¡La más bonita de todo el país!

(that is a song written and performed by some kids in our branch. It's a song dedicated to their mom. I will sing it for you all one day). 

That's right. This week is mother's day. Woohoo! I know I've said this before, but the mission really does make you thankful for your parents. You just see a lot of examples and say wow good thing my parents weren't like that. I'm really grateful for my childhood. 

Anyway this week was full of unexpected twists and turns that wouldn't be all that exciting for you guys. Like for example, obedience. I've been improving on my goal to be right on time instead of like 3 minutes late (to bed, getting up, to start studying, to go out and work, whatever). And many other just-as-exciting details. Or having an "activity" that no one came to cause it was raining. But! At the end, one person came. And we actually really needed to talk to that person. Or like when showed up at our lunch appointment and the sister wasn't home (what? what could be more important than giving the missionaries lunch?). When she showed up she told us it was because she went to buy a guitar for her boyfriend who was visiting from Santiago for his birthday and then she left it in the taxi and spent the whole morning trying to get it back. She was freaking out because she hadn't found it, so we cooked lunch with her and sang hymns and she calmed down. It ended up being a great b-day lunch for everyone. And to top it off, they even found the guitar later! Or when in Sacrament meeting a recent convert shared with everyone his revelation that there would be an earthquake next week. I can't help but be a little bit nervous for fast and testimony meeting - especially when it's an investigator's first time. But you know what? I learned something important this week.

You know how everyone jokes about how if the church wasn't true, the missionaries would have destroyed it a long time ago? I see that being more and more true all the time. If this wasn't true there's no way it would still be standing. We're so imperfect. And the Lord is the one who is really running this show. He knows so much more than us and we just need to trust Him more.

Love you all, have a great week!
