It was a successful week but uneventful. But I'll just tell you about the best thing that happened during one of our lessons. Remember Angie and her granddaughter? Well, we started teaching Leilony (the granddaughter). She is quite literally the CUTEST human on this planet. She giggles at everything. I absolutely adore her. We starting talking about baptism and how she can be clean from all the things she wished she didn't do. She thought that was pretty cool. Then we talked to her about the Holy Ghost. How she will have him as a constant friend. Someone to tell her if something is good. Then she said "my heart is beeping right now". We jumped on that and said, "Leilony that's him! You're feeling him right now!" Isn't that the cutest thing? I then felt that I should talk to her about eternal families. And how some day her family can be together forever. That when we die, it isn't the end. She responded with "I'm going to cry". Honestly, the spirit was incredibly strong during this lesson with her. The veil is so thin. This 9 year old girl has the strongest testimony of the Savior. I'm constantly learning from her. This was probably the best lesson of my mission so far.
So for today, just wanted to piggy back off of what I said to Leilony. Families are meant to be eternal! I'm SO thankful for my mom and dad choosing to be sealed in the temple. That simple choice they made years ago has changed my eternity. Someday, I hope to change the eternity of my own children in the same way. I know that these temples are so sacred. Heaven on earth. I cannot wait until I can go regularly again!

12-then we walked past them and they asked to take a picture WITH US jajaja! Oh how the tables turn. 
13- this adorable hispanic woman ran up to us and told us that she just got out of her first session at the temple and she received her endowment. I feel like I've never seen someone appreciate the temple so much. She was so happy. Truly inspiring. 
14- the temple just looked so nice so here's a photo
15- our friend river! honestly he's the best. he's literally our angel. 
16- so my mom sends me a message and tells me that she's going to have lunch delivered to me today. I'm thinking "oh wow how nice of her!" A few hours later, I'm at the VC (trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my life aka college stuff) and there is a louuuuuud band at the door. I was thinking "okay chill doordash guy". I walked around the corner...and my aunt and uncle were standing outside! WHAT?! So they were my mom's doordash today! We got to chat for a little while. It was so nice to see some people from home. I loved catching up with them. Shout out to Ryan and Adele!
