Awkward day =P

July 20th

HOOOOOOOOLA!!! MIS AMIGOS!!!!!!! Wow I cant believe it is P-day already! Time goes by so fast here =O

This week has been a little weird, first I will talk about the most funny/awkward day I have had in my entire mission:

1. We were eating lunch with family, and it was dead silence at the table. I tried asking questions to get them to talk and the family would just say "yes" or "no" or "grunt" and we sat there in silence the whole lunch XP and when we left my companion said "That has been our most awkward moment for today"

2.We went to visit a family of members (Part of our mission is to take care of the members too) and we went to teach them a lesson and me and my companion were not sure what to teach because we had not planned on visiting them. We settled in and started asking a few questions to figure out what we needed to teach, it went like this:

us:"How are your prayers going? Do you pray as a family?"

family:"yep, we pray every morning and night together."

us:"Oh wow! Felicidades! Are you reading the scriptures too?"

Family: "Yep! We read a chapter of the book of Mormon every morning together and a chapter individually in the night"

us:"Seriously? Wow! well, how are you family home evenings?"

Family: "We have them every Monday at 6:00"

us:"wow...well..." We could not think of anything to teach them! They were perfect and we were in a awkward silence for about 1 minute and I finally just yelled "Ah! You guys are perfect! We don't need to teach you anything!" they laughed and started being humble telling they had stuff to work on and yah.

and when we went to leave the house, I asked if they knew anyone we could visit and the dad pulled out his phone and gave me a name, address and phone number right there! Yep, I thought I was dreaming. The family was perfect, I am pretty sure if every family was like them we would not need missionaries haha.

We left the house and my companion said "nope, that was more awkward then lunch"

3. We were contacting people in the street and we contacted a woman and her husband in front of their house. We asked if we could share a message with her, and she said "of course! Come sit with us!" so we happily sat down at the table with them, excited to share a message with them. The lady told us that her husband had Alzheimer's, so don't be worried if he yells or something like that. 

So we explain to her about our purpose as missionaries and we pulled out our himnarios to sing a hymn when her husband lets one rip right there. Yes, he farted.

The lady elbows him and says "shhh, they are trying to share a message about Jesus to us!" me and my companion were trying so hard not to laugh. We began singing, and got about half way through and just bursted out laughing. We could not hold it in anymore, and then the lady starts laughing with us not knowing why we a laughing.

Yeah leaving the lesson my companion said "Okay! This is the most awkward moment for the day! Yah! No more!" hahahah

What else happened this week? 

I had to teach the district meeting Tuesday, And I accidentally went Elder Holland on my district and went 20 minutes over time,(time flies by when your receiving revelation) and when I finally ended and went to apologize to my district leader for going over time he said "That was awesome! I wanted you to keep talking! Im going to ask you to teach in the district meetings more often!" yay! 

Perla is now teaching lessons with us!!! Whoow!!! The best part about helping people be baptized is watching them grow after the Baptism =D I love working with converts they are the best!!! 

We have had so much fun teaching and learning about families this week. Honestly, if you put your family first and everything else after it, life is so much easier! I know as we think about eternal goals and what decisions will benefit us for the future instead of what we want "now", we will be more happy and have more peace in this life and for eternity. =) 

 I just got an email from my other companion in Mochis, Two of the families I was working with before just got Baptized!!!!! =D Whoow!!! I LOVE THE MISSION!!!! =D
