Hey Family!!!

It was a pain to get my meds but I finally got them! The pain from the AS was pretty bad. Ha-ha note to self, never ever taking Ultram again! I will have to tell you that story in a second. Physical Therapy was good. It kind of helped but it’s different because it’s not like I have a sports injury that I know will get fixed or heal. We will see. I will have another appointment on the 16th and then maybe one right after that and that's it.

Eating Papusas!

 This week was crazy amazing! Last Monday we were knocking doors and we found Rachel!! She is the most amazing 64 year old ever! She let us pray with her and was crying after the prayer. She said that she had just put on her bucket list that she wanted to find a good church and then we knocked on her door! Super amazing! She said that she wants to join our church! She says that she has seen our church lots of times and always wanted to go in but never knew if she could. We invited her to be baptized and she said yes! The next day we went and taught her about the Restoration and gave her a Book of Mormon. She said she loved it and said it makes sense and has to be true. We gave her Moroni chapter 10 to read. The next day we brought a member with us and taught her about the Plan of Salvation. She and the member love each other and the member was a huge help!! She had so many good questions and loved it! We asked her if she read Moroni and she said yes. She loved it so much she read it twice. Me and Sister King were freaking out because she is like the golden gator!! After we taught the Plan of Salvation we taught her about temples. She said she wanted to go there so we scheduled a temple tour for Friday! We just love Rachel so much and she calls us her two angels. She is like our Cuban grandmother. I know for sure we were best friends in the pre-existence.

​we find the the most random things while knocking....

This is what a typical house in Florida looks like. We call it the mint gum house.

On Thursday my back had been hurting. Friday morning we went running, so I thought I would take the Ultram (pain killer) so I can concentrate on Rachel and the temple and not have to worry about my back at all. So I took it with food and at the end of comp study my legs started feeling really weird and I started feeling really sick to my stomach like almost sea sick. I wanted to puke! So I looked at the side effects for Ultram and what do ya know I had them! I was frustrated this would right before we had to go to the temple with Rachel. It was amazing! Her member friend was there and Rachel said it was like heaven. She wanted to stay all day! It was a great spiritual experience. The whole time though I was trying not to puke on the temple grounds! But as we were leaving, Rachel said she was taking us out to lunch. I looked at Sister King with big eyes. There was no way in heck I could eat anything! But we couldn't say no so we went to Ruby Tuesday’s. I sat down for 10 min when I pushed Sister King out of the way and ran to the bathroom (pretty good pic in your mind right?) Anyways, I get to the bathroom and throw up. Yay!! I feel okay so I go and sit back down and eat a salad. Thought I was good right? Well the car ride to Rachel’s house to get our car was the longest ride of my life. I got sooo car sick but we finally make it back to the car say goodbye to Rachel. As we were driving to go knock doors I told Sister King to pull over at the church. We park in the church parking lot and I puke again in the bushes. It was funny cause I am sitting there hurling and a Latin worker comes out and says in his Mexican accent looking so confused, "Sister are you okay?" and Sister King laughs and says yeah she fine. So Sister King takes me home and I sleep for an hour. Finally around 7 it was out of my system and I was fine. Yay!! The other med the Mobic is good. I wish it was a little stronger but it is good :) So that was a fun day!

​This is me when I was puking. (Me in the bushes) Felt so much better

This week we also visited a really awesome part member family the Espinosa family. The mom is a member but her son and husband aren't. They are super cool and we hit it off the moment we met them! They have a 16 year old son who loves doing magic tricks so he did some for us and it blew us away!!! He even has his own business. I told him about Eben and how Eben would love him. He said that Eben sounded cool and that he can email him if he want any advice or help! He said he would love to talk to him! His email is magicdan1131@gmail.com. Such a cool family. They fed us and we shared a great message with them! It was great. We are going to baptize her son and husband just wait!

We love Sunday!

We also met this less active on Sunday who brought his two daughters Olive and Julia who are 14 and 12. They are super awesome. We invited them to an FHE at a member’s house and it went so good! The members are the Riggens, the ones from Seattle. I love them to death. They were super awesome and gave a great lesson about the restoration! After Brother Riggen had us do a musical number and we sang A Child’s Prayer. After they said it sounded so beautiful. We said that was for sure the Spirit because we don't sing hahah. It was fun and the girls are excited to learn more and want to be baptized. It was a great fun crazy week!! So excited for Rachel and all that is to come!! :)) Heavenly Father is blessing us like crazy!! Patience is real and everything has its time and season!!

 Thanks so much for the new shoes!! It’s like running on a cloud!! :)

 Love you all have a great week!!!
