This week we learned that both of us think we have the power to teleport and be everywhere all of the time. Sadly we don't, and ended up literally running all over C贸rdoba trying not to make all of our plans work out, but God really heard our prayers and somehow we made it work!
Tuesday we surprised the hermanas in Huerta Grande with intercambios! We texted them at 8 telling them they had to be at the bus stop at 9. I stayed in Huerta with Hna Pamplona and we had a party!
Wednesday night we went to C贸rdoba and stayed with the hermanas in Chacabuco, the plan was to just stay the night in C贸rdoba and then meet up with the Hermanas in Unquillo and split up in the morning. But it was a holiday (one of the never ending random holidays here) so there weren't buses in the morning. So instead we just stayed and did a blitz with the hnas in Chacabuco in the morning, then made a quick stop to pick my package (thanks mom) and see the Woods!
Then we ran to the bus stop, made it there with time to spare, sat down and waited for the bus to come. After waiting for a hot second we decided to check the schedule. Since we're just such obedient missionaries we both look down at the phone, and look up to see our bus drive past us without stopping
We started running after it, but we stood no chance. After walking tiredly back to the bus stop, we sat down next to the man who just watched us run 3 blocks like idiots and wait 45 minutes for the next bus to come.
Anyways, we finally made it to Unquillo and I went with Hna Mascarenhas! Got to remember all of the craziness from our transfer together in San Fran and have a video call with our friend Sebasti谩n!
Then we took a bus back to C贸rdoba, stayed with the hnas in Chacabuco again and finally made it back to our area Friday morning!
With all of the running, by Friday we were both exhausted. A lot of our friends didn’t answer us, and the majority of those who did, only responded to tell us they aren't interested. On Sunday none of our friends showed up to church which sucked, but after sacrament meeting one of the members stopped us and told us how we are working hard and that we have the trust of the members. Only God knows how bad I needed to hear that.
As I reflected on the week, I couldn't help but immediately think of the things I did wrong, or could have done better. The member helped me realize that I gave everything I could this week. And that it was good. Was it perfect? Nope, and it never will be. But I was able to witness countless miracles, put a baptismal date, help other missionaries who needed it, and strengthen my own testimony in Christ and His Atonement. I don't know about you, but I'd say that's a pretty good week 
“The happiest people I know are not those who find their golden ticket; they are those who, while in pursuit of worthy goals, discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of the everyday moments. They are the ones who, thread by daily thread, weave a tapestry of gratitude and wonder throughout their lives. These are they who are truly happy”

There are so many things I still need to learn, things that I need to change. But that doesn't mean that I can't be happy now. We are here to be happy, not just in the big moments, but in all of the small moments that lead up to it!!
