Hello
all!
This past week was
pretty eventful.
Not yesterday, but the Monday before
that I became a legend among missionaries. Here's what happened. We went to a
meal appointment that night with a lovely member. Some of the elders came too
and we all pressured each other to eat a ton because you have to eat a lot when
Mexicans feed you. Then right after that we went to CiCi's pizza because
there's an awesome member that takes our whole zone out to eat once a transfer.
As we went into Cici's (already stuffed full), I somehow got challenged to a
pizza-eating contest with one of the elders that had been at the first dinner
appointment. So naturally I took him up on the challenge and next thing I knew,
bets were being placed and I was stuffing pizza into my very-full abdomen. It
got really intense really fast. Everyone (including the member) was betting on
ME. NO PRESSURE. but don't worry. My competitive side kicked in and with some
coaching from the other elder's comp, I WONNNN!! And yes. I did eat 20 pieces
of pizza to do it. And no, I did not sleep well that night.
BUT I'M A CHAMPION!
WOO! It was a great moment.
This week we had an
insane 2-zone, 3-day long exchange. I worked with a sister serving in North
Laredo, Hermana Crawford. We had tons of fun. One of the coolest things that
happened involved the package my lovely parents sent. The package had to be
signed for, and I was worried because we're never home when the mail comes. So
naturally I prayed and asked God to help me get my package. The next day (Wednesday)
we were out riding our bikes. We were unlocking them from a sign when the UPS
man drove up and said "is one of you sister lance?" Then he pulled
over, I signed one of those things, and BAM. I had my package. Right there in
the middle of my area which is a couple miles away from our apartment. It was
pretty stellar. :D Ask and ye shall ye
receive, everyone. Because God literally delivers.
(Thanks for the
package and miracle Mom and Dad!)
We had a great
Valentines day as well. a member took us to wing-stop so we feasted on wings to
celebrate. #purelove
Bummer from this past
week was that Jair didn't go to Churchhhh. BOOOO. Aka now we have to drop him
and he can't get baptized this month. Superrr bummer.. but it's all good. God's
got a plan for him. Jair has amazing desires but really just needs to wake up
and go to church so he can actually act and all that.
The work is still
moving along great here in Laredo. I hope everyone at home is doing great! I
love you all lots and lots!
Love,
Hermana Lance
