Letter #45 that one time my clumsyness found a soul..

HOWZZZIT MI FAMILIA!?!?! :)

end of story!!!! #mormonhelpinghands
but yes... this week was defintely an interesting week here in congreso... && lets just say... all our investigators dropped us or we dropped them... #theworstpartofbeingamissionary #missionaryrejection #itsworsethandating
ha ha ha ha. but yes. in the midst of all this breaking up and saddness... the lord ALWAYS send us miracles!!! but... sometimes in odd unexpected ways... ha ha ha. okay. okay. okay... let me explain myself...
so the other night after ALL our lessons cancelled or totally blew us off we decided to find people in the park close to our house. it was 8:30 p.m. so we had like 30 minutes to make contacts before we had to return to our pench at 9 o´clock sharp. okay. so as we entered this park we prayed that we could find a new investagotor. a daughter or son of our heavenly father that is ready to hear our grand message of the gospel. so yeah. that was our ultimate goal. so in this park people always brings their dogs to play and make friends with other dogs... #doggydaycare. ha ha ha. so we started talking with this one woman with her cute fluffy dog and as we began to bring up church and invting her to church her dog bolts in the other direction and basically she ran away from us in search of her disobient dog... #contactfail.
hermana forte y hermana palacios... #dassswhatsup
so yeah... after much time in this plaza amongst dogs and people... we decided to make our way to our pension... so as i stepped back to begin to leave... i failed to see a large old dog directly behind my legs. so... as i awkwardly and clumsyly stepped over this dog to catch my fall. this old incoherent dog stepped with me in the same direction... oh man!!! it was horrible!!! this patteren continued as i was basically dancing the russian step dance over this old dog and resulted with me on the ground and everyone and their dogs getting a lovely view of my underwear and everything!!!! #ihateskirts #nuffsaid ha ha ha ha. but yes. as i lifted myself off the ground, everyone and their dogs had circled me to make sure i was okay.... how freakin embarrasing!!! my face was so red with embarrassment!!! everyone was probably thinking ¨this poor drunk american missionary....¨ ha ha ha. okay. i promise. i wasn´t drunk. ha ha ha. but to the outsiders eye... it may have appeared so... #soembarrassing!!!! but anywho... this awful and traumatic experience turned out to be a total and complete answer to prayer and blessing because... we made the contact we were looking for!!! we found the son of our heavenly father that´s ready to hear this gospel!!! the owner of this old inconherent dog!!! ahhhh!!! his name is sergio. and seriously... i´m so excited to teach him!!! we have an appointment with him en martes (tuesday - wow. that toook alot of brain power to remember in english!!! #thegiftoftongues #finally!!! ha ha ha.) but yeah... seriously... i love this gospel SO freakin much!!!! and i´m so incredibly grateful for the power of prayer and to know that if we pray with sincere hearts our heavenly father is ALWAYS listening and is ALWAYS ready to answer our prayers!!!! :) don´t believe me!? try it yourself!!! the love from our father in heaven in undeniable!!! i have such a testimony of that!!! :)
