Sister Margaret Plothow: Birthday/Halloween Party

This week was super awesome!! we had a Halloween party in the ward, and the whole ward sang happy birthday to me and to Maria Luisa and we blew out candles, it was very fun. there were so much food, and yes I ate a lot. wahahaha. Everybody dressed up in costumes of people in the Book of Mormon.

We found a wonderful family this week and put baptismal dates for the end of November. They all came to church minus the dad because we was working. But it was so fun. We brought them cake for breakfast. (yes cake for breakfast) and then I carried the diaper bag and held the little 7 year old Rento in my hand as we took the micro to the stake center. It was so much fun. I am honestly so excited to have my own family!!:) They are super receptive and have a ton of faith. I love how God puts us in people´s paths, and all we have to do is teach them:) We watched the joseph smith movie. We call them ¨la familia de oro¨ because they really are a gift from God.

We found a mom and her three daughters who are also very receptive. The dad died 7 years ago and so we taught the plan of salvation. it went really well. I love that plan. I made a poster of the plan with all the different steps and symbold. its always cooler when you can see the whole picture with the symbols and all.

One of the days, a sister missionary had to live with us for a day and we took several trips to Viña with her because she needed medical help. But it turned out that she is going to be sent home to do the surgery. She was so sad. I would hate to leave my mission early and not finish the year and a half. But it was fun to have her live with us and to take extra trips to Viña.
