Sister Missionaries and future Sister Missionaries
Hi 😛💝

Well this week was a little rough, only in the aspect that we didn't see much success. That's okay, it makes the other Weeks seem like gold.
But I don't feel like talking about the things that went wrong in this email, I think my journal or you (mom) probably will and have heard enough about that.
So let's talk about some good things.
La came with us to Temple service! She loved it! And she kept sending pictures to her dad, and we had a great lesson later that week with a member that she could relate a lot to. She wasn't able to come to church but her family did have dinner at a Members house last night!

Okay I swear to you I met the Cheshire Cat. I might or might not be Alice in Wonderland. Well I mean I live 10 minutes from magic kingdom so it seems fitting. 
I don't know how to explain how she was the Cheshire Cat, the way she talked, the riddles, something like that. She was telling us about how she died and came back to life and something about the energy of the universe and "jumpers"(other spirits who come into our soul) wow I learned a lot. And guys come on, she's right. She had died and been to heaven. Duh. So she's like "no you don't understand I already know what is going to happen… I've seen it all" 😂
She was straight staring into my soul the whole time. When she was telling us about her Lazarus experience she looks me dead in the eyes and says, "because I've been to the other side I can look people in the eye… and I know them, I know their soul" eek!
Okay but here's the cool part, so as we're about to leave, I hand her a Book of Mormon. And she says, "oh this must be a coincidence" and proceeds to tell us this story about how 3 weeks ago, a UPS truck was driving by, and back must of been open because a box of our books fell out in front of her house and all into the street. And her roommate (who she claims is a "I don't care about anything or anyone" man) went out and picked them all up and called the UPS to come get them. So I think that was pretty dang cool.
Also Sister G (not a member) married to my favorite - Brother G. She made us a traditional Colombian meal, and it might have been hands down the best meal I've ever had. It almost.. beats dad’s steak. Speaking of which, I thought steak was my favorite meal, turns out it's not unless my dad makes it because I've never liked It anywhere else.
Anyway also Sister G is super crafty, so she made us these cute little hearts. Still refuses to come to church, but I think we're softening her heart ; )
My favorite thing of all time. Brother Gomez walking us out and waving us down the street
Ha-ha-ha-ha and my companion’s dad sent me 6 pounds of gumballs. 
Sister McCullough asked me what I wanted her dad to send me and being put on the spot I just yelled idk (I don’t know) …gumballs and he came through. Ha-ha.
Who knows where I'm going at the end of this transfer, but if Leave I'm going to be a mess. I love these members so much. They are my family. I can't even explain how much I've learned from them.
Members make a difference! I never thought I would be one of those people who care so much about visiting and home teachers, but my gosh I'd die for it now ha-ha. It matters so much, and it makes such a difference. 
I just hope everyone always remembers that yes the people in the church are not perfect. But the church is! And why is it? It's God’s church. It's literally his church, and he runs it. If you think the organization is imperfect, then you better take it up with the man upstairs. It's his plan. I truly believe his plan is perfect. 
I know that whomever we meet, wherever we met them, it's meant to be for some reason in gods grand scheme. He provides earthy and heavenly angels around us all the time. Take advantage of it.
The church is true.

Love you much.
