Week 76: You Came Here on Bike?


Hey everybody!! 

This week was absolutely incredible. Full of miracles and happy moments. 

I think the cutest moment of the week was when a little boy came running up to us in the street. We were sitting there on our bikes checking the address we were looking for. He looked at me and asked me where I am from and why I talk funny. I explained everything and his eyes just went wide. He then asked ¨Did you come all the way from the United States on your bike?¨ The innocence of a child is a beautiful thing. And thank goodness there are planes for that.

A funny moment of the week was an unintentional bike accident (that was not bad, I promise). My companion felt so bad and was trying her best to apologize. The bike is fine and I am fine, my elbow is just a little scraped up--haha. But Hermana Rocha has been practicing her English. It killed me that she looked me right in the eye and said ¨I am sorry, you is bad¨. I just about died laughing and had to explain what she said. She meant to say "I am bad," but it was the best apology ever. We are still working on the English part as well. But she can now pray in English and it has been so cool to see the gift of tongues working its magic!


This week Josefa got baptized!! We are so excited for her! She has been such a big blessing and miracle for us. It has been such a joy to see her progress and her determination. I have learned so much from her. Even with opposition, she has been firm in her resolve to follow the Savior and she is a huge example for me! 

The Lord has blessed me so much in these past 18 months. I don't know who or what I would be if I hadn't had this opportunity. I am so grateful for each and every one of the people I have had the opportunity to meet in this time. The Lord has changed me and for this I am forever grateful. 


Thank you to all of you for your love and support. 
I hope you have a great week and know that the Lord loves you. 

Con amor,
