Thuggin' with our spam-whiches

Hola family!! Week 2 of my last transfer is done! Can't believe how fast time is flying! It has been another good week though, we have been really blessed here!
Monday was p-day and it seemed that all the stores were playing my favorite songs... It was strange.  We also played some Volleyball at the church which means I embarrassed myself a lot but whatever.  We had dinner with P at a members house and that was great.  Their name is the Jone's and they are SO good at helping us out!! P recently got in a car accident so that has been tough. 
Tuesday we had a stellar lesson with Nyla.  We brought a young woman to the lesson and she said EXACTLY what N needed to hear.  It was great.  I JUST LOVE N!!! She is great.
Wednesday was awesome! We had interviews with President and It was exactly what I needed.  President Jacobsen is just great.  Then we got to go to M's (an 80 year old recent convert's) and his caretaker said she always felt good when we came by and that we were doing a good thing.  We want to pick her up as an investigator so bad but her work schedule is crazy.  Also we taught R!!  She is so great and just loved the Plan of Salvation! Then we had dinner with a young couple in the ward who is SO CUTE! They were so much fun, buuuttt unfortunately after dinner we had some struggles...
So we got back to our apartment and 9 and our key got jammed in the door... It was stuck in a locked position so we couldn't move it at all... so we called our apartment and it was an after hour maintenance emergency and we got a hold of maintenance and they said they'd call us back but.. they never did... so we called them again and they never called back...... so we called the STL's and we got to have an emergency sleep over with the Grand Rapids sisters... they got to our apartment around 11 so had been on our porch in the rain for nearly 2 hours!!! It was an adventure but hey sleep overs are good! Especially when you have no pj's or toothbrushes!
Thursday we taught T and she made us some SWEET slippers! I'll send pics! Then Sister J took us to lunch and she is just the coolest lady! Then we taught this guy M that works at an old folks home.  It was an interesting lesson, he is about 22 and had a lot of questions, questions that we could answer about God's plan!! He was also pretty baffled by our life style and the fact we don't drink... don't worry folks we'll get him!!
Friday was a good time! A member who loves missionaries fed us wet burritos! Also we went finding on the bus and this one guy's girlfriend texted us getting mad at us because her boyfriend was texting us because we gave him our number on the bus... haha drama.  Also we taught N again and she is SO COOL!!! I just love her.
Saturday we taugh B and she is just beginning to see how much God cares about her.  We went over the baptismal interview questions with her and helped her to see that she can make it.  We also taught R again which was awesome, no surprise there! Then we visited the African less active family we've been working with and it was one of my favorite lessons of my mission.  We got her three boys to read with us from The Book of Mormon and they went from being crazy to still and spiritual... it was so cool! And at the end one of the boys prayed and it was so amazing and C (the mom)  Cried and as she was driving us home she said she had never heard him pray.  It was so cool.
Sunday R and P both came to church! The ward loves R and they are all excited to come to lessons with us to see her!! Other than that it was pretty uneventful but sacrament meeting was super spiritual! Oh, and we experimented more with spam again....
Well, that is about all... crazy week! Sister B reminded me yesterday morning that I still have a month... you can do a lot of good in a month right? 
Love you all! Love this Gospel! Love this work! Love my savior!
Fun fact: In the middle east it is hard to find salt shakers
