Martin Carrera - Perks of Being a White Girl

Hey there fam bam! How are things in AZ?  Man oh man is my weather today really what it is in AZ?  Because its so hot here... haha I am going to die when I get home but that's all good. Life has been crazy, busy, stressful, but AMAZING all in one.. I guess that is just how you describe a mish. So guess what happened this week... so there was this lady that came up to us in the street and was like hey guera... (white girl) when are you coming to visit me and we were like um we would love to visit you, when is better to pass by?.,.. Where do you live? ... things like that. Well then when we had our cita she told us she had talked to the elders before and she had gone to church with her daughters and then she started telling us about movie how the U.S. kills mexis at the border and we were like GREAT SHE HATES WHITE PEOPLE... but then she told us she likes some ahah but anyways that night we were looking in the area book and on her registro is says.... QUIEREN PECAR CON LOS ELDERS CUIDADO! haha which means they want to sin with the elders be careful and we were like oh crap... but her younger daughter was really interested so we will see how that goes... her name is Chelo... and her daughter is Yaqueline ... yes with a y! So that is fun

Also we had FHE this week and we played minute to win it games and what other fast games we could think of. We have this super cool new investigador that is the nephew of one of my fav people in Izcalli and long story short he went to General Conference and she was there visiting an elder and she was like AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH mi sobrino... and she was super excited and she was like hnas you better take care of him!  He is cool, his name is Eder and he is a police man... retired profesh soccer player or something like that. But he went to the casa abierta and basically said so when can I get baptized #blessings 

Carlos is doing awesome... he is now gonna prepare to get the priesthood and he is so happy! and his family wants to listen now #YESSS   He got confirmed and is happy and will be a great member and of course we will keep on visiting him we teach all the lessons after baptism too! 

Also madre got the shoes SHOUTOUT TO YOU! for being the best and now I am prepared for rainy season... haha everyone was making fun of my shoe situation... but we are all good now! 

Also guess who I get to shake hands with Saturday... ELDER DALLIN H OAKS! Me and han mortenson are in the mish choir and we are singing Battle Hymn of the Republic and a spanish hymn that doesn't exist in English! But we had choir practice on sat and it was fun because most of the white hnas are there so that was fun to see all of them! 

We also went to the visitor center with Iker and his abuela and it was super good for them... and he cried.. no bawled when we had to leave... he loved it so much! But man there is a TON OF WORK HERE IN CARRERA! Also the other day the zone leaders were telling us that they are gonna change all the ward boundaries and that we will be able to change to a chapel closer! WE have stake conference in three weeks and in a week is cambios so hopefully I am still here with hermanita Mortenson ... I would be super sad if I left!  Life is way good and I just love every sec of being here. The mish as changed my life for sure and I have gained such a strong testimony through serving others and forgetting myself! But yeah love you guys... also parks and laur congrats on the house and starting your lil fam... also are you naming the child Lake or was that just decor? Welp love ya all have a fab week!!!!
