This week was great! Absolutely exhausting and fantastic.
So Elder Matamoros and I have set some really good goals for our companionship this week! During weekly planning (that we do every Friday) we set some good goals and we are working hard to achieve them. One of them requires a lot more effort towards the work and we’re both super exhausted, but happy 
Also, for all last week our goals were (our weekly goals -key indicators. If someone doesn’t understand, ask your husband or a friend):
1 baptism (can’t set a goal of 0. That’s dumb)
1 person at church (because we hadn’t had any investigator at church for like 5 months)
3 new investigators
1 person with a baptismal date
Well... we didn’t get that 1 baptism (like I said, can’t put a goal of 1. We didn’t have any investigator THAT close to baptism as to be baptized in a week). But! We did have an investigator at church, which was a miracle! We found 4 new investigators and that same person that came to church now has a baptismal date!!! With my experience, it’s eeaassyy to find new investigators. But the other three goals are challenging. So it felt good to achieve some goals this week. Also, the cool thing about it is on Sunday we were doing a mission wide fast. We were fasting for Heavenly Father to pour out his spirit on the people of Mesa so that their hearts and minds would be prepared to receive the gospel. And miracles have been brought from it so far! We are now progressing with people and it’s just awesome. It’s been a little plain in this area for a while. And now the investigator with a baptismal date, her husband now wants to listen to the lessons!!!
And so on Sunday Elder Matamoros and I were fasting, we got up an hour earlier than usual because we had a meeting with the stake presidency, we were like non stop running around and so we were dead tired. And then yesterday wasn’t our p day (today is... duh) and we were still working super hard and it’s just been a few days or a week of go go go because of the MIRALCES we’ve been having! It’s accomplishing! But maaaaaan we’re tired.
Fasting works people. Fasting works.
And during all of this stuff, tiredness, a little lot of stress, we were laughing and smiling!! Usually when I’m tired and stressed I’m not happy. But how could I not be happy when I’m doing the work of the lord and she’s giving us so many blessings?
But on a more funnier note Elder Matamoros fell again. He was riding behind me and a car honked at us and so he turned around to say hi and when he did that I had slowed down because there was another trash can on the sidewalk, and when he turned back around he saw that I was slowing down, so to not hit me he slammed on his brakes and he went flying and smacked into this little brick fence wall thing. Super funny! He’s a tough guy. He didn’t get hurt.
Everything is lovely here in Arizona!! Les quiero a todos
