This gospel really does change lives for the better

My companion turned 9 months this week!
So I went all gourmet and 
made her some dank cupcakes

We had such a fun week! Tuesday, we were in Lubbock for zone training. I love stuff like that! It's so fun to come together as a zone and learn about being better missionaries. Because, let me tell you, my missionary skills are still pretty low. I have so much to learn, but I'm definitely getting better! People in the ward always call me shy, and I just want to laugh, because that is not me at all! But surrounded by a bunch of native Spanish speakers, I guess you could say I get a little sketched out. But, my Spanish is way better than it has ever been. Half the time, I can't even tell which language I'm speaking! I can see why Spanglish is such a common language out here. 

We had to leave our house at 6:10 to be in Lubbock on time.  When we got to the car, there was frost on the top! WINTER IS COMING. I was so convinced that winter didn't even exist here, but oh man it does. The mornings and nights are freezing, but mid day is sweat worthy. Trying to figure out clothes each day is a puzzle. But, it's all good.

Anahi's Baptism

Also, we had a baptism this week!!! Her name is Anahi, and her family is way less active. But, they decided to come back and get Anahi baptized! So, we've been teaching the whole family for a while, we planned and participated in the baptism, and I just love that family too much. It was a lot of work! But it was seriously one of the cutest baptisms ever. I love seeing families come together in the gospel. It really is the way we can find happiness in our families! Her dad even got to baptize her, and the whole family was on top of the world that day. Not going to lie though, the after party was one of the best parts. Me and Sister Slade saved our lunch hour so that we could go eat with them. People here know how to do refreshments. If you can even call it that. Anahi and her dog had matching dresses, the cake was a huge castle, and the tacos, guacamole, and salsa were never ending. The people here just love to have fun and be together as families. I love hanging out with our members! They are like my home away from home right now:)

Baking for our investigators! 

We heard it works well 

in getting them to want us to come back

Oh, also, a miracle story is currently in the making! On Wednesday night, we got a call from a random number. Apparently he called us on accident, but we decided to tell him a quick "who we are and what we do" speech over the phone, and asked him if he wanted us to come teach him. Crazy enough, he accepted! But, for the life of us, we could not understand what he was saying when he told us his address. For like 3 days we called him as we looked for his house, but it just was not working. Finally on Sunday night, we found it! We taught him and his roommate Jesus. They both were saying how they have been wanting to hear the word of God, but they just never get the chance because they work so much. Jesus is from this tiny town in Chihuahua with no laws, so he has never even heard scripture before. Anyway, they loved our message and have both accepted baptismal dates! Today we went back to teach, but only Manuel was there. Half way through the lesson, his other roommate Martin showed up, and so we taught him too. They all are so excited to feel free of their guilt and learn more about Christ. I love watching them get so excited to hear our messages. They smile so big when we promise them that this gospel really does change lives for the better. I am so excited to see where this goes! 

I love you all!
