Tear drops on my guitar

Wow guys I'm going to be real with you right now. I've never cried so much in one week. Tear drops on my guitar is the only reasonable Taylor Swift song to decribe this week. My companion says that a better name would be "waterfall on my guitar." Yes part of it was because of sadness but a ton of it was because of happiness. I have welcomed change with open arms this week. I don't want you all to think I'm a cry baby. I promise a majority was just the realization of how much I have changed for the better. How much my testimony has grown. How much I have learned in these past 4 months and the past 12 weeks with my trainer. I am incredibly happy to be here. 

The best part about this week was our baptism!! ALEX WAS BAPTIZED!!!!! WOOOOO!!! It was incredible. absolutely great. We did a practice baptismal interview with him on Thursday and wow. The change he has made is fantastic. I remember in the beginning he felt that January 16th was too fast but let me tell you, if a person who has never known the gospel can change everything to follow christ in 4 weeks, can we not do the same? The answer is that we can. Change is something we need to accept. Change to be better followers of Christ. Only through the Atonement of Christ can we truly change for the better. 

I have learned a ton. Absolutely a ton. Maybe that's why president called me and told me "Hermana Cross, you're going to be a TRAINER" Yep you read that right. I am officially a trainer! I'm a tad nervous because I set the tone for her whole mission. At the moment I have my hija Hna Meza and my mamá Hna Ojeda. The whole fam! She's from Honduras and is 19 too. Haven't learned too much about her. She does indeed speak 100% Spanish so that's fun haha. I am now an English specialist too. That just is a fancy title for "give the Spanish speakers a verbal quiz every week" Super cool though that everyone has a chance to learn a language in the mission. Sunday holy smokes. 

I have never eaten so much dessert. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack from the sugar overload. I tried fried banana and it was divine. woooo doggie it was good. My poor poor body. We ate at every lesson because we visited members so Hna Ojeda could say goodbye. Yay for goodbyes! Yeah it's been a  tad rough. I just love her so much. She has been a great example to me. S/O to her even though she doesn't read this hahaha  Today we just cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. Picked up my hija and shopped and here we are! Wow the weeks man are crazy fast when you are enjoying every moment. OH also when we were contacting we saw a car reversing and then all of a sudden BAM! the car did a hit and run. totally on purpose. Totally cray. Yeah that was something random of my week haha. THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING!!! Love you all.
