Hola amigos!
This week was pretty cool. I've been slacking on the 100 day thing,
but one of them was to make cookies, so I did that.
63: do 63 squats/push-ups/crunches/ (64)lunges
62: hair bun day
61: make cookies
I did those things!
We had a family home evening at the church building. No one came
except the family we asked to share a spiritual thought! We played set
up an obstacle course. The person had to follow a string to the end
while we tried to distract them. The string represents the scriptures,
the word of God. We and the obstacles represent things in the world
that distract us from staying on the path!
Allen and Selena came to church again today! We also had a surprise
person come to church! Cecilia came to Tony's baptism last Saturday
and came to church yesterday with her grandson. It was super neat! She
told after that she hadn't planned on coming, but she asked her
grandson if he wanted to go. He said yes. Last week, she wasn't home
for our lesson, so we went sure what was going on, but she was happy
to be at church. We had a lesson with her afterwards about the
restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the importance of
priesthood authority. She has read parts of the Book of Mormon, Jesus
the Christ, conference talks, and other church sponsored literature.
I'm excited to see what happens!
Tony has a few pets and one is a gecko. I asked him if it would bite
me, and he said, "Uh, yes hermana! Only if you put your finger right
by his mouth." Ha, so I did. It didn't hurt, and now I'm not afraid of
Tony's gecko named Tony. He named it after himself.
Hasta luego!

Hola Amigos!
This week was pretty interesting. We had a baptism! Tony was baptized!
His testimony was really cute. He talked about the restoration of the
gospel. He was talking about his experience being taught when his mom
walked up to help a little bit. He took her suggestions then asked her
to sit down... It was the funniest thing. I'm grateful for Tony. Even
though he is 10, he knows the gospel is true. He knows Christ is his
Savior.
Grandma was baptized! I should have pictures next week.
Hasta Luego!

Hola amigos!
This past week was pretty good! Those we are teaching are progressing well. Michelle, Tony, and Antonio came to church! I'm impressed. Allen and Selena were sick, but maybe next week.
I'm grateful for church! It is so much easier to feel the Spirit and learn when we are surrounded by people who are also learning, improving, and trying to be Christlike. We all make mistakes and are human, but we can all repent and choose to not be offended.
Tony is getting baptized on June 3rd! I'm so excited for him! He has changed so much in such a short amount of time. Pictures to come...
Fun fact: my grandma is also getting baptized this next week! Baptism is an important promise we make with God to take Christ's name upon us, keep the commandments, and remember Christ always. Who wouldn't want to do that? Christ was baptized, and he was perfect! Let's follow his example.
This week and last week I had interesting experiences with bathrooms. One day, I really had to pee, but the person's bathroom didn't have a door. I went to the bathroom anyway, and Sister Patterson and Sister Pratt were the door. Another day, someone's power was out, but I had to pee, so I went to the bathroom in the dark. It's ok. I drink a lot of water here in the desert.
Sister Patterson and I really slacked on our 100 day activity list this past week.
79: buy something you've never bought
78: drink 1 gallon of water
77: cry
76: go to bed 1 hour early
75: climb a tree
74: wear zero makeup
73: share a comment in relief society (women's group at church)
I bought something on Monday, I drank a gallon of water, I cried, I went to bed early; however, I did not climb a tree, wear zero makeup, or share a comment at church. To be fair with the last one, I wasn't there. We taught the little kids. I did talk quite a bit in Sunday school. We had a lesson on baptism, and the teacher asked solid questions.
Next week:
72: go to a new store
71: do a kart wheel in a skirt
70: every time says "what," stick your tongue out
69: make a video
68: build a fort
67: go running
66: best your testimony at church
This will be an interesting week.
I don't have many photos from this week.
Hasta Luego!

1. Sister Garrity is really sick.
