Week 66?- " Kapuniwaowaw!"

Im leaving Provo and sister Kapuniai is leaving me!! We seriously have had so much fun together, this transfer went way to dang fast! I will be going and getting Sister Zepeda! We are just swapping companions, jaja, sister de Benito is with her companion sister Gould. As wellllll, i will be in bilingual now. We thought we were crazy busy this last transfer, now it's gonna be crazy. 

Anywho for this weeeeeek;

Monday night was pretty great! We went to some apartments hoping to find referral, and we'll we got to talk to alot of people. Those that were super nice, golden, and others quite the opposite. One door we knocked the lady looked kinda frustrated (she's an american). She had a ton of boxes and things outside her door as if she was moving. So we started to ask if she needed help. She said no she had plenty of people to help. So then we tried to get to know her, asked if she was moving in or out, and she says "Honey is it any of your dang business?" We were like uhh no, we just like service and getting to know people, then she slams the door. And from inside we hear hear a loud, "the missionaries!" Then mocking us in a nice high pitch voice, "we looove service, can we help you?". Was quite interesting how enraged us trying to be nice was to her. Makes us wonder what kind of experience she's had with the church. We went bothered by it, just kinda in shock, jeesh dang lady. And not gonna lie was a little funny to hear her trying to mimic us from inside. 

But that same night we got two new investigators! Look like straight Mexican thugs. We go into the house and theirs two guys and 1 girl. John Carlos, JR and Chantel. John carlos is a member but went inactive in nearly teens. Chantel and JR are together and have a toddler and just moved in with John Carlos like a week ago until they get house. Anywho we asked how they knew each other because friends etc. Haha and he tells us "we were cellies". They served their 5 years of jail time together, and decided to make a change in their life! Haha now they are working and trying to me better, and we walk into their life! They are the coolest people! We asked each of them what their turning point was and each was so different but so amazing! I especially loved Chantels because she said once she had their little girl, she wants her to grow up with a good foundation and give her all she can. And she is excited ahout us being their and for the church to give her child that foundation! They are all so sincere and willing to learn! It's so awesome to see people make that change in their life and grasp what's really good. 

It's been so nice and sunny out! Except for today, haha! It started snowing this morning! it's okay, I'm getting tannn! We have been doing all our studies outside up on the mountain.

I seriously love this area, being in Provo is the best! We've gotten so close to so many missionaries here it's crazy. The assistants and us are tight, haha! We can pretty much ask them permission to do anything and they have not said no once!

I'm super sad to be leaving here though, especially because I love the people here. Our neighbors are the best. We live in a little apartment complex and we all speak Spanish. None of them are interested or members though. But it was so hilarious the other night. We drive home and right out front in front of our front door and their front door, next to the road is all the cute little kids with a giant tv outside playing video games!! Then we go inside change and are watching videos, and when we are done we look outside and they got a giant fire in the grill, the parents got tables set up and carne asada and hot dogs ready to grill, they got their big speaker set up for the fiesta, got their microphone out, some cerveza (beer, which we have thrown away before), it was just a good ole fiesta out there. We were literally laying in our beds watching from the cracks of our blinds, just dying as they blackened the hot dogs, sang some tunes, kids were running around in the trees, etc. Then finally around 11:30 as they began to eat their carne asada we decided to quit being creepy and get some rest. love em. 

I'm so glad for all the memories here and for the love that I have been able to feel for each person I have met.

Here's some memories:)

Con Amor,

Hermana de Benito
