PHEW!!! AWESOME WEEK!

HEY FAM FAM!!!! :)

This week was awesome!...except for being couped up in the apartment for a few days. We were all about to go crazy! But we had hours and hours to practice lessons, which really helped a ton later in the week when we were allowed to go outside. But President gave us permission to go to bed 30 minutes early on Tuesday! YESSSSSSS That was the BEST THING EVER!!!!!!!! 

So we had dinner with Brother A. and his friend C.- SO PREPARED!! It was incredible! The Spirit was so strong and we'll be seeing him again this week. #sweet

We ran into M. again this week (the physco/voodoo lady) I think she may be bipolar? because we was somewhat normal....

M. is in a little slump right now. We're still working with him. It's hard to get him transitioned when the branch has literally 4 people in it, so he doesn't have any home teachers or anything.... but we were able to talk to S. and had a really good lesson and were able to bear testimony- Pretty awesome!

STORM
D.!!! We had an incredible lesson on Saturday night! We took Sister N. with us and we talked about the 10 commandments and also Following the Prophet and we gave her an ensign from last general conference. The Spirit was incredible. We told her the amazing story on how we found her and she just started crying and she KNEW that there's a reason for us in her life. Now she just needs to recognize that she's already gotten her answer..

M. is super good! We have an awesome lesson planned for her this week- where the Spirit will tell her to be baptized already! (haha not really like that..but kinda :) )

B. for some reason won't answer our texts or calls.. :(

Making almond roca!
We had an incredible lesson with D. the other day! We were doing personal progress, individual worth #4 (i think) anyways it was the one about listing your hopes and dreams. D. was like I don't have anything i want to do with my life. We were like WHAT?!? She just wanted to sit and play on her tablet for the rest of her life. That broke my heart to hear a 13 year old already giving up on life. So i told her about my hopes and dreams about school, career and a awesome family and getting married in the temple and traveling the whole world etc. etc. and we  told her that Satan knows her potential and is scared of what she could become. Her eyes started to light up when we realized that she could do anything! It was amazing! The Spirit really touched her heart in a way that she KNOWS that God loves her! Probably one of the best experiences for me to witness ever :)

Haha so funny story time... So we were out running in the blizzard and my tennis shoes being sopping wet i stick them in a plastic baggie and just set them outside the door. Then we were homebound for a couple of days so we couldn't go running. But then on Thursday we wanted to go running so i looked outside and say my running shoes were missing!! The other sisters were being so sweet to take out our 'garbage' for us, and the dumpster dude had already picked up the trash...so i had to get new running shoes, and they are pretty awesome :)

Taylor street in Weston, after six months I finally took a picture with it! :)
Well that is my week in a nutshell. We only got stuck in the snow 6 times this week so we're doing good! haha :) I love you all so much!! You're the greatest fam ever! I hope you have a FABULOUS week!! 

Ohhhhh and JOSHY WASHY- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Holy cow you're 15 and like a foot taller than me.... so much for being a 'big sister'.... I love you! Hope you had a great day!!!

I love you all, see miracles. Trust in the Lord. Be Obedient. Please the Father. Share the Gospel. Repent!

Love you!!
