LUNES
AWESOME lesson with sisters #thisiswhatawhitefieldlookslike #bestlessonever #ilovethemsomuch

One of my favorites!!!
- We met with her for the first time in a couple weeks and had a really great lesson. I love her so much. Keeping her in my prayers always :)

Cool physician we met on the train coming home
- Met this super cool guy on the way home. He knew who we were as Mormons and had a few questions. He was really cool.


MARTES
Card making at the church #whentwoguysshowuptotryandgetinthechurch #andthenyougetscaredandcallyourDL #wearefine #keptthedoorslocked #sorryiftheywantedthegospel #gofindtheelders
- We were at the church and it's policy that the doors have to be locked if only sisters are in the church but then these two guys showed up and tried to get in and we were scared so we didn't let them in...they weren't members of our ward. Hope if they wanted the gospel they found the elders!

Hermana and landlord again! "Sisters!! You keep helping them, they need the help! I'll go over there and let you in!!" #mademyday #somemissionariesreallymadeagoodimpression #stillwaitingforthefruits #heisbasicallyamember #whyyounottho?
- This guy really is so awesome. He should just be a member already. He is just great. I think we might try and get his info so the elders can go and visit him again. Maybe after all these years he's a little more prepared to accept the message. And if not, still would be great for him I think :)

Teaching! #planofsalvation #fistbumps #bala-la-la-la
- We taught this stud family again and an old investigator of ours we passed off to the elders always does the Big Hero 6 fist bump with us. They're my favorite.

English class!! #iloveservice #myfavoritepeople
- We tried to help them learn how to say the word "stamp". You would not believe how hard that word is for them to say. I think all those years of mom teaching people how to pronounce things has rubbed off on me. We walked through every sound. Wouldn't move on til they got it. We'd combine a few sounds. They'd get it. Then, we say the word. "Estomp." Every. Time. Ugh. It's a work in progress :)


MIERCOLES
Last district meeting #hastaver #workshop #elderpavontestimony
- I gave the workshop of our last district meeting together. It'll be weird having half of the people be new...I'm excited, but it'll be odd.

#whenyoucanteverseeyourlessactivesorinvestigators #justletusloveyou!
- Ugh. Let us love you!!

Dinner with Hna! #favorite #anotheronewhosaysweneedtobeskinny #arewereallythatgordita?
- really good food but said she wasn't giving us rice because we need to be skinny and rice makes you fat 😂 (are we really getting that bad...? 😜)

Temple lesson!!!! #AMAZING #holySpirit #soprepared #vamosaltemplo #alreadyhasherrecommend #nextsaturday?!?!
- *happy dance*


JUEVES
Talking about the video the elders have of us at the noche de hispanidad, Hna Voss: "Seriously, I need to get that video so I can send it home to my family and they can see that I'm Hispanic now." #wemightbelatinas #pinkskirts #columbia #represent
- We danced with the Sociedad de Socorro for the noche de hispanidad and we're representing Columbia so we did a Colombian dance...in other words we all put on the skirts and just followed around the one Colombian lady who danced with us haha! It was way fun though! And the elders have a short video of it apparently and we were talking about needing to get it from them for this purpose haha

HOLY LESSONS. #THISISHOWYOUDOMISSIONARYWORK
When your less active mom of one of your investigators calls you and asks if you can be at her house in 45 minutes, it takes 35 to get there, and you're barely even dressed #YESWECAN #tendermercies #whywegoingthough? #noidea #followtheSpirit #gladwealwayshaveit #goingforthtocomfortandserve #wasgoingtocallsomeoneelsebutknewshecouldcountonuscoming #membertrust #somuchSpirit #prayer #hertestimonythough #saidshewouldcometochurch #food #doublewhammy #secondlesson #weallbecrying
- Our awesome lesson. This was all great. She also fed us awesome food so that was pretty great. Hispanics are my favorite. I just love this people. We will hopefully be seeing her again soon this week :)

When you have a lesson with your two new investigator sisters and they are just so prepared and darling it kills you... #planofsalvation

Noche de Hogar with our favorite family #restoration #holytestimonygrowth #daughterissuchastud #maybemylasttimeteachingthem

Did we earn our pillow? #heckyeah
- yeah we did.


VIERNES
When you try to take a picture with your companion and the wind blows your hair where it just consumes both of you...

That awkward moment when the address for one of your potentials is that of a Jewish synagogue #nottheaddresswearelookingfor
- yup. That happened.

"But soft, what lights through yonder winder breaks!" #whenyourcomptriestoquoteshakspearebutaccidentallygoescountryonyou
- this was an awesome moment that resulted in both of us dying on the floor laughing hahahaha

#notrainingcalls
#slowdayafterarealdayfeelsextraslow
#onlythreedaysleft

36th St sign... "life is pain, highness. Anyone who says oth--" "not with the gospel of Jesus Christ!!" #menarethattheymighthavejoy
- That picture we have of us at 36th street. It's supposed to say "wet paint"


SABADO
#lastrealdayofproselytingjuntas

[all these next few were on the way to visit the less active in the hospital]
#whenyougetonthesubwaylookoverandseeyourelders #really? #whataretheodds #whenyoursubwaycarlightsturnout #thatsnew
- We stepped on the train, look over, and there's the elders. Then when we got on the next train the subway car lights turned out. That was weird. We all thought we were gonna die for a second there, haha

When you see a nun and burst into sound of music and your companion doesn't leave you hanging #thehillsarealivewiththesoundofmusic #aaaahhhh #frolicsinafield #thishappensallthetime
Elder Weisler: *clearly gets reference* *beams* Elder Creager: *clearly doesn't get reference* *what are you doing* *why are you singing* *why did we get the weird sisters* *stop*
- This was great. I saw this nun coming out of the NYU Lutheran hospital and I turned to Hna Voss and started signing the first line of the sound of music and then she carried it on with the next little line. Now that happens all the time, but the funny part was when Elder Weisler got our reference and Elder Creager did not at all haha!

Lesson #scripturereading #sheisjustdarling #hopefullyatchurchnextweek #whenyouintroduceyourselfasyourcompanion
- Accidentally introduced myself as Hna Voss...wow we've been together too long 😂😂

When you go to do a look up and are walking down a dark street and seven drunk men somehow are in the exact way of your path and there is no way around them...but then God is just so good that He somehow makes it so you walk within inches of them, right through, between them all, and they don't even see you #tendermercies #notlikeanythingwouldhavehappenedbutgaveussomecomfort #angelsroundaboutyou
- That is pretty self explanatory I think, and pretty cool. Nothing big, I don't think anything would have happened anyway, but it definitely brought us some comfort and reminded us He is with us, so that was great :)


DOMINGO
