Hola!!!!

Well this week went by fast. It was slow for work but we had lots of ward activities and good turnouts to all. On Wednesday we had a movie night, Friday was a Family Home Evening and on Saturday in the morning we had a temple trip and that evening was karaoke! Yes, I sang. It was terrifying but I had my comp plus my district leader helping me; we sang "Bailando." It was a very busy week but we enjoyed it. Having so many activities made it easier to invite people that we talked to in the street.

 Something random that happened last week: on Thursday we went outside and found that there was a rainbow-like ring around the sun! It was really cool but everyone else was freaking out. We passed by the grocery store later on and people were going crazy stocking up on supplies. Everyone thought it was a sign that the world was ending!

The unusual rainbow.

 This week we've been studying a lot from Preach My Gospel and I've focused on working on my patience. I've realized in the mission that while I am patient in trials and situations, I'm not always very patient with people. Something that's really stuck with me is that, when we are impatient with others, with their flaws or whatever, we're really judging them and expecting more from them than necessary. Also, by being impatient with them, we're really just impatient with God and his timing. His timing is always perfect and so we need to develop more faith and with more faith comes more patient. I love this work and I love you all! Have a great Monday!

Love,
