Week 21: The Dreaded Weekly EMAIL

We went paint balling this morning!! Woop woop it was so fun! My compi is CRAZY and I love it. She loves to dance, correct my Spanish, wear hot pink lipstick and the color black. We have lots of fun. And we teach lots of lessons :)

Things I love:
  1. This week we were visiting a family and they served us food (whats new?). It was super messy. I don´t know  what it was called but it was like fry bread with a purple drink that you could dip your fry bread in. One of the girls was 5 years old and when I looked at here she had purple juice stuff ALLLLL over her. I asked her ¨¿Que paso?!¨ and without hesitating she glared at me and told me it was her beard. Haha I laughed so hard. I love the children here.
  2. IT´S IS GETTING WARMER. Alright. Our house used to be 57 degrees. I have a thermometer on my clock and that might not sound very cold but it was FREEZING. I would sleep with a beanie and my huge jacket and long socks. BUT now our house is 65 degrees and it´s THE BEST. I don´t wake up freezing anymore.
  3.  The week we did a lot of service with a family because the mom broke her leg. We cooked with them, did laundry… the normal things. And they had a 3 year old little girl. I tried talking with her and she would stare at me and then correct my pronunciation. She would say I a word and then I tried to repeat it… She shake her head at me and then say it again… Haha Thank you, Brisa :)
  4. Compi corrects my Spanish and then we work on English… and every time after we practice English she complains about how bad her jaw hurts. Haha SORRY.

Things I´m learning to Love:
  1. When we were doing service one of the days this week we fried a bunch of plantains (every thing is FRIED). After frying them we had to smash them all, while doing so a bunch fell on the MUDDY ground. Compi didn´t even hesitate she picked them all up and threw them all back in the bowl thing to continue smashing… UHHH WHAT?!?! Diseases here I come
  2. Compi LOVES taking taxis and trufis EVERYWHERE. We live about 10min walking from the church and she would rather pay for a taxi than walk. I told her we had to start walking more.. So now she has a new excuse every night. It smells so bad she´s going to vomit so she can´t walk. I roll my eyes at here. Her feet hurt. I tell her we´re LAZY. Haha… compromising…
  3. MERRRRR. This week we helped de-lice a few children. That part was fine. But then I felt like I had LICE for the next 3 days. GAHHHHH I felt like I had bugs crawling allll over me. And  who knows… I probably have lice now too.

Week 17 The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love: Noche de Hogar or in English, Family Home Evening. We teach a short lesson and then we PLAY GAMES. For all my friends that LOVE games (not, all my friends hate games)BUT I have some new ones!!! And if anyone has any ideas for games with children SEND THEM MY WAY!! My compy does not trust me to protect her. The other night we finished a lesson at 8:20pm . We typically have to be home between   9 and 9:30pm   everynight. Normally I’d just say lets go home… but this night I said, “LETS GO TEACH CLAUS.” He’s getting baptized this Saturday so we have lots of lessons to teach him. My comp looked at me and said it was too dark and too dangerous. WHAT?!?! I could totally protect us!! The elders were with us and looked at my comp and said, “Lets go!”. My comp looked at the elders and said, “All of us together?! YEAH!”…    I started laughing so hard. WHAT?!?! Oh, ok cool. You’ll trust the elders and NOT ME?!?! Let it be known I could totally protect us. ...

Super short this week!!! But enjoy the pics. AND if you want a letter for Christmas SEND ME YOUR ADDRESS and I will send you one. Love you all!!! Things I love: We had an activity in the church and PEOPLE CAME! Normally we can expect maybe 20 people BUT this time we had 90 people come!!!! WAHOOO. We had a “Noche de Cine” – a movie night in the church. I spent ALLLLLL night cooking popcorn. I made over 30 batches of popcorn. WOOP. So you can add that to my new list of talents.   FRESH FRUIT. Alright I may have already wrote about this BUT there is a fruit truck that drives around here and they have SO MUCH FRESH FRUIT. This morning we chased down the fruit truck (because for some reason it couldn’t see two white giants running down the road) and for less than THREE DOLLARS $3$ I got 25 bananas, a papaya, and 8 mangos. WHAT!? Sorry mom, I’m never coming home. I’m staying just for the fruit ;) Things I’m learning to love: OH MY GOSH. The animal drama in the home...

Week 72: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love: This week we visited a family whose family situation is a little rough. The mom is alone with her three kids. They live in a mud house with one room which has their beds, kitchen and everything. They mom began to lose her eyesight about a year ago and can hardly see now. The mom is a member but her kiddos aren't. She asked if we could help her teach her kids. Her one son is SUPER travieso.... or difficult. Everytime we asked if he liked going to church or if he wanted to learn he glared at us and said NO. Every word that left his mouth was NO! I had brought my book of mormon with pictures and I felt like I should share it with him. We began teaching from the book and he began to become interested.... He even said YES! What the! When we ended we asked him if he could end with a prayer and he said YES! What!?!?! Seeing the change in this little kid was a miracle! We helped Rucelvy (our convert) wash a blanket..... haha but it weighed about 50lbs when it was wet! ...
