The week of grand opportunities! (Week 13)

Hola everyone! I can`t believe that already 4 months has passed since i left for the MTC! Holy cow time flies by fast!!!

So things have been going great here down in sunny Guadalajara. I was struggling a little bit last week, but had a fantastic interview with the president that completely refreshed me mentally and spiritually! I always love to listen to my president talk. Never have I heard a man speak so boldly and simply about the doctrine of christ that I seriously learn something new EVERY time. it would not surprise me if that man ended up as an apostle one day..

*random interjection*

So we found a GIANT brown recluse in our house the other day!

about...

(                                                                           ) 

that big all around.... uuuugggghhhh *shivers* 

Those of you that know me know how much I despise any type of spider, and the fact that it was a big version of one that could kill me.. NOT OK.

Let just say it burned ;)

Also this week we hade changes! Im no longer in training and Elder Pacheco no longer is my companion. It still feels weird to not have Elder Pacheco here but Im really excited about my new companion Elder Alvarez. He has 21 months in the mission and was a zone leader in his last area. He`s a great guy with a lot of excitement about the work. 

Also something crazy happened! My president closed Arquitectura 2. Now theres only the area Arquitectura. So with this ward there are only two missionaries. All the others in the zone with 6 or more haha. To walk from one side of my area to the other it takes about an hour and a half... its huge! And the work has doubled! How awesome is that!? I have a whole lot of excitement for these next two cambios! 

I`m sure we will be stumbling in dead tired almost every night but hey the Lord has 100% answered my prayers for more work haha! The excitement is actually kind of hard to retain, i`m so grateful that the lord trusts us both enough to leave two whole areas in our hands! With many baptisms coming these next couple weeks I will continue in the spirit of the lord as it guides us to where we need to go! I thank you guys for your prayers for me and for those that we teach. It really helps a lot and helps us go day to day. :)

Love you all much!
