Ole!!

This week has been exciting. Lots of fun citas and fun people. On Thursday we met with Manolo and monoli again and we may or may not have performed foot surgery on an 80 year old lady. Manoli was super excited for us to come and paint her toe nails and she was all smiles the whole night. We took off her previous polish (we only had to scrub for ten minutes)  and then she decided she should probably cut her nails. She proceeded to pull out the kitchen scissors and attempt to cut off her toes! OK not really but I sincerely though that she was gonna cut of at least one. So we took over and using proper clippers and sheer strength we got them all nice and trimmed. We also discovered stickers this week on our phones (like snapchat filters) and she sure got a kick out of that. After the pedicure, she was feeling all pretty and promised that she would come to church on Sunday, which she didn't do, but it's ok we'll get her there someday.

This week we also had a 3rd roommate move in. His name is lizard because he is a lizard :) he just shows up randomly and likes to give us a nice scare and then goes back to hiding under the couch or whatever it is that lizards do. As long as he keeps his peace and doesn't crawl all over me while I'm sleeping he can live with us as long as he wants.

This week was festivo in sanse (the party just follows me I'm telling ya) and apparently sanse has the most famous bull run besides the one in Pamplona and there were a toooon of people here (but nobody was from here and nobody wanted to listen to a spiritual message because they were here to party). (pictures below is our own imitation of the Spaniard bullrunner) And we now have a whole lot of trash in the streets and it smells great haha. It's also been raining a lot this week so it's been a little cooler and that's a blessing.

OK I don't have a ton of time but I hope you all know that God forgives. Every single time. If we truly want to change and we let him know that, he helps us do it. Recently in come follow me we studied 1 Corinthians 6 and I love the last verse of the chapter. It says:

"For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s."

Jesus christ paid that price. He loves us so much and he will help us return to him. I think I've said it before, but the greatest way that we can show our love and gratitude for our savior is by using His atonement and not letting that great and terrible sacrifice go to waste. Also if you haven't seen the video... Um I think it's called "because of him" in English, I would invite you to go watch it. We show that to our amigos a lot and I've seen it a million times. But every single time it hits me how much my savior loves me.

I love you all so so much!!

Pringles save us

This week we just did a nice little tour of the south, which was very nice because all the other cities aren't as hot as malaga plus all the other hermanas pisos have air conditioning haha. We went from malaga to fuengirola to ronda to Jaén to Granada and back to malaga. And when we finally stepped of the bus back in malaga, the heat hit and humidity hit us harder than ever and we had already started back on filling those lakes just on our short walk back to piso. I love Málaga. On all of our very long bus rides we got very hungry but you're not allowed to eat on the buses because of Mascarillas. And the only food item we ever had was Pringles because it's the only good thing they sell at bus stations, so we would just slide one under the mask and into our mouths every few minutes when nobody was looking so we didn't starve to death. We really know how to do things right. When we were in Jaen on intercambios, we visited this cute member family. And like I said, they wer...

On Tuesday, our favorite members, Ana y Fernando, wanted to take us to their favorite buffet in fuengirola, but when we got there, the original buffet no longer exists, but in its place was a sushi buffet haha. So we went. First time sushi eater here. But my dear sweet little companion helped me pick the things that weren't gonna kill me so I very much appreciated that. And then Ana just Had to buy us these little owl family souvenirs with their names as the parents and me and Hermana Larsen as the children hahaha (pictured below) they're so sweet.  We had a Cita this week with an amiga named Joy. She's an amiga of the malaga 2 hermanas, but they're both Latinas and Joy doesn't speak Spanish so we're helping them out. She's so sweet. They had planned to teach her about. she evangelio de Jesucristo, the pasos that we have to take in this life, and invite her to be baptized. We started talking about the first paso, faith, and I asked ...

Lakes to slightly smaller lakes

A nice little heat wave from Africa came in the last couple days. In the form of very very hot wind. But it did take down the humidity levels from our normal 85%. So instead of sweating lakes all day, we are sweating slightly smaller lakes. Feeling very blessed. Except for actually not having the humidity for a day felt very strange. I felt like I was about to shrivel up from dehydration. Vamos a ver what utah does to me haha. But it's been a really good week! We had two intercambios which means a week full of parties and lots of lessons and lots of learning. Always so much fun. We have a friend named Sebastián and we were finally able to meet with him in person to give him a book of Mormón. He was so excited to have one and right after the lesson he was gonna head to the beach to lay out and read the book of mormón. But we ended up giving him two books because he wanted to share one with his mom as well. Que máquina! We also met with our friend Fredy and he came to church yesterda...
