Week 16 The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love:
  1. I finally got Smart and bought oil, kernals and salt. And now I make popcorn for myself all the time! Probably not a great thing I discovered but I am always craving popcorn… Dinner, breakfast ALLL the time!
  2. Typically I wash my clothes at 7 in the morning on Mondays. It is probably 55 degrees outside and we only have FREEZING water. So I am always freezing. But! I finally figured out that I could BOIL water and pour it in the sink. It only took me 3 months to figure that out. I am no longer freezing! Woop, woop!
  3. The people here are so kind! I am always amazed by how much they are willing to serve us! There is a man that drives a fruit truck around and every Thursday we buy a ton of fruit from him. He drove by us on Sunday and knew that we didn’t buy things on Sunday so he gave us some fruit!! How nice is he?! And then we were running late one night and had to walk the long way home because the other route was dangerous. As we were walking on the main road a man from our church pulled over and offered us a ride home for FREE (he works as a taxi driver). I have a million other ways people serve us… but that will do for now.

Things I am learning to love:
  1. Oh my gosh. This week we were teaching a lady and her 4 year old daughter. The daughter had a kitten and every time I looked at her she had a new way of torturing the cat. The first time she was dancing with the cat holding it by its NECK. The next time she was swinging it around by its two front paws. And the last time she was swinging it and then let go so it went flying and flipping through the air and smashed into the ground. I do not even like cats that much but I kept cringing every time I watched her. I had to keep reminding myself that the kitten has survived this long… It will probably live. Probably.
  2. COMPY brought up hugging again. She asked me why I do not like hugging her when I will great other people with a hug. MER MER MER. I should have seen this coming. I told her because we are with each other 24/7….  And we don’t need to hug allllll the time. I should probably learn to hug her
  3. I know you have all been missing my bathroom stories so I have two for you: I pee’d on myself while trying to pee outside this week. Real cool. Probably payback for laughing at my comp when the dog pee’d on her. And the second, when we were in a lesson a little girl was yelling at her mother to come wipe her and apparently the mom took to long because the little girl came waddling in with her pants at her ankles. As she did so she left a little present on the floor. Later during the lesson it started to smell so strongly of poo, I look over and the present was no longer on the floor. Who knows what happened to it…

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...

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! ...
