The Silent Treatment

dearest family and friends. 
we are having an ok week. i mean, ive had better.... but we are hanging in there. 
this week hermana paiva stayed at home all day for her foot. she is on rest. so i had a different companion everyday for the last 9 days- i have gotten to know the sisters in the ward pretty well cause of it. so that is a blessing. and they have been able to see missionary WORK first hand. hahahah i have been doiong my best to keep her positive cause she feels useless. and sometimes she gets discouraged. to day she had a break down in front of everyone. and wouldnt talk to me. i didnt know whtat to do! i felt like ammon trying to dicern the thoughts of king lamoni. SHE WOULD NOT COMMUNICATE! i have developed some serious mind reading skills here on the mission. im sure it will serve me well down the road .also, hermana calle has been silent for a week as well. and her companions are discouraged cause they have not developed the mind reading skill quite yet. man. some sisters are pretty subborn. but we are learnign charity and compassion..... and like i said. mind reading. 
this week my companion and i recieved blessings from the zone leaders. we love our zone leaders. they are wonderful! 
rodrigo blessed the sacrament. that wasw a blessing.
sang o sole mio again this time for the YSA in the regeon. but paiva didnt dance. obviously..... 
our ZLs are AMAZING! our new one is the X AP! and an answer to our prayers. cause we stuggled with our last ZL. the ap finishes in november wtih me so he gets to pros in his last few months. 
presidetn told us this week that our zone is the model zone for the mission. so we gotta keep working hard.  also it is the largest zone in the mission. SWEET!!! way to rep . so we gotta keep it up with the interchanges and work visits to keep them working well. we also have 4 new MISSIONARIES in the zone. they are fun and i love their fresh faith. we are doing good. 
i love hte mission. we are working hard doing our best to stay positive and juggle all the little things. its hard. but its important,
i have been learning Compassion the most lately. and the law of consecration. how i can be a more consecrated missionary and member of the church. and how to take care and be sensitive to those around me. and staying positive. 
a good quote i found this week 

"...i think it matters but very little what i suffer, what i sacrificed...if it so be that i keep the faith, fight a good fight, and finish my course with joy," parley p pratt.
YOU SAID IT PARLEY! 

love you all 
hurrah for israil. keep the faith. 
con amor
hermana Gonzales
