Dearest familia,

so highlights real

this week was super good and i'm doing super well

Monday we had a good missionary lesson with a family and a lesson with 2 of our investigators who have a very interesting concern....it's that they don't actually care if God exists or not or what he cares about....yea that's what i said lol.

Tuesday.....we got to email! horray! then we went out to lunch with one of the sisters in our ward to the 3 margaritas which i love. do you know what horchata is? randy slaugh will know. SO GOOD! then we did a lot of stuff, had a really good dinner....and i don't remember, but we killed it that day (good thing).

Wednesday we had interviews with our mission president. It was my first interviews as a district leader, so i got to meet with each missionary in the district, they're all doing super well. I'm very lucky to have good missionaries. We also got to role play talking with people on a deeper level...hard to explain...but it was good. My interview with president went super well, i love that man. After we had another good member missionary lesson and got to meet her referral for us. Then we went and got 2 more referrals from a family who just moved into the ward. At this time is was snowing super hard and we went home to meet a member who was going to take me to a dr appointment. However, after 40 mins on the road and having passed 3 accidents not being able to see...we turned around after rescheduling.
So, Elder Martinez and I tried to go to walmart and pick up my medication...but 287 was completely stopped b/c cars were sliding down backwards....however, since i'm awesome, we did it no problem lol. pretty much everything was cancelled and our night died...so that was it lol

Thursday we had district meeting which went well........tried to see a lot of ppl but got skunked...

Friday we did a sweet awesome job of weekly planning and got out and saw a lot of people.....built a little pool you know

Saturday we totally scored and had like 6 legit lessons, it was tight. We also got to go to the baptism of this 18 year old girl that i interviewed. that was probably one of the weirdest experiences of my life. i was like freaking out, cuz the door was open, but we were like alone in this room so i was like...ahhh. during the interview i was probably more nervous than her...o well

Sunday was good, super sleepy, but that's how it works. ended the week out well

sorry not very meaty...but that's it.
much love to you all
have a good one
thanks for all your prayers and everything
