Week 19 and 20 - The Dreaded Weekly Email

Sorrry I didn´t write last week. Compi was sickkkkk all day, so we didn´t leave the house. So here´s a list for both weeks :)

Love you all!! Thanks for writing me!!! 

Week 19 

Things I love:
  1. Compi is older than me. She´s 25. She´s also from Bolivia AND she´s way more dramatic than me about all the terrible smells. Which is hilarious because SHE´S FROM HERE!
  2. Compi corrects me. It´s the best. I didn´t realize that almost everything I say is WRONG. But it´s cool. I´m learning.
  3. I discovered the roof of my house! Compi was sick allllll day (last P-Day) thus I had a ton of time to explore the 200sq ft of my house. I CAN CLIMB ON THE ROOF. Wahooooo! It´s only taken me 3 months to discover that! The view from our roof is so cool!

Things I´m learning to love:
  1. OH MY GOSH. I lost our house keys. It was my old compis very last day and my new compis first day. AND WE COULD NOT GET INTO OUR HOUSE. Talk about the very worst day I could have lost our keys… yup. But some guy from our ward helped us break in through the window.  And then I paid to have two copies of each key made; to our house, to our kitchen and the outside door.
  2. I BASHED MY HEAD INTO A SIGN. Haha It was so pathetic. So many short people. I was walking down the street like normal, looking down when all of a sudden I bashed my had SO HARD into a sign. Just a normal cross walk sign or something like that… but because everyone here is so short the signs are lower. I wanted to cry. It hurt SO BAD. And then I had a headache for the next couple DAYS.
  3. HOT DOGS. GAHHHHH. We had a ward activity and they kept serving me hot dogs ! I ended up eating three… I hate hot dogs. THEN. They gave us the extra hot dogs to take home.. thanks J So the next morning I´m studying and my comp walks in with a plate of TWO HOT DOGS FOR ME FOR BREAKFAST! WHAT?!?! I could have cried. Please, please no. AND THEN… in case that wasn´t enough… we visited a family that same day and she gave us each 2 HOT DOGS. I really wanted to cry. Two days and SEVEN hotdogs. NEVER AGAIN. I told my comp I don´t like hot dogs when she tried to cook them for breakfast again the next day…. I just couldn´t. 

Week 20

Things I love:
  1. We´re teaching this Grandma who has NO TEETH and she can´t hear so she screams at us and then we have to scream back at her. But we have to be 2 in from her ear for her to be able to hear us. She cries a ton and always tells us that she´s been praying for us to come visit her.
  2. The other night we were in an area that was kinda dangerous and we didn´t know how we were going to get home. We were teaching a guy and he told us he could give us a ride home. Little did we know he had a GIANT SEMI TRUCK. So we all squished (5 of us) into the front part of the semi and went off roading to get home. Obviously much safer than walking…
  3. A little boy told me I was beautiful when we were sitting in the trufi. He told me he liked my light blue eyes. Then his mom told me it was his birthday and they wanted a picture with me. Soooo basically I have a 6 year old boyfriend.

Things I´m learning to love:
  1. Compi was SICK on P-DAY thus we didn´t leave the house.. WAHHH and no internet lastweek.
  2. My comp walks soooo slow. Like so slow.
  3. Compi would rather wait 30min for a taxi than walk the 25min to our destination. I would rather bash my head in for 30min than wait for a taxi when we could be WALKING.
  4. Tin roofs and crazy wind. We´ve had crazy wind this week and the roofs are basically blowing off. We were teaching someone when a cinder block fell through the roof. Haha the construction of the houses is REALLY good here. And super safe.

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! ...
