San Fernando - Post 1

Haha so a while back Steven George (my cousin) put a hashtag in his letter and it made me laugh, and it gave me an idea.  Every day in my planner to remember what happened that day I have a section to put hashtags Haha i know it is cheesy but it works! SO every week i will share with you some of my best hashtags :)

Me and My Mom - Hermana Mowry.
She's finished her mission and  is heading home!

Tuesday- So I get my new companion and we are running around everywhere to get ready and stuff and then we go to work.  IT was good.  That night we had some visitors stay with us.  SOme of the hermanas that were finishing their mission spent the night with us, and one of them was my very own mother, Hermana MOWRY!  Oh man it was such a great night.  We talked for a long time about the mission and our adventures together.  SHe is seriously the best!  #killedmymom

Wednesday- SO i hashtagged this day wrong so I don't remember what happened.  I just remembered we planned for a long time #oopswrongday

Thursday- SO thursday we had our zone meeting.  It was really good.  At the beginning they talked a lot about our calling and our purpose here as missionaries.  i was a bit awestruck because that{s what I had decided to focus on the transfer is magnifying my calling and becoming a misionera mas eficaz.  Also that day there was a sister that was supposed to go home but there was a pari de transporte so her flight was cancelled.  So she accompanied us the whole day.  It was really great :)  I kept tripping over everything, so we made up a song.  So the song la cucaracha is about a cockroach that can't walk because he is missing a leg, but we changed it to this:

Hermana Scarlett! Hermana Scarlett!

Ya no puede caminar (Now she's not able to walk)

Porque tropieza! Porque tropieza! (Because she trips herself, because she trips herself)

Ocho veces por dia! (Eight times each day!)

CHA CHA CHA!

Friday- So friday we had a really awesome member from the neighboring ward accompany us.  He is a recent convert and loves missionary work.  He accompanies just about all the missionaries in the zone.  His name is nico.  I thought he was our age, like 18 19 or 20.  But no! He is only 15 years old!  He is seriously a boss! #chicitonicito

OUR FAVORITE MISSIONARY
(Named Hermana Scarlett!!!)

Saturday- SO this day one of the young women accompanied us to do visits and then afterwards went by to her house and visited with her less-active-non-member family.  She pulled out this way cool looking book of mormon.  We were like Woah!  Where did you get that?!?  They had found a box of them in the church a while back and just gave them to whoever wanted them.  She ran back to her room and brought out 2 more and gave them to us.  I am going to treasure that book of mormon for forever :) Also, we went to visit a  eternal investigator.  Him and his family have a shop.  All of his family are members except for him.  All of them are less-actives except for his sister.  She is awesome and a returned missionary.  One of my first days she came up to us and was like, "I really think he's going to be baptized soon"  So we went by and found him.  He is an interesting person. They sell a lot of those snapback hats there and i realized that they had about 3 with the Charlotte Hornets logo on it!  I was like WHAAAA?!? That's like 20 minutes from where i live!!! SO i took a picture with it and they said when I leave they are going to gift one to me. #NCsnapback #AntiguoLDM

Capilla Abierta - Church Open House
for the new chapel in Vicente Lopez!

Daniel's Baptism in Vicente Lopez!!

Sunday- SO sunday we had a very unique opportunity.  We had been asked to help out at a open hase at the chapel of... VICENTE LOPEZ!!  Yeah the very vicente lopez where i served about 6 months ago :)  The chapel there had been under construction for 9 months and they finally finished it and decided to do an open house to help share the gospel.  SO we got there and started chatting with the sisters serving there and they were like "You will never guess who is getting baptized tonight" I was like "WHO!?!" And they said Daniel Vergaray.  I was shocked and just started crying.  He was an investigator who had been listening to the missionaries for years, and one of his member friends told us to go by and visit him.  SO we did.  He is seriously the best but he was just being stubborn about making the decision to be baptized.  He was studying philosophy and came up with questions to everything that didn't really matter. But they said they taught him awhile then dropped him, but he kept coming to church.  Then a month later he called them and asked them to come by, so they did and he told them that he had a series of dreams and knew that he needed to be baptized and put his own baptismal date.  They told me all of this and i started to tear up.  It was way awesome that exactly that day they had asked me and my companion to go by and help out.  Being able to see the members and see Daniel get baptized helped me feel more at peace with my short time that i spent there in vicente lopez.  #DANIELGOTBAPTIZED #VLcapillaabierta

And then today, I got onto my email and had like 0 e-mails and I am really sad.  I need a bit of moral support because i was pretty stressed out the first couple days and Mondays are my relax, people care about me day.  SO if you all could write me that would be great :)  Love you anyways <3
