Sally forth!

Howdy, folks!

Shout out to my Dad who turned 55 this past week! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPI!! 

Life is great! The weather is bipolar (what's new?) and we saw some pretty sweet miracles this week. Literally we met a lady named Milagro. And for all you gringos out there, Milagro means miracle in Spanish. You're welcome. 

Haha, but really, that story is whack. Sister Martinez and I were being good, diligent missionaries tracking down a less active, and he wasn't a very happy camper... BUT! We knocked on his neighbor's door across the hall and she totally welcomed us in. Her name was Ana, and the reason she let us in was really funny, actually. She LOVED my glasses and she wanted to try them on. Literally, that's why she let us in. Then we proceeded to help her order glasses on zennioptical.com (why, yes. that was an endorsement for zenni. I love that site! (Right now you might be thinking: not sure if missionary email or a zenni advertisement... you decide)) because she doesn't read a lick of English and then she accepted an invitation to hear more about the gospel. And the best part is: her friend's name is Milagro. So yeah. That was a weird evening. And we smelled like a smoke stack afterwards, but it's fine. Teaching the Word of Wisdom will be fun for sursies.  

What's more, I got an ice cream cone from McDonald's that had a crazier angle goin on than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was an engineering marvel of the modern world, my friends. 

Well, I love this gospel. A scripture that has really resonated with me this past week and going into this next transfer (ooop, another miracle! Sister Martinez and I get another 6 weeks together!!) is Ether 12:6. Or if you really want a good read, go for gold and read the entire chapter! I know that faith precedes the miracle. And sometimes when you feel like you're just banging your head against a wall, take a breather and check your faith, hope, and charity. The gospel is true! 

I love you all! Have a great week! Sally forth!

Con Amor,
