Road Work Ahead Sign

Hello peeps, 

This week seriously flew by!

Monday at pday I was challenged in Pokemon so I tried playing and I WON! I literally have no idea how I did because Elder Boyle was playing through me, but that victory carried me through the week. It's the little things.

Monday night we also met Tasha, who wanted to hear about the Book of Mormon, but turns out she is super pregnant so she can't talk as much. But, she is so cool! 

Tuesday we had a lesson with Jash, but it's frigid again, so we called a hotel and they said we could sit in their lobby as long as we pray for them! It was so nice! Jash is doing pretty good this week! He no longer wants to be a Muslim, so we are pretty proud, he also made it a month of being a member. It's been rough, but he's doing so much better! Small steps.

We also had 2 lessons with Kristy this week and they went pretty good! She came to church yesterday and told us she didn't drink all weekend, and has read to Mosiah!!! So awesome! She is so great! 

I went on exchanges to the Spanish area this week with Hrn. Vestal and it was a blast! We had a lot of fun and she tried to teach me a scripture in Spanish for a lesson we had. But to her avail, I am still terrible at Spanish. At one point during a member visit, I had been quiet the whole time (because, I speak no Spanish) and they asked if we wanted drinks or anything (and I understood that), but Vestal said "esta bien" and then I said very loudly and while singing "esta bien!" And it was very awkward and that's the extent of my Spanish. Then, in the car Vestal told me I was actually copying everything she was saying really quietly, sub consciously. Haha, it was a great experience. 

I went on another exchange with Sister Lamb and it was so fun! 

On Saturday was Halloween and we had a car wash with our zone and the whole time everyone kept asking "dont you go home in 2 weeks?" It was really fun, 

That night we had to be home by 6, and after we weekly planned I tried to make us all ghost costumes. No one else wanted to but here is a picture of me as a ghost. 

We are each other for Halloween.

On Sunday we had a lesson with another members girlfriend named Alana!! She was so cool and has done a ton of research on the church, and so we had a very long discussion and it was so good! She is so nice! 

Awkward Malena Moment:

We had gone to help this lady move with the 4 elders and when we got to her house, she texted us and told us she didn't want help anymore. Depressing. So, we were walking in the city, and I looked down to text someone to confirm our lesson, and as I was walking, with all 6 of us, I hit my head perfectly on the corner of a road work ahead sign! And I hit it really hard. And no one stopped me! It hurt a lot, I had a big bruise on my head. Really funny. Then later, Throck told jash about it in our lesson and they all laughed at me. 

I love this gospel so much! It brings me so much peace and answers! Although God wants us to turn to him and ask questions, he doesn't want us to be left in the dark. He has provided the answers! Just ask him! 

I love you all!
