It was a spooky week.
We went to the immigration office this week to finally get my Visa work done. We were late to our appointment at 10.30 in the morning, and were told that we would have to wait in a mega-long line that was outside the building to try to get in before they closed. Let me tell you it was a MIRACLE that we got in. We were the last people that they let in before they closed for the day. Thank goodness I'm not getting deported!
We met with a witch lady and let me tell you it was pretty freaky. A friend that we used to teach reached out to us last week and said that she had a "friend" that was interested to learn more about the book of mormon soo we set up a meeting with her. We met outside her apartment and I was like way freaked out. She kept trying to get us to go into her apartment basement and started saying really creepy stuff to us. Let's just say we didn't get to teach her about the book of mormon, and we got out of there real quick.
On another spooky note, we went to a graveyard and cleaned the graves of one of our members' ancestors. It was actually pretty fun and it was a good time to serve one of our members.
We teach an advanced english class every week which is pretty fun. Since the people we teach are already like fluent in english we usually just do some fun games and then share a spiritual thought at the end (I like it because it's an excuse for me to talk in English for 1 and a half hours) anyways, this past week we played 2 truths and a lie, and it kinda totally back fired when everyone started talking about how being a good liar was a good quality and how lying is actually good in some cases and we were like ummm no. Our spiritual thought ended up being about how we shouldn't lie.
Here is one of my favorite quotes from president Hinkley that I read this week:
"Don't be gloomy. Don't dwell on unkind things. Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy fully the sunlight. Even if you are not happy, put a smile on your face and accentuate the positive. Look a little deeper for the good. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life."
I have really started to look for the good in everything and am actually really starting to enjoy my time as a missionary. Look for the good in wherever and whatever you are doing in life right now!

Love you all so much!
