Week 23: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love

  1. This week compi wrote out the words to a song in Spanish. I have the song on my iPod so we have been listening to it on REPEAT and SCREAMING along. Haha I’m so grateful she wrote out the words for me… because for we all know I am TERRIBLE with lyrics… I think she was sick of hearing me try to figure out what was being said, thus she wrote the lyrics for me :)
  2. This week I became OFFICIAL. Woop, woop. I finally got my Bolivian I.D. Every time we go to the spot for VISA stuff there’s always traffic like crazy and crossing the street is a mess. But this last time we went there was a policeman standing around, he saw compi and I and STOPPED the traffic so that we could pass. Special treatment?! Yeah, I’ll take it. 
  3. There’s a guy in our ward named Miguel. He’s 21 years old and just got back from his mission 3 months ago. EVERY TIME we go to his house he LOVES pushing food on us. He just sits there and laughs because it happened to him on his mission… Well this week he came teaching with us and was feeling super sick and the people we were visiting kept pushing food on him! He had to run to their bathroom TWICE and the lady continued to push food his way. I was laughing so hard at him, KARMA. 
Things I’m learning to love

  1. I have a new pet peeve: people chewing in my ear. The children here eat this powder stuff that’s basically like trying to eat cinnamon. It dries up your mouth so quickly and is impossible to eat. This week a little girl was eating this goop and had her head on my shoulder… ICK. It was like listening to nails on a chalkboard. YUCK. I put my hand on her chin and closed her mouth. 
  2.  Last week we were playing soccer on cement and I fell pretty good. I got a nasty cement burn on my leg. One of the days this week the children at our pensionistas house were playing under the table when all of a sudden I felt a tiny little child’s finger nail scratch all the way down my cement burn. AHHHH. Thank you. 
  3. WE DID NOT HAVE AGUA FOR 4 DAYS. Which could have been fine… except for the fact that I’ve been trying to wash my hair less (because my hair has been falling out.  I was on day 2 of not washing my hair when we lost AGUA. AHHHHHH 6 days of not washing my hair. GROSS. Worked the french braids and dry shampoo. 
  4. It’s getting hotter. I like the heat but I don’t like sweat. Compi and I were sitting down waiting for a member and when my compi stood up there was a big wet spot. I laughed at her… and then when I stood up THERE WAS A WET SPOT. Eeek. GROSS.
Also. I read 2 Nephi Chapter 4 this week. Read it. Notice all the times the word HEART is mentioned... and figure out why it's so important to have your heart in line with the Lords :)

 Love you alllllllllll. 













I cant remember what week this was. The one I wrote about the temple (MY COMPI FROM THE MTC) (the one that peed on me)
 More from when I went to the temple
 P days i'm SUPER attractive
 Me and the new compi

 Notice the french braids... because I hadn't washed my hair in FARRRR too long.

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! ...
