Strange Week

This week was a bit strange, pffft what am I say all  weeks are strange i´m in a foreign country.  But seriously this week was strange.  A holiday started called Carnival...  Basically it´s like a 6 day ordeal when people just throw flour and eggs at eachother, wear silly masks, and have a nother excuse to get drunk!  Mix it all together and you got "set sail for fail!" .  Carnival is a missionaries nightmare.  People that you teach aren´t paying attention and not even the members went to church this week haha.  We managed to get 3 investigators to sacrament meeting.  All is well though it was still a really good week.  Learned more gospel truth, teaching better, and starting to get the hang of the language.  I still have difficulties but it´s not to the point where I want to run to a corner and slam my face against the wall :D  

Another fun thing was I was on a division with the zone leader this week.  And it was the day carnival start I think.  So we got flour and eggs and just started going crazy in the house.  4 missionaries doing that = lots of fun.  Except clean up wasn´t to great.  It´s great to have some real life fun every once in a while.  You kind of just in the habit of doing work work work work never have time to do anything or think about yourself.  so that was a nice 1 hour break.  

The thing i´ve learned this week is how prayers are answered.  On Heavenly Fathers time, and if you actually want to find an answer and are willing to act on that answer he will give it to you.  We need to be searching diligently for this answer,  it won´t be thrown in your face.  Faith is required.  Lastly a humble heart.  <---- if you don´´t have that good luck getting an answer haha.  But yeah just this gospel is so perfect I absolutely love this mission,  and my life.  

Be strong and have patience everything will be alright
Love you all!
He lives
