Happiness is found when you stop comparing yourself to other people!

Suuuuper funny-tense story… this week we were walking along, contacting and finding people to teach, when we come up on this member, who has a screwdriver up in her car door and struggling with this part, and we walk up and ask if we could help—one thing you should know is that, all of my life my motto has been, "call dad, he can fix it..." well since i can no longer do that, my new motto has become "my dads an engineer, i can fix that..." yeah,.. let’s just say it isn’t a good thing to try messing with things you have no clue how they work—So I’m looking at this door, and decide to go around to the other side to see what it’s supposed to look like, and start messing with it, and touched something that i shouldn’t have, and it locks in place, just like the other side…so i totally broke it! so much for service! I said a silent prayer, and was pleading sooooo hard that i could figure out how to fix it, cause cars are expensive, and i did not want to pay for that! I said “hey, Hermana Lopez, can you bring that manual over here for a second” (she had been reading it since the lady gave it to her, happy it was in English and we could read it and fix her problem...) she came over, and i told her what had happened, and she was like, no way.. well yes. yes way…then the lady came over and flipped, and told us we could just leave before we broke anything else! she was soooo ticked!! so i prayed again, and fiddled with some things, scared to break it more, and turns out when i stopped and thought about it, i figured out how to fix it, and was able to fix both the doors!  So prayers are answered!!  I was freaking out pretty bad.  Hermana Medrano had been trying to find me a stress ball to calm me down, and ended up pulling out a lid from a fast food drink and started squeezing it and told me i could use that, and i was like, what the flip!? Put that back in the trash.
Love you all and hope all is well…I have changes and am going back to Utatlan tomorrow, hopefully with a good comp—have a great week. Thanks for the letters—I love them, hope the snow is fun!!
