I personally believe that Bon Jovi wrote that song just for missionaries. Yup, Hump Day tomorrow. Freaky huh? I thought this day would never come, but its here. I´ve been walking around the house doing that Progressive commercial (made 9 months ago) where the camel just walks around "HUMPP DAYYY!" Mostly to annoy my cute companion. Rumor has it you have to burn a skirt on your half way mark, but I dont know if I´m going to complete that ritual.
This week was really good! Yes I DID get to complete my goal of Columbian Cumpleaños 2.0, and she loved it. It was so cool because we ALL started on it and got in a huge flour fight.

On Thursday we had a Young Single Adult Activity and it was SO much fun! We did the egg drop activity (where you build a case around the egg and drop it off a tall building). We were worried they would think it was lame, but everyone participated and we had such a blast! It was weird hanging out with a big group of kids my age. Overall though it was alot of fun, and helped unify the JAS (YSA). We really want to help the JAS here because we know they are the future leaders of this ward. So we got to make them super fuerte (strong)!
Today was pretty fun because a member in our ward paid to have my companion and I get pedicures! WAT!? I felt bad for the cute columbian girl that had to clean my stanky feet. But I was so grateful that she did! It was so nice, the members here just take such good care of us! I LOVE THEM!
One cool thing that will happen this week is we are going to a FLAMANCO SHOW! Every missionary gets to have one "cultural activity" i.e. Go to a football game, see a bullfight, etc. My companion and I both havent use our "activity card" and we found out that here in Las Americas there is a pretty famous flamanco show in Hard Rock Cafe! So my companion and I got permission to head out Wednesday night and see it. I AM SO PUMPED!
This week has been really helpful for me. I feel like I´ve received a lot of personal revelation to help me when I get home. I´ve just really learned the importance of making TIME for things. Life isnt always going to be like how it is on the mission. I wont have personal scripture study all nice and pretty laid out for me, I really need to work to keep that when I get home.
One awesome milagro (miracle) that I was able to witness was Segrario this 72 year old less active took the sacrament for the first time in years yesterday! She isnt able to come to church due to her husbands health. But the elders came over to her house and brought it to her! It was so awesome to see how excited she was to take it again! She always says that the church used to be her life, and she misses it alot. I´m so grateful that we are able to make it a part of her life again.
The gospel is so true! I love it, the gospel really gives us everything we have. I am so grateful to my Savior who knows us, and listens to our heartfelt prayers.
Con Amor,
Hermana Shurtz
