No electricity

hey fam bam

ah thanks for the pictures of Ashlynn! they are so cute :) she is precious times ten.

Sounds like it was fun having so many people there! That's great that they could all come. She is such a little miracle baby :) they have lots of cute baby shoes here and I always want to buy them and send them to ashlyn.

So this week, we had no power in our piso for two days. It was crazy. It was out from wednesday until friday. The office elder in malaga forgot to pay our bill....stinkin elder moss. haha. We did still have water though...good thing. But we had to carry all of our food that we could save and put it in the refrigerator at the church and then eat lunch there in the afternoon. And we just bought tons of candles and put them everywhere in the piso so we could see at night and in the bathroom. It made for quite the romantic setting...haha. Too bad we aren't interested in having a romantic setting...also we would come home every night and sing 'Jesus es mi luz' while we were getting ready for bed. We were searching for the things that we were supposed to learn from having no power for two days (it makes life a little more complicated..and we had to spend most of our time those two days running errands to get the bill paid and NOT doing missionary work) but really, they weren't that hard to find. First of all, Jesus really is my luz :) it didn't really matter if I was missing something like electricity or whatever other thing. I mainly just care about being a missionary. Also, some of our investigators actually noticed our absence :) sometimes the absence of light (whether spiritual or physical) makes you realize how much you need it. I've never been so happy to shower with the lights on before! haha

Good news, I could remember my cookie recipe by heart...so I set out to make cookies for the activity we had this saturday even with the missing ingredients and all of the other ingredients looking weird. And without measuring cups. It was quite the adventure. but of course I loved it :) and they actually weren't bad! Not like what they are in america...but pretty sure it was the first time some of those people had a chocolate chip cookie in their entire lives. So they didn't have much to judge it by. haha

Speaking of the activity, it was awesome! We had a distict activity so all of the ramas in the district of la mancha came...as well as all of their elders and such. And we had SEVEN investigators come from ciudad real. We were pretty darn excited. That's the most investigators this city has ever seen... and for once, our tiny little chapel was actually full :) It was super fun. We had a bunch of musical numbers, a couple talks (the cleggs grandsons from arizona were here so they were kind of the circus act. baha) and then lots of food. Plus all of the little kids got a little missonary chapa :) and our investigator Paulina (she is getting baptized July 2nd) told us last week that now she wants to get sealed in the temple and she wants her two little daughters to go on missions too! That made us pretty happy.

So essentially, things are moving...little by little!

mom, did you ever look up the family history? about hna clegg? pretty sure we're cousins...I just want to figure out how.

Also...something kind of funny about me and hna millán is our little language barrier...because she is still learning english and I am definitely learning spanish we spend all day going back and forth. Sometimes we'll have a whole conversation in spanish, sometimes in english, sometimes she'll speak spanish and i'll answer in english or sometimes i'll speak spanish and she'll answer in english. It's a little bit crazy. I'm confused 75% of the time :)

anyway...I love you all so much!!!!

happy blessing ashlyn!

happy sleeping in my room caden and jaxen! haha

muchissimo amor como siempre,

Hermana Ross

p.s. I'm sorry there's a few people I haven't emailed back because I didn't have time...but I promise it isn't because I don't love you
