Week 44: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Real sorry for allll the mistakes. We're gonna blame my keyboard this time.  Things I love: There was a middle aged woman pushing a grandma in a Wheel chair down the road, followed by a trail of  children. I have seen them a few times in the street. And always wanted to talk to them but THIS TIME we finally made time to talk with them. And we followed them to there house to chat with them. The grandma could not speak Spanish so we were just trying to somehow communicate. The middle aged woman, who is her daughter, sat and talked with us for a while. She told us that all of her 5 siblings had moved to the United States and had done something with their lives. She said they all knew how to drive cars and then she said she didn’t know how to drive a car and hadn’t done much… I told her that she knew how to drive her mothers wheel chair  and that mattered so much more. She laughed at me. And then her mom started laughing too. Haha I love the humble people here. Thi...

Things I love: Gahhhh. I could write a million reasons why I love CHRISTMAS but ain’t nobody got time for dat… SO I’ll just share a few reasons: CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. Remember how I lost all of my photos?? Welp, I did. I even brought my card to a tech guy and he looked and told me it was impossible to get my photos back. Mer. My stomach was a little sick over it. I was a little sad. A lot sad. AND THEN. An Elder told me he new how to recover photos. I was like yeah thanks someone has already tried… DON’T GET MY HOPES UP.. but if you want to try SURE WHY NOT. CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. He got EVERY SINGLE photo back!!! He’s the best. Everyone is so much KINDER and willing to talk about Christ around Christmas time. It is seriously the best time to be a missionary. Talking with people is SO MUCH easier!! I love it. The Christmas spirit is REAL. It exists ALLL over the world. We were knocking a door yesterday and a young girl answered. I have knocked that same door about 4 times AND ev...

Thank you for the prayers and thoughts. They truly help more than I can express. I have never felt so supported, mentally and physically, in my entire life. It’s pretty much a miracle that I am able to stay so happy everyday – but I know that prayers are real. I feel your support and I am so grateful! Things I love: Compi drinks my coke for me! Is she not the best?!?! Haha so we have these investigators that give us those mini glass bottles of coke EVERYTIME we teach them.. Cokes great and all BUT I cannot drink soda that fast. SOOOOO we came up with a great system. I’ll drink about 1 sip in the time that compi drinks 7/8 of her bottle and then when they’re not watching us we’ll quickly SWITCH our bottle. And BAM. I’ve magically got one sip left and compi drinks the other 7/8 of the bottle. SHE IS THE BEST. Sure gonna miss her. This week we were visiting one of our cholita friends, Florentina. She kept shoving potatoes and cheese at us and telling us to eat. AND then she tol...
