Its that time again : )

I don't know how, but it feels like time is going by so stinking fast, as of tomorrow, I am at my 5 month mark out on a mission! That is crazy, because that means in just one month, I only have 1 year left....That seems so short! Don't worry tho, I'm not distracted by the numbers, it just hits me every once in a while! This week has been another good one, kind of a different type of week, but still good. A lot of our time has been spent doing service projects- my favorite! I love lending a hand to people who need it, especially to those who do need help, but are afraid to ask. You just show up and do it, instead of waiting for them to call and ask : ) the look on their faces is priceless! *if you ever need help, don't feel bad about asking, when you ask, you are giving people the opportunity to help!

The highlight of this week is definitely the weekend, mostly saturday. We spent the morning helping clean a lady's house who was suppose to be moving to California, but she ended up getting damage to her ear that she has had surgery on and was rushed to the hospital. We showed up at her house and helped the ladies from church to clean her house and get it ready for the new renters. It was a great way to spend the morning! We also visited an older lady named Chris- she is 80 years old and is the sweetest thing! She always offers us banana popscicles! haha, we taught her and then while visiting found out that her dog, Shadow, had ran away this week. She hadn't seen him since wednesday : ( I know the feeling of missing an animal, so we felt super bad for her, and told her we'd keep an eye out... after that, we had the blessing of being able to see Yesica get Baptized by her Husband Henoc. Its been amazing to work with them, and I definitely can say that I consider them life long friends. Their family has grown so much and it was just incredible to see them all together at the baptism. I just love being a missionary! After the Baptism we had dinner with the Mendoza's, they fed us Jalepeno Poppers...if you have never heard of them look them up!!! They are so stinkin good! Not spicy at all...or maybe I'm just adjusting to the way people eat their food here (spicy or spicier haha). After spending time at their home, we drove to visit someone on the other side of town, their name just popped in our heads, so we started driving. While going, we drove passed a park, and saw shadow! the dog that Chris was missing! It was the oddest thing! We pulled over without even thinking and tried to call it over to us, but it ran back into the park. So we raced (while keeping the speed limit, don't you worry : P) to go see Chris and tell her that we found her dog! Turns out that she had been praying and crying for the an hour because she missed her dog! We were blessed to be able to help her prayers be answered and get her dog back! All I can say, is that it was a miracle!

I love being out here, seeing God's hand at work, when you are looking for it, you can see so many incredible things happening around you, just like that song, "I saw God Today." Look for miracles people, they are out there! and if you are wanting to go even further, ask God to be apart of a miracle, you never know what will happen!

I'm loving New Mexico, it is amazing, and I'm loving serving as a missionary, yes there are hard days, but the good always outways the bad and I am learning so much ever single day.

I love you all and hope you are good! Adios Amigo's!!!
