It was a good week. Yes it's festivo yet again. Story of Spain. Every other week is a holiday. This festivo is called Carnavales. I don't really know what it is but everyone has been wearing costumes around town so that has made contacting real easy. We talked to chickens, pineapples, witches, moms, cats, everything you can think of! So on Friday we are walking down the street and we see a bunch of kids chanting numbers and there is this life-size human doll hanging from a basketball hoop by a noose... burning. Hahaha. So casual. Every time a chunk of ashes would fall the kids would restart counting. So yeah.. That's the holiday. I can't explain anything else... Kinda weird... but it's cool.
We had a ward activity and we dressed up. It was pretty fun and we actually had some menos activos and investigators come to the party. I'll attach some pictures.
We had intercambios this week and I went to Vigo with Hermana Rodriguez. She is from Barcelona and just a stud. It was fantastic, I learned so much from her and it was fun having her help me with my Spanish as well. Also Vigo is the most beautiful place on earth. I'm not kidding. Wow. We took this bus through the countryside and the mountains to a lesson and I was getting a little teary eyed it was soooooooooooooo beautiful, soooooo bus sick, but soooooo worth it. For morning exercises we hiked up to a castle overlooking the city and the ocean. Once again. Casual. It was fantastic.
Our investigators are doing okay. Not much has changed this week. We met a few new cool people but not many people followed through with their appointments. So that's rough. But you know. We just keep working. As I was thinking about the missionaries in the book of Mormon some of them saw the fruits of their labors like ammon and the sons of MosÃah. But there were a lot of missionaries that worked hard, did what they could, kept a good attitude, and never saw the ends of their work, like Samuel the Lamanite, abinadi. Not saying we don't see things happening, no, we see miracles for sure, but I guess you have to do a lot of sowing before you reap! Woop woop! I love sowing! Life is good. Hope you all have a great week!
Hermana Simmons
Hahaha the selfie inception foto.... That is Paula. She is the greatest human I've ever met. She is a little anti establishment but just so good hearted and we are going to be pen pals for life.. But literal pen pals because she hates technology 
I love her.
