A day in my Life

Specifically Tuesday 11/19/13

5 am....wake up then throw a pillow at my comp to wake her up

530.... go to the gym with a member and the elders. We tried doing tai bo, but I think I got more of a work out trying to watch the elders do it

7....put water on the stove to heat up so I can shower with hot water, eat breakfast, get ready

8....Study the scriptures personally. Right now Im reading the New Testament and I studied the Atonement

9....Study with my comp. We sing a hymn, read the white bible (Missionary Rule Book) and share what we studied.

10.....We usually have District meeting, but today we had a zone meeting to think of what goals our zone wants to set for the next year. Every month we want to baptize 20 people with 6 families, that is 240 with 72 for the next year. We want to retain at least 60 percent and reactivate 48 people every 3 months and help 26 youth go on the mission... I hope they complete it cause well I wont be here.

1.....WE go lunch and we wait an hour because it wasn't ready, so we help and talk to her kids and just gain their love. I am maybe in a competition with one of the elders in our ward to be the favorite of this member....lets just say I am winning

3....We start our fast because tomorrow a member of the 70, Elder Amado is going to come and President wants us all to fast. 

We go and visit a member who is trying to prepare to go to the temple, so we are teaching her about that.

4...We past by all of our appointments but no one is home and no one wants to let us in to contact. 

6....We go to a members house and their grandson who is super inactive just happens to be there so we go in a teach him a little about church and the Book of Mormon

7....We are singing in Stake Conference, so we go to practice with the ward

8...We go home and when I walk in the gate of our apt complex my 2 year old neighbor come running to me yelling ¨krueger! Krueger!´´ and kisses me. then we  plan

10...My district leader calls and I give dats and then I sleep!

Hermana tan baggie!!! lol HASTA FEBRERO!!
Standing in 2 countries at once. Mexico and Guatemala.

November 18

 I had a good week! Ha-ha idk if I'm a baptizing machine but some people are just ready! We had another one this week, I'll try to send pics this next week. I maybe broke a rule...oops by holding baby Emily. It was a coincidence kinda that they named her after me, but I think they kept it because I told them it was my name...or that's what I like to think. 

I went to Mexico today and then the beach I ate a coconut but no worries, I didn't touch the fish! Pictures next week.

Veteran's Day

This week was crazy busy! On Tuesday  it was my comp´s birthday, so me and the Elders were real sneaky and early in the morning they came over and threw fireworks into our apartment, scared my comp to death! It was great and then we went and made pupusas with a family! Wednesday we went and had a mini MTC with one of the areas in the zone, all the missionaries went and we did divisions with Future missionaries in their ward, we taught them and then in the afternoon we went and visited less actives and searched for news! It was fun! Thursday I did divisions and went about 40 minutes away and wow was it HOT! Then at night the electricity went out so we didn't have fans and we both couldn't sleep, my comp was like Are you awake? I was like unfortunately yes! and she was like Look at the sky, it is so pretty, I tried to but then realized I didn't have my contacts in and couldn't see a thing! But I believe her, the sky is always pretty here! In our studies the next morning I was reading in Ether 12 and it says that his grace is sufficient for us in our weaknesses, I had always realized this for me and all my weaknesses but I had never applied it to everyone else.Things have been a lot better since I've had this change of perspective! We had a wedding and baptism this Saturday and yesterday 2 people accepted dates to be baptized, one for this Saturday and one for the next and we had 5 people in church! The Lord is really blessing us! We also had our cake class this week, it was a hit! Everyone loved it! But this week I'm making the Elders teach because I'm pretty sure I'm going to the temple! The class should be pretty funny!

We started going to the gym and I'm so happy!

So in our baptism us and the elders decided we would do a special musical number, none of us are really Enrique Iglesias but we decided we would go for it A Capella.  Me and one elder would sing part in English and come in in Spanish and the Latinos would sing in Spanish  So we were all in front and the first verse went great and then the second verse came and the Elder singing with me definitely was not pronouncing the English words correctly! and I lost it! I just started laughing and laughing and my investigator was laughing too, so that didn't help the case!. I'm thinking Why the heck cant he speak English - I ask him that all the time, he is from Utah! It took everything in the 4 of us to keep it together till the end. I felt kind of bad though cause he thought I was laughing at his singing, but that wasn't it at all! But yeah I know how to make things irreverent!

November 4

This week was good and crazy! So first we had a leaders meeting with The Mission President on Tuesday, so that's always a good time with good food. Then I did splits with some sisters and that was a great time! I love divisions! 

So Friday was day of the dead and that means you eat a disgusting dish called fiambre...I wish I had been dead so I didn't have to eat it! It is a mix of beets, every kind of meat that exist, and pickled vegs. Why would I ever want that? Saturday we had a baptism and it was the little boy of our good friend and neighbor.She is planning on getting baptized in December, but her bus broke down and she was running late so I told the elders that we'd wait for her...the little boy didn't want to wait and neither did the elders! I was ticked! But it was fine and worked out. Then Sunday morning comes and he doesn't show up to church so I go to look for him and one of the elders is walking out of out apt complex and I'm like what are doing here and he informed me he was looking for my investigators and he was with the grandmothers (they are super catholic and the mom told us not to tell them about the baptism) and he told them we had baptized him! I could have killed my Zone Leader I went to find my investigator, and they had locked him in his room and wouldn't let him out! But that night the mom came and the elders confirmed him in my apt! It was quite the adventure! Our family had to wait to get baptized but we should be good for Saturday! I love you all!
