This week was a good one! We talked a few times with Luci... We found out that her main concern in life is that she doesn't have a family. She thinks that god isn't aware of her, because she doesn't have a husband or children, and shes already 50. So its not like we can promise her that she can have kids in this life. But I was talking with her, and we both started crying... because I just want to help her so badly, but I'm not sure how. We´re praying hard for her.. and she came to church yesterday! Also, i complimented this dream catcher she had on her house, and she was like "hermana, take it take it!" and I didn't want to, but she insisted. So now I have a cool dream catcher gift from her :)

We hosted a mini MTC experience for the youth this Saturday. My companion and I were in charge of teaching them about the first lesson, the restoration. This is obviously the lesson we share the most, because its our unique message to the world. I love every time when I get to talk about Joseph Smith, because I feel like that's when I can bear strongest testimony. I feel the spirit in my heart confirming the testimony every time I say it. We taught that class 4 times, and then had a mini lunch, and then our mission president came and spoke. Then we got split up and were in charge of about 10 girls, and took them out contacting for 2 hours. And ohhhhh man, that was an interesting time haha. All the girls started complaining about how hot it was, and how they were getting blisters, and needed water, etc. And I'm like... we´ve been walking for 40 minutes! haha, just goes to show how tough missionaries are. And i guess I'm just accustomed to walking this much. But they were struggling. Still fun though, because I got the chance to talk a lot with the jovencitas.
They were asking if i know one direction and Justin Beiber, and I told them that I've been to their concerts, and they thought I was just the coolest person ever haha. There was one girl who came with us, that has a disability.. where shes almost blind,, and has a couple other physical things wrong. But she really wanted to try a contact, so we had her knock a house.. and she shared the most beautiful testimony about how even though she has this disability, she knows that god loves her and is real. And testified about adversity... and my heart was so full, I started to tear up, and after the contact, i had to give her a big hug.
... and here's the bad part..... I FORGOT MY NAME TAG. I have never forgotten it until that day. I felt so dumb.. they had to give me one of the fake paper ones that all the teenagers had. But oh well, I just told our class that I was an example of what NOT to do haha.
Something I´ve been trying to focus on this week is believing in Christ. Sounds weird... haha. i definitely believe IN Christ. But I need to believe him. I read a talk by Bednar that talks about not only believing Christ generally.. but specifically and personally. That his promises and blessings extend to us personally. "we testify of what we know to be true. But maybe the better question, is do we believe what we know?"
I hope you all have a great week. :)
much love from Formosa,
