La Joya 💎

 

Hey Yall!  Hope everyone had a great week!  

This week was great!  I got to my new area and the ward is called La Joya and I love it!  It's in the same zone I was in during my training so it's been fun to see old places and familiar faces!

We had a baptism this week so that was awesome!  The ward here is awesome and they help us out a lot with missionary work.  

I have noticed something interesting in this area I have been getting a lot more of random attention.  I think it is partly because a Facebook post kinda went vital of an American missionary so now when they see me they always just stare at me hahahaha  we were eating lunch and some ladies in the kitchen would laugh and whisper to each other whenever I looked over.  It also might be because I bought some new blue light glasses and I've gotten lots of compliments with them

Yesterday in church they told us 15 minutes before hand that we were going to give talks of 10-15 minutes so we were scrambling to get that ready.  When I spoke worse Spanish I felt bad for my comps that I would speak less time so then they would need to talk more.  So this time I was determined not to do that so I was talking for more time and they ended cutting me off  I only talked for like 11 minutes but people from the stake presidency showed up and wanted to talk.  I have never been cut off for speaking too much in a talk especially in Spanish 

I think it is so special how much Our Savior and our Heavenly Father truly love us.  Their work and their glory is that we can return with them.  They want for us so bad that we can have the same happiness that they have.  They have prepared the way and it is our responsibility to find the path and stay on it.  They will always help us along the way as well!  How special is that?  I love them!💎💎💎💎
