Hey you beautiful creatures.

It's been a fantastic week here in the land of the very wealthy and very Catholic! One of our investigators, who is incredibly pilas, finally came to church this Sunday and it was the best thing ever. She just looked so at home; I don't know quite how to explain it. It was really lovely and I think my favorite Sunday ever in the history of Mission Sundays. And it was kind of a huge miracle because the day before she was literally vomiting all day; her gran gave her some herb tea and de repente she was fine. #hemovesinmysteriousways (Coldplay, is that you?)

I'm approximately six inches taller than all the bathrooms here. There are not words for the awkwardness when your head is always sticking out from the stall.

One of the sisters in our area ran into this guy the other day whose only commentary about the church was this: "Your religion plays a lot of board games, don't you?" She was telling us later and was like, "I just wanted to be like, 'Where'd you pull that piece of doctrine from, 5th Nephi?'". #doctrinafalsa

We have a water heater in our house here, but these last couple of weeks it's been out on strike. Consequently, showering had become a little bit like doing the Hokey Pokey. You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out, you put your right foot in and you shake it all about. 

And to end before the pictures, I love this quote from Preach My Gospel paraphrased because I don't have it on hand in English: "When the Spirit comes to the heart, the heart changes." 

That is what we do: we invite people to change and become more like Christ. #duhwinning

1. ALL MY NERDY DREAMS COME TRUE. I finally got to make a timeline of the Restoration. It just makes so much SENSE. #ITSKINDOFABIGDEAL

3. We climbed to the Cross! And it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

4. I'm now in a trio - Hermana Navarro, Hermana Brower, and Elder Murray. #dontworryaboutit #murraychristmas

Today, we all follow the wise advice of Hermana Kjersten Johnson in 'Bama: "Lengthen your stride, but don't split your crotch."

Love you cool cats more than I love the things in picture number 11! (Almost.)
