Week 26: The dreaded weekly email

Eeeekk. I am so sorry for the TERRIBLE grammar and spelling...

Things I love:
  1. I discovered a new vegtable. It´s like a mix between a cucumber and celery but it’s fuzzy on the inside. I think it’s called achocha. I now eat it almost EVERYDAY. Along with my ice cream sandwich…
  2. OH MY GOSH. We were introducing ourselves to a new investigator and my compi kept messing up the ladies name. She said her name was Mary and my compi said, ¨Mucho gusto Patricia¨ (Nice to meet you Patricia). We both just looked at her and then Mary said, ¨My name is Mary¨. Then about a minute later my comp asked, ¨Sooo Patricia, what´s your last name.¨ I couldn`t hold in my laughter. Oh my goodness. AND THEN, to change the subject, my compi asked what her daughters name was…. Mary just looked at her and said, ¨my son?¨. Yup, then I for real lost it and could not stop laughing.
  3. We’ve been trying to meet more people in the street instead of knocking doors. So we saw a group of people playing basketball in the park. I ran up and told them to pass the ball to me. They were so nice. We ended up playing basketball with them and giving them a few pass-a-long cards. WOOOP for not knocking doors.

Things I´m learning to love:
  1.  There are two classes of chocolate milk. The super rich, creamy almost half and half good stuff. And then there’s the other kind which I would never drink… When I got here I thought the chocolate milk was so gross. It was the other kind. It tasted like a fake soy milk with fake chocolate…. YEAH and now I buy it almost everyday and I LOVE IT. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!  
  2. We met this guy on the street who said he wanted to learn about the Mormon faith BUT he refused to believe what we said and he would not take our pamphlet. He told us to write some names down and he would go do his own research on the internet. GAH. I told him if he wanted to know what Mormons really believed he could ask us because WE ARE MORMON. He then told me that Wikipedia was a better source of information… MER.
  3. I BROKE THE KEY TO THE CHAPEL. The bishop doesn’t like to lend his keys but he asked me to play the piano for the ward conference so I needed the keys to be able to practice… When I I went to pull the key out of the door I was unlocking only half of the key came out!! And the other half was stuck in the door AHHHHHHH. Mmhmm now we’ll for sure never get the keys to the chapel.
 Playing basketball with some random kiddos.
 The ghetto bridge over the black water that smells like poo.
 Found a random parade going on for some virgin. So of course i had to take a picture with one of the kiddos.
 This is the ugliest photo of me BUT I found a random bird.
Can you find me?? Stuffing as many people as we can in a trufi.

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! ...
