car with someone in it so we started talking to him and he speaks Spanish, and he said we can come back and visit him. Yesss! ^_^ Sweet.
Tuesday:That's today! Nothing too exciting to report so far. Just found the part to the bread maker that I had lost. It was in the disposal. Haha. :) well, it's a little chewed up but it survived.... and it'll still work pretty well. We hope. MORE BREAD! YAY! :D
Love you all so much!!
