Week 17....


well another of one of the most frustrating weeks of my life! gosh,  i cant believe how much the people here don't want to work! no one will help us! all the leaders of the ward make up so many excuses and it makes it super hard to get much done.. we are working sooo hard and aren't seeing much progress here at all... boyd and i have been thinking that they will be closing the area down to only one set of missionaries because 4 isn't making a difference... i have learned a lot about patience, because we literally are working soo hard and serisouly its sad that we have the lowest numbers in the zone... i know its not about the numbers, because they aren't just numbers they are souls, Gods children! but they wont listen! our numbers of progress doesn't show how hard we work every week!  it's really frustrating... but i know with all my heart that i am supposed to be here in Samegua right now! even if it was only to plant some seeds of hope and love! It wont bring me down! I am just gonna keep following every freaking rule and do my best to work my hardest all the time! 
we have some plans this week to really try and do our best to change this situation around with our ward and area....  i dont know if it will work but we will see!!
My companion and i are doing really great together!! we get a long really well! it is truly a blessing to have elder boyd as my comp! we will be finding out if there changes this week at transfers.  saturday we will find out if we leave and if we do where we go! we dont know what to think right now! haha we have our guesses on who is leaving and stuff, but its not for sure! i will let you know all the details when i figure it out next week! i am kinda scared, to tell you the truth!  i will miss Boyd if he leaves, a ton! he has become really one of my closest friends and has impacted my life in so many different ways, I truly can't describe it in an email! i love that guy a ton! 

anyway, some things that happened this week:
well we beat the latinos at soccer again!! hahaha,  we went in there and tore it up! it was way fun! they got mad and they had to buy us pop! it was legit! us greengos really rock it at soccer! 

   we went exploring in the fields down the hills in our area and we contacted this guy named freddy rojas!! he is awesome! he is 74 and he has a huge avocado orchard and works it all by him self, cause he doesnt trust people to work for him! anyway he taught us about his trees and then we taught him about the gospel, and he wants to learn more! we visited him and his wife.  His wife is a hard catholic and a nun even live in their house but he feels like he has been searching for someeting more...so that is good for us!! his wife is super super nice too and wants to learn more about us! so its cool to talk to them! he is a great guy for sure!!

     oh and i puked again:]!! haha it was a good storry actually! i wasn't feeling too hot all day and finally at dinner i couldn't barely move! i didn't eat and tried everything to feel better, but nothing worked!  I was just dying!  i couldn't take it, so i said a prayer and asked for help to do something that would make me feel better! the spirit told me "stand up, and turn around." so i speedily followed that prompting and right when i turned it literally flew out of me into the toilet!!!!! i felt everything from my stomatch leave!!!!!! holy cow, it was the craziest feeling.  I only puked once and that was it! i felt sooo good and i was so hungry after!!! luckily in my christmas package i found some tuna:) sorry momma... hehe and i ate that! gosh it was amazing!!! i love tuna!! but, ya so that was a crazy testimony builder of the power of prayer! i know my savior is watching over me and has felt everything i have felt!! i love that i have the ability to communicate with him even in times that seem odd!! i love my savior with all my heart!
