I made a full blown homemade Guatemalan meal for my companion and me!

This week was pretty good. We had a great week teaching our recent converts/ less active members so that was great! By the time Monday rolls around I can never remember what I did during the week! Haha! :) We went to the soup kitchen this week and it was great! So many people were asking us questions about who we are and what we do as missionaries; it was so great! On Sunday the Mahafees, a senior couple who severed here in Cornwall, came up for a visit and it was great! We got some people out to church to see them! We have been looking for people to teach and we had some really great things happen. We had lunch with Sister Mcdonell after district meeting and we asked her if she knew anyone we could teach. She was like, "Not off the top of my head". Later in the week at church, though, she told us she thought of someone and that she was going to invite her to the ward picnic! Tthat was a huge miracle!

I thought this chocolate's wrapper was pretty funny!

We went knocking on this street that the Hynes helped us find and we found this guy, Kyle, and he remembered some missionaries from like 5 years ago! Hopefully something good comes out of that! Yesterday was the first time someone ever yelled at us while knocking! Haha, boy, that was an experience. A good lesson in having charity and loving those that despise you. This week I really learned the importance of dating/marrying someone who is a member. While there are great people out there who aren't members, dating/marrying someone who doesn't have the same beliefs as you is just something that hardly works out well and a lot of the time they end up taking you away from the church. This week I really felt that it is in the small and simple things that great things come to pass. Missionary work is just so amazing, it can be hard but it is so worth it.
