So there's a million things I wanna say but to start off, it's mango season and it's the greatest season of my life! We just eat and eat mango's! It's incredible. OK so this week was nuts. Our "chosen" family we found out does witchcraft, our baptisms almost fell through, we went to Talanga @ 7:00 to baptize Jose when there was basically rivers instead of streets because it's the rainy season. And the power went out, to coming back home Sunday morning and looking for David at a neighbor's house so he could get conferred, to the husband of Dania letting us marry them so she can get baptized, getting yelled at by woman in the ward because she was getting married the same day as our baptism, realizing that gossip and judging people is the great stumbling block that prevents us from loving one another and the stumbling block to bring new people to the church, and finally.... FINDING THE FAMILY THAT IS READY TO BE BAPTIZED AFTER !! MONTHS OF SEARCHING FOR THEM!!!! (and they're not witches!) This week was pack full of miracles and full of crazy stuff. Oh, as well! We're on track this month, and we have all the people to break the baptism record in our zone Talanga! Our missionaries are so great! It's been some crazy couple of days. But I've been reading 'Jesus the Christ' and first off...this book is incredible. I've learned soooo much in such little time thanks to this book. And thought of how hard Satan tried to tempt the Savior. Can we even imagine how Satan must have tried his all, his absolute best in trying to make the Savior mess up? Because if he would have made him slip up, he wins and everyone becomes miserable like him. I'm more than sure that Satan did everything to try to get him to slip up. But the beautiful thing is, Christ didn't give in. Not once. That gives me a lot of hope and an urge to be better because if Satan threw everything he could have and didn't succeed, it's the same with us. Satan will throw all that he can but if we are founded on that rock of Christ and depend on Him, we will be safe. Because the Lord knows how it feels. So just remember to secure yourself even more on that rock. Do it today. Do what need to be done to be safe and secure in the future. Oh and check out my 2 new fav scrips, along with Matthew 5:14, 3 Nephi 18:24, and Moroni 7:44-48.
"But as it is written, eye hath seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." - 1 Cor. 2:9
"Behold all ye that kindle fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks, walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled.." - 2 Nephi 7:11

This week I'm thankful for mangos, the rainy season, the new fam, a house to live in, my ward in Sunstone, interchanges with Elder Corey, when there's water, the Book of Mormon, Jesus the Christ, Mariah y David, Deal or No Deal, that it's cold, Elder Wallentnies old boots.
