"When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny."

- Paulo Coelho

This week sure was a great week for change seeing as how my companion and I had to make the long journey to the mission office. Then I got tortured with something called "therapy." For anyone who reads this, I'm sorry for what I've said about therapy. I always thought people were being over-dramatic about how therapy hurts and makes one so tired. I had a great time with the doctor. During therapy, I get to have an ultrasound machine passed over my knee to help me heal of the muscles in my knees, and then we do some stretches and exercises. It is pretty rigorous but worth it because my knees are feeling better.

We had a great baptismal interview this week, and she is going to be baptized this coming Sunday! She is such a wonderful lady and was so prepared to receive the gospel and make changes in her life! She is a wonderful lady and is doing so much as she sees the hand of the Lord in her life! 

Other great things that happened this week:

1: I have the coolest district of missionaries ever! 

2: We have a dryer in our pension (something I haven’t seen since the day I left home in 2014).

3: Crazy anti-American who was drunk, high, and crazy go off and insult us (always a great classic).

4: Therapy.

I sure love the mission with lots of miracles everyday and lots of blessings that I see in my life and the lives of others.
