How is everyone? I'm doing really well. This was a very interesting week. It has been a very introspective week and transfer. I don't have a TON of time left, and so I have to make the most of it. BUT, this week, some pretty cool things happened. We have a recent convert lady named Alma and she came to us and said she wanted to get married to her boyfriend (who we're teaching) THIS WEEK! They told us DAY OF. They just wanted to get it done! They asked us to help them out with a few things and they had already done all the paperwork. So we just made a little cake for them and helped her get all ready and then they went to the courthouse. We tried to get the bishop or SOMEONE to do it at the church, but because it was such short notice, no one was available that had the authority and knew Spanish. SOOO it was just us and an hermano from the ward and them. First and maybe ONLY time I'll be a witness for a wedding. Officially. I signed their papers. Hahah But it was really exciting for them. They've been working towards it and finally did it! She didn't want to make it a big deal, but we did our best to make it special for her. And she said her favorite color was black and blue. So we dressed up for it. We actually coordinated our outfits with polka dots and teal. We don't usually coordinate like that, but we did for fun. Everyone noticed the rest of the day. It was a good topic of conversation. haha
Also this week, our zone of missionaries are making a shirt and they put me in charge of it. We went over to a sister's house and she helped us put it all together on photoshop. It turned out really nice. Second shirt I've ever designed. Loved it.
Also, we had a zone conference about the Atonement. OH MY GOSH. So good! It was about the enabling power of the Atonement. Because Jesus Christ did the Atonement, we can not only be clean from sin, but be STRENGTHENED. We can turn our weaknesses over to Him and be supported and given the help that we need, that Heavenly Father knows we need. THAT is amazing. My favorite thing about the gospel. The STRENGTH and POWER. This gospel is so true.
Hope you all have an amazing week!

Hna. Hernandez doing what she has to to talk to people. Hahaha
I'm really really good with selfies #alligatorarmprobs
My camera has a 3-photo timer setting, so here's the sequence of photos:
1) "JUMPING PICTURE! Ready, GO!"
2) "Oh no! Here comes a car!... Don't look like a tourist. Don't look like a tourist..."
3) "Should we try a jump... Ah. It's too late. We already look like tourists"
