This week was a blooper

 This week was probably the funniest week I've ever had in my mission! 

Blooper 1 = the chase 
Wednesday, we were able to go on exchanges! I was with my country lovin bestie sister morley and it was so much fun! She came to spanish land and we were out stopping by some people who had been paused in the past. We went up to this house and there was a "beware of dog" sign so we put our keys in the fence to make noise (like always) and then no dog came so we figured it was fine. Walked through the gate, got halfway up there when a dog comes sprinting out of the bushes and sis morley didn't see it so I screamed "ah there is a dog!!" And we ran so fast to the face that was closed. Sister morley hopped the fence so quick and I was cornered by the dog protecting myself with my bag and proselyting libro de Mormón haha luckily the dog was decently nice kinda and I climbed out pretty quick. We walked away laughing so hard hoping we wouldn't get put on YouTube. So ya that was exciting!
Blooper 2 = the fall 
We were sitting in our lesson with our 80ish year old friend, Marialena, she is a queen and is the funniest lady ever! We had a good lesson and mid lesson, her member inactive daughter walks in. She's super nice and greets us and then goes to her room cuz she's on a call. We finish the lesson and Marilena offers us some water and peaches (never say no to Latinas) so we said yes and walked to the kitchen when at this point the daughter comes out and is talking to us. As we're all talking the dog pees everywhere in the kitchen and steps in it and its just everywhere. Marialena tries to go discipline the dog but steps right into the pee on the floor. We all go oh no Hermana and as she steps back she slips and is falling quick, luckily I'm standing right there and literally caught her, saving her from a bad smack on the counter and a potential hip replacement. After I caught her she goes "oh dear, I almost fell" and I quite literally almost died laughing. Moral of the story, I saved an old lady💪
Blooper 3 = the 19 yr old son? 
So the elders were able to baptize their two friends on Saturday who are sisters. I've talked to the sisters a lot and they are super sweet! We had a little get together as a ward after church and were able to help them meet more of the ward. As my comp and I were leaving, the one recent convert tells me I'm the most beautiful girl ever and that I need to marry her son. I was like woah now... so she snaps a pic of me to send to her son who is in MEXICO! I was like oh my goodness I'm still a missionary my heart is for Jesus! So I'll let yall know if I get a message from this son in Mexico! Yikes!
Miracles!
Although this week was really silly, we had a cool miracle while tracting. We were heading back to our car when I felt like someone was watching us. I double take at these people staring at us through their window soooo we go knock the house and out comes Victor! Victor is super cool! He told us he had been waiting for us for so long! He had been previously taught by missionaries in the past but moved and couldn't contact them. He was super excited and it was definitely a miracle seen! A sweet little girl I've been teaching since I got here also got baptized!! Her fam is all recent converts and she was the last to teach! She amazing! Woot! I know Christ lives! I know this is HIS work and I know he is at the head of this church! I know these miracles are HIS miracles!
God is good!
Jesus is love!

The hardest thing I've ever loved to do

  God is a loving Heavenly Father. The first principle we teach as missionaries.  A simple statement, but one that has changed my life.  God...
