siswag: OFF THE CHAINNNNN (hna. Rapalos most often said phrase)

WHATS UP WAGGERS??

I cannot believe how fast time is going! Holy cow someone please stop it!! This week i got really really sick. I couldn't get off the floor and when i did it was running to the bathroom to throw up! My comps were searching high and low for medicine but we didn't have nothin! I mean we live in the Brazilian bungaloos we can't consume drugs. So they call the elders next door and tell them hermana wagstaff is sick can you bring over some medicine if you have any?? I wake up off the floor to two elders standing on our porch looking like hagred. Hated to scare them like that... but They literally bought out all of the local Walgreens and CVS I'M ALMOST POSITIVE! There were so many strange drugs they gave me. They also brought soup, crackers, and bluebell i was like EVERYTHINGS FINE NOT DYING JUST A SMALL STOMACH BUG GET BACK TO WORK! Everything was fine until i walked to the car was laying in the back seat and just so happy about my saltine crackers i held it up to the heavens and goodness gracious that strong texas AC blasted all the salt into my little eyeballs. felt like i just did a swan dive into the ocean. couldn't see for hours! Hna. Mayne was like, "i never thought i would see my trainer blinded by a saltine cracker!" scary moment for everyone!

This week was incredible! I think my favorite sunday in the ward. it's 11 oclock bishop stands up you'd think world war 2 just ended with how many people were there. BISHOPS MOM AND WIFE, and cutest papito Antonio on my side! Antonio is the greatest grandpa i've ever had! we had a heart to heart yesterday because he has changed so much! I just want him to be baptized and recieve a remission of his sins so badly! He's so close and he will pay tithing so soon! He use to be the scarest 75 year old i knew. He would yell at me and make me feel terrible but I've now realized thats just how cubans are. But through this gospel he has turned into the sweetest old man and he knows it! He has a heart of gold! All the old ladies in the ward have their eyes on him. HE'S A HEART STOPPER ALRIGHT! ahh how would you guys feel about movin the family to cuba?? I'm serious he is my little gramps and i finally told him that i would be leaving tomorrow and it was the saddest thing of my life! im going to miss him soo much! But it's 11:20 everyones comin in and i look to the side of me and all 8 of our investigators were on my row singing the sacrament hymn! What a beaut! ohhh how the smallest things just fill my heart with joy!

We had a family night after church in the familia Martinez house with our investigators and we watched Meet the Mormons. That movie is sooo powerful! I forgot how wonderful it is. Our investigator Yedwin (found him through the english class we teach. he's been coming to church for 2 months and brings ALL the other investigators to church! such a cool guy) was crying by the end and said he had never felt something that powerful before. He said i now know why God told me to come here and leave Honduras behind. There was a life so much better that he had planned for me. I've never been so happy except for in this church. He accepted to be baptized this saturday! His only problem was coffee so i called him this morning before he went to work to make sure he wouldn't drink it. I call and he's just whistling and yelled "WHATS COFFEE?? WHO NEEDS COFFEE??"

THIS GOSPEL IS PERFECT! I AM COMPLETELY CHANGED BECAUSE OF IT! I LOVE LOVE LOVE WATCHING ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS MY SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST DOES FOR THESE PEOPLE!

I should be leaving tonight to go to the other companionships... im just sooo soooo sad to leave my home H9 THIS IS MY HOME IVE BEEN HERE HALF MY MISSION. Hna. Ruiz is like how do you know everyone that walks by us i'm like when you can't leave an area for nine months you get to know EVERYONE! "hola luis!" "hey terressa how's your mom? is she still selling mangos on the corner??" "Hey Matthew let us know if you still need help moving!" SO MANY FRIENDS!!! I LVOE THIS AREA! even Jannet who lives on the curb of walgreens and is always on drugs. she lets me pray for her! bffs if i do say so myself! i've been stalling and i might text president and tell him that i can just stay in the area till i leave but we will see what he says! I had an interview with him on friday and i just love my president so much! i know i could have been called to any mission in the world but i was called to Texas Houston South Mission because I needed President Hall! He has helped me change and become the girl and missionary i've always dreamed of being!

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING MY VERY FAVORITE FAMILY AND MY VERY FAVORITE PLACE TO BE. Even though i say all these people and places are my favorite you know there is always no place like home in the middle of my mom and dads bed!

see you soon!
