Hola Todos!

Hola todos!!!

well it is july and HOT! I really dont know how anyone could spend their life in this heat. I feel like im going to catch fire most of the time...i just keep telling myself 1-i asked for the heat 2-only a few more months of the heat and i have to go back to the snow. This week has been kinda long and kinda weird....yesterday started week 6 of the transfer which means saturday we will know transfer news. CRAZY!!! let me tell you about sunday...we were soooo excited because we got someone to church on sunday. Her name is aida. I dont know if ive talked about her yet but...she believes she has the gift of tongues. She has this whole story how an old man appeared to her and she received this gift from God. When she tells the story she speaks in this tongue for a portion of it...it freaked me out the first time i heard it. Well all went well in sunday school she participated and loved the class then we went to relief society...duh duh duh...sister navarro our RS president invited the sisters to share a story when they knew God existed. Guess who was the first to volunteer....AIDA. I was just praying she wouldnt but she did....she told the whole story speaking in tongues and all. You should've seen the faces of these women...their faces were priceless. The funny thing is aida had a really hard speaking in tongues this time and im pretty sure its because we were praying she wouldnt do it. The spirit was fighting with her. As if that wasnt enough in the middle of sacrament meeting her phone rang and yes she answered it!!! it was crazy....im just thankful she didnt get up for fast and testimony meeting and tell the whole branch. It was insane!!! so now we have to figure out how to help her realize this gift is not from God. 4th of july went fine for me. We taught quite a bit on the 4th which we werent expecting...i guess mexicans dont really celebrate. It was weird because usually you see lots of fireworks but i didnt see one!!! fireworks are illegal here and usually the city does some but they didnt have a budget for the fireworks this year so i saw 0 fireworks this year...sad! Well as a missionary holidays dont feel like holidays because we do the same thing everyday. Im enjoying it and only counting down the days until it cools down a bit...unfortunately the heat is here to stay for awhile.
I hope all is well for everyone and that you all had a great 4th.
Remember i love you!!!
