Week41? When life gives you balloons...

 Ummm. Today was fun. Made tres leches for the first time and that was awesome. Forgot to take pics but it was delicious. Here's the rest of the week:

Crazy lady - lots of people always ask me what's the weirdest thing that's happened and I think this is the new champion. We go to this lady's house to give her a blessing before she has to leave because she's on a "tight schedule" she then proceeds to talk to us for 1½ hours in which she tells us random stories, sees things that aren't there, and then starts flirting hard with Elder Fuluvaka. It was super awkward. 

Another crazy lady - this one was way less crazy. She was only crazy because she was stressed out from getting ready to move. Granted I think half of it was her fault because she was kinda a hoarder. But she did give us a good amount of food so that was awesome, except for the fact we are on bike. So we put it all in a backpack and healed 50lbs of food stuff home. 

Karrina - She's a convert for over a year and we were able to talk with her and hear her testimony and conversion story. It was cool. We also brought a youth but he didn't say much so that was funny.

Khimani - you might not remember her but she was on date for April 30 but then the devil got in the way and she ghosted us. But because of seeing her again last week and meeting with her she wants to be baptized and is ready to take the steps necessary to do it. She chose July 2 as her date and she went to church again and loved it. Pray for her to stay on the covenant path.

Balloon animals - so we got a random text from a member asking if we knew how to do balloon animals. For whatever reason my comp said yes despite neither of us knowing how to. So we used Facebook and learned how to make 5 different animals. We show up at this "last week of school party" and get swarmed by kids. And let me tell ya, they were savage. I'm glad I didn't grow up in that neighborhood. We ended up being there for 2 hours and it is now one of my oddest P day memories. 

Spiritual thought - it's a short one this week but it helped me out a lot so I hope you can get something from it too. 

This week lots of stuff was happening and I felt like I could be doing better. And during our mission devotional some one talked about remembering the plan. Sometimes we get so caught up in the moment that we forget the big picture. We forget who made the plan and that He is perfect. And when we remember that and understand what it means for us it can bring a huge sense of relief. I experienced that this week and it was amazing. I hope you can all do the same if you're feeling like that. 

I love you all and I think you're all amazing! Sorry for the late email but have a great rest of your week!
