WEEK 20: Dyed my hair black. #noregrets

hi friends!

this week was a weird oneeee. but a good one. I feel like I say that about all of them but I mean hey its true!

First of all, I am writing a little late today becauseeeeeee: me and hermana norton may or may not have dyed our hair black today.

heres the story: last night, we went to visit a less active member with our ward mission leader (who reminds me of my dad SO MUCH BY THE WAY) and as we were walking, we say to him, "hey, what can we do to help our español? because its struggling." and he says to us, "if you want to be a latiña, you have to look like a latiña." we joked around for awhile, and then he said, "hey, I'll buy you sushi and Dr. Pepper if you both dye your hair black tomorrow." 

and so yeah. hashtag no regrets.

lets see what else. We have been visiting lots of less active members these past couple of weeks. Because there are so many in this ward! and it was so funny the other day because we went and knocked on the door of what we thought was a less active mom and her two kids, but actually happened to be a less active old man and his daughter! I got my addresses mixed up, but it was actually kinda cool because this old man (named Manuel) got knee surgery about two months ago and still cant walk or do anything, he's been in bed for two months! and he's so lonely! he said he had been praying for someone in the ward to stop by because he needed some spirit in his life. so that was definitely a miracle, definitely in the right place at the right time. :)

Oh here's a funny story for the week: We were contacting in this neighborhood, and we hear someone start yelling, "elders! elders!" we were super confused, and we turned around and saw this lady running towards us. She informed us that she was from Angol and she just left her husband but she had been taking the missionary lessons and she loves our church and she loves missionaries. She then proceeded to ask us if we had money to give her or a place to sleep. We quickly informed her that he didn't have any money and we would look for a place to her to stay. then she yelled, "I just need a drink of water!" So I pulled out my cute new water bottle I had just purchased the week before, and offered it to her. Well. She took my water bottle and started running. hahahaha. It was soooo funny. I was a little sad but I guess I can survive with out it, she obviously needed it more than me.

but yeaaaah! thats basically my week. Maria was super sick this weekend and couldnt come to church, but we have an appointment with her tonight so hopefully everything works out okay, fingers crossed!

pero este no mas! tenga un muy buen semana.

con amor.

hermana por favor
