Clothing Rack and Pizza (Mission Update)

This post is out of order because the first one disappeared off this blog! But thank you for following along with Marissa's mission. It means so much to us!

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. 


Well this week has been exciting! In my last email I talked about Halloween but the day after that is Dia de los Vivos (Day of the living) and the next day is Dia do los Muertos (day of the dead).  There was a lot of parties and people drinking those days and almost no one was home. There was also a concert right outside, by the cemetery that we live really close by. There was music all night long. 


We were contacting the other day and decided to knock on a door. We waited and knocked again and then someone came to the door. We started talking to this lady who was really stressed out over these papers she was preparing for her kids that she taught and we told her we could help her so she invited us in. We helped her, talked with her then after taught her a little about the Restoration. When we got to the part of the Great Apostasy, we invited her to read the scripture in Amos about there being a famine in the land. She was so worried and asked when it was going to happen and we explained that it had passed. We then told about Joseph Smith and ended it there because she had something to do but she asked us to return. She has family that are members. It was a really good experience and I felt the spirit with us as we testified of Joseph Smith and Jesus Christ. 


Saturday night the funniest thing happened. My companion went to her clothing rack and removed a clothes hanger and suddenly it broke and fell. It was so funny! And now her clothes are on a blanket on the floor. We're waiting for a new one. My companion is the best! Here she is standing with her hanger in shock. 




Today we played sports and then went to eat pizza with some other missionaries. Here we are altogether with our food:


It was really fun. I love my mission and I love meeting other missionaries and growing close to them. Hoping everyone has a wonderful week! 


Love you all!
