its p-day again...crazy!!!‏

well its been a crazy week to say the least. i dont know if you've ever been really just physically worn out but man i was out. by the end of the say every day this week i was wiped out and i would fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. i think everyone was on spring break because we had a hard time finding people in their homes. but we had some really interesting tti's(street contacts). for the first time in my mission i got condemned to hell...that was interesting. another lady told me they celebrate easter by sitting around and drinking beers. last night we went to go contact a referal and they were home because we could hear them talking and the tv on...well once we rang the doorbell they thought they could be sneaky and turn off the tv. that wasnt a smart idea. so we just left them a note and told them to call us when they want to hear our message. oh this may be the most ridiculous thing that's happened to me on my mission. we've been teaching a few men who live with a less-active and the other day when i called him he told me that the neighbors didnt want us to come over because we sing and it disturbs them. when we were over last night he told us that management told them they would be kicked out if we came over and sang. i dont care...they can't tell us we cant sing and so im going to keep singing...bring on the police. haha. can you imagine what that would be like sister missionaries getting handcuffed. its really funny because we havent been having a lot of luck in our work but we've been finding people for the other missionaries. the other day we had an appointment cancel and so we were on our way to visit someone else. well as we were driving by we saw a lady going into her house and so we decided to stop and talk to her. well it turns out she had a stroke about 3 months ago and has been wanting to go to a church. they have lots of friends that are LDS and so they are familiar with the church. we got to sing them a song and say a prayer with them and they accepted to have missionaries come over and share more. really neat experience!!! its experiences like that which help me realize this is the Lords work. He guides us where we need to go and to the people he needs us to visit. its incredible. ive been praying to see the Lord's hand in my life daily and so far it has happened He is in everything we do. i know there has been some more funny stories but i can't think of them right now. i am doing well though. the people are so great here and i love teaching in spanish. we are getting really close to the easter pagent and i cant wait!!! we've been watching the rehearsals for the last week and its so neat!!! the real thing i know is just going to be incredible.
i hope that all is well and i cant wait to hear from you soon.

i love you all.
