Week 27. THE DREADED WEEKLY EMAIL

Things I love:
  1.  I love knowing that the message I am here to share truly can change peoples lives. This week was super interesting. But from all the odd experiences we had I love knowing that when we put our trust in God he can do more with our lives than we could ever do for ourselves.
  2. We’ve been teaching this 8year boy with his sister and every couple minutes Christian, the little boy, will say “una pregunta”. I LOVE THIS because I used to say that to my comp a few hundred times a day. Every time he says it I have to keep from laughing BUT he always has good questions. He’s always interested in Jesus and learning more about his life.
Things I’m learning to love:
  1. The time it takes to plan for each day. OH MY GOSH. I stare at my watch and dream about sleeping. MER. Why does it take so long?!?!!?
  2. Ok. So we have been sharing our mini fridge with our sweet little grandma who lives with us, which is totally great. BUT. She puts her raw meat next to my fruits and vegtables and somehow her raw meat juices always bleed through her glass container and get too close to comfort to my fruits and vegies. EEEK. So far I haven’t gotten sick so IT’S ALL GOOD.
  3. We helped a lady clean her house this week. Her house is HUGE. But it looked as it no one had lived in it for years because it was so dirty. I swept the same area 4 times and each time there was an insane amount of dirt. I had a huge pile of dirt in the middle of the room and when I look over her DOGS were ROLLING in the pile. COOL.
  4. Sorry for the short email! Love you alllllll!
 I FELL AGAIN. literally on the SAME exact knee that I fell on last time. WHAT THE HECK. You can kinda see the scar from the last time I fell. 
 COMPI and I playing in the playground. WAHOOO
 Another pic of my knee :)
 THE MOON WAS SOOOO BIG. I know that it looks tiny but it was HUGE. 
 The DOGS that kept rolling in my dirt piles. ALSO. They pee'd and poo'd all over the house. THUS the gloves. 
 I love this little boy. His name is Christian. And every 30 seconds he says "Una Pregunta". Yeah me too homie.  
This is us. Every night at 10pm READY TO SLEEP.

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! ...
