This week was awesome. A lot of funny and not so funny things happened. Last p-day we went over to a members house to hang out a little bit and
celebrate Elder Baker's and Elder Escobar's birthdays, it was so much fun. The member's house is huge with a game room that has a slide, ball pit, Foosball and
everything else you could ever imagine. The dad hunts so he had a lot of
stuffed animals in the house. 
Awkward story that happened when I was going to the bathroom, I
felt like something was staring at me and sure enough there was a boar on the
wall ha ha. We had elk for dinner! It was
actually really good and it made me want to go hunting. Anyway, we were there until 7:30 pm, so we had stayed like all day there. 
Tuesday we went to District Training in Reno and we did a church tour
activity. I learned that church tours are very important for your
investigators so they feel comfortable and they can feel the Spirit
before they even attend church. We went to a Mexican
restaurant called La Bamba for dinner with a ward family, it was yummy in my tummy! They always take us to the best places to eat, they had taken us to a BBQ place
called Moes, you would have loved it! We might go snow shoeing with them as
well, it snowed 12 inches here, not even kidding (I know I can be a drama queen
but it really did snow a lot haha). 
Tuesday night I had to go on exchanges with the STL until Wednesday, her area is Reno South. It was cool to experience a different area, different people and a different companion for a day/night, but I was happy to be back to be honest haha.
Wednesday after exchanges we went with our new ward mission leader to a place called Jaysons and
I got ribs...I love me some BBQ!:)
Thursday we went to this Relief Society service auction and we played with
points. I won a dinner which I cashed in last
night haha, it was fun.
Friday we didn't have dinner because we just wanted to get as many lessons
as we could, we only had about 28 lessons this week, a slower, week but it
was very fun!
Sunday I got really sick, on top of my newly developed cold, my stomach
hurt and every time I would stand or sit up I want get dizzy and nauseous. So we missed that first part of church, but a four hour napped helped me a lot because after that I was feeling much
better. We went to the Spanish sacrament and saw the little girl and her brother receive the
special gift of the Holy Ghost. Then she bore her testimony, she was scared to
go up there and asked me if I would go up there with her. It was the
simplest most special and sweetest testimony. She is such a sweet and special
daughter of Heavenly Father. After the baptism on Saturday we got to
see their new house, and she told me she wanted to show me something and she showed
me my name tag that I had given her several weeks ago and the special spot she keeps it in. It made me feel amazing.
I am so incredibly happy she was baptized and she gets to feel the special
love Heavenly Father has for her!:)
On Sunday for dinner we had tri-tip, wild rice, Cesar salad, garlic
bread, and blueberry cobbler (which was actually pretty good:) That's the dinner
I won!:) It was so worth it!:)
Here are some random things that happened this week: I zipped my lip in my jacket zipper and it started bleeding a lot; there was a bug in my bag when I went to go reach for my chapstick-I
freaked out; I slipped on the way walking to the car right on my el pompis (butt in
Spanish haha); there is a sticker picture on our phone and as I was holding the phone I
realized the sticker was gone then 10 mins later found the sticker stuck to my
hair; went to an investigators house and she was hiding from us, I looked in the window and she saw me..awk but she let us in and we had a
lesson with her haha.
Elder Escobar is being transferred so we are going to hang out with the Elders at a members house today. I really miss Washington but Lake Tahoe is so beautiful!:) Oh guess what, my Spanish is getting way way way better. To be honest I have been surprising myself. I am starting to really love my mission. The getting up, exercising, and experiencing new things every single day is fun. I feel my testimony and my relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ strengthening!:) I don't want to jinx myself but my confidence has grown as well:)
Love Always Hermana Amiga
