Well this last week was a super successful and wonderful week! this week we had a great missionary activity for investigators and for recent converts/ less actives! it was a great success and i loved every minute of it!!! we had the blessing for just before that activity to find a miracle as well! we have been praying and working hard to find a lot of news and prepare for the month of march. march has 5 sundays so we have 1 chance than normal to baptise and confirm in the same month. since this is the last 5 sunday month for our mission president before he leaves we are really trying to prepare a lot of people to send him out with a new record of confirmations for the month! well like i said we were on our way to the activity and we were running a little late. so as we started on our way to the church we felt as that we should try to find one more person. we had no idea why but we felt that we should even though we would be late. so we found a street and decided to contact the first house that had a door open. well as we walked up to the house and yelled for them to come to the door, a man came to the door in a big hurry. looking a little surprised and confused but he said he wanted to hear what we had to say. well as we began to share with him and as we testified to him about christ he began to cry. when he could talk he said to us that he was fighting with his family right before we got there and that he had went to the kitchen and prayed for god to send him some peace and happiness. and after his prayer we showed up. he told us that we had used the back door by accident but he said that if we had used the front door that he wouldn't have been able to talk to us because on the front door it says "we are catholic and we don't accept other religions" well long story short we finished the lesson with an invitation to come to the church for the activity. well he came to that and he also came to the church on sunday! he later told me that he wants to keep following in the church because he feels something different. I really know this man was a man sent to us from god! i also know that none of this was a coincidence and that there are people like him in every city of the world so i just want you all to please look for these types of people because if we don't look we don't love our savior. "IF YE LOVE ME FEED MY SHEEP"
also this week my redneck skills came in handy.. we had an investigator that as we were passing her house last night start screaming ELDERS!! ELDERS!!! HELP ME!!! well we were a little startled but went running up to her gate anyways... she later explained that she had the "biggest" toad in her house and that she could not sleep until it was gone. so i got to go catching frogs last night. :) it was a great time and as you can see from the pictures we had success. :) well i hope you all have a great week and that you are all safe! take care and know i love you all!!!

missionary activity:
I taught about the importance of the sacrament
I had asked it that was the Toad in the bag and he said: ya it is the toad. she told us to take it a long ways away! and the food is a treat i learned how to make yesterday they are called patacones but it would be said like pota-co-nys i am sending more pics and the directions of how to make them.
okay here is a series of photos for you to see how to cook a super delicious treat that i learned this week. but... i dont know if you can find platano by our house.
so first cut them into fat slices
fry them lightly on each side
smash them with a cup or between a couple plates
fry it again until crispy
put a little salt on them and eat them!!!
they are super super super delicious, but it might have to be one of your cheat days.
I love you mom!!
He also sent us a voice clip I will have to try to add it later. He has learned how to play the Guitar and he played us so of If you could hie to Kolob, it was so good to hear his voice & he is pretty good at the guitar too.
