A miracle happened!

the weeks are going by SO DANG FAST! i just want to cry thinking about it. hermana clark got her moroni letter this week. its like the letter with all her flight plans and stuff. super super crazy because i was with her when she completed 9 months....and next week i´m going to have 9 months in the mission! ALMOST HALF WAY!? like what in the world right?!
i´m so glad you guys got to texas safe and sound. sorry that the house was so dirty...that stinks! but at least now you know your in a clean house! i loved the little video you sent me! the house looks cute!  sorry that it was tough to leave tucson. sounds like it was time to leave! i´m really excited for you guys! i think the change will be so great! that´s so funny that the little girls just sweat from the humidity!! haha i bet cosys hair is crazy curly. it´s really humid here too...but cold humid. like china. so my hair is always super curly...i can´t straighten it. i hope syd has fun at EFY this week! i would LOVE to be a counselor for EFY one day.

so this week we visited a less active member...the SWEETEST lady EVER! i seriously love her like my grandma. we invited her to church and she was like "i want to go but my husband wont let me...you can even ask him." so we did and he told us no. it was a little bit scary. anyways, it´s SUPER sad because she wants to come back to church. some prayers for hermana doris would be great. :) 

ANOTHER one of our investigators told us he doesn´t want to listen anymore. it was sad...but we´ve tried to keep good attitudes. and we are working hard to try and find the people here in valdivia that are ready to except the gospel. and honestly, we find really great people every single day. last week we did a contact in the street and this lady told us to visit her and gave us her direction. but when we wanted to visit her, we couldn´t find her house...so we were super bumbed. but a miracle happened! a few days later we were walking and she ran up to us and was like "why haven´t you come to my house yet!!?!" and we explained we couldn´t find her house...so she was like "well come right now!!" haha so we went, and ended up teaching her family. the lesson was SUPER awesome. her oldest son is SUPER great and wants to be baptized so we are working  a lot with him. its a family really prepared by the lord. i think the lord is trying to teach me to have pacience in HIS will, and to have faith to keep going even when its hard. haha theres a quote that we have on the wall in our house that says "life´s a ride. you´ve gotta buy a ticket, hang on tight and keep going around til they kick ya off." and the other day hermana clark was like "and then you buy ANOTHER ticket". hahahaha SO TRUE RIGHT? that´s how it is. it´s hard sometimes but we keep going. the other day a man in the street looked at my name tag, looked at me, and then called us garbage. so that was fun!

anyways, for my birthday? idk anything! i don´t really need anything! but there are these leather scripture cases that i want SO BAD. my scriptures don´t have cases right now...and this man has leather cases and he like draws images on them...you know? idk how to explain it. but they are expensive...so if you could just put money in my account i can get those! yeah?!

well i hope you have a great week! i love you all SO MUCH! i´m always praying for you! the church is true!
love, hermana steele

ps. when you guys come get me, can we go to peru? haha...

pss. guess what?! i´m playing the piano in sacrament meeting! fun stuff!
