Week 34: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love:
  1. Alright. I don’t love that my compi was sick… BUT. She was hilarious when she was sick this week. She told me she was craving candy. So I got her a bag of candy… and then when I gave it to her she just glared at me and asked why I had bought SO MUCH CANDY! … UHHHHH you’re welcome COMPI :) I wish I had written down everything thing she said. My stomach hurt at the end of the day from laughing at all her comments.
  2. OH MY GOODNESS. I love salteñas. We all already know that… BUT this week we had to go out of our area to drop someone off and I asked the taxi driver if there were any good salteñas close. He pulled a crazy U (is that how you spell that… who knows) and drove us to find some yummy salteñas! Woop woop. He ALSO didn’t charge us extra! But… then he started asking if we could date, have a bf, go out dancing… RED FLAG! NOPE.
  3. This week we were teaching a 12 year old and her sister who was 17. THEY WERE SO FUNNY. We asked the 12 year old why she liked going to church and she told us, “los chicos!” Uhhhhh what?!?! You’re 12 years old. AND then we asked her what we could pray for for her and she told us her chicos… Haha crazy 12 year old.

Things I’m learning to love:
  1. This week we were helping out another companionship. We were helping them get all their lugguage to their new house… So we were a little late to our district meeting (weekly meeting with other missionaries). AND it happened to be THE ONLY time President Hansen happened to be in our district meeting. WHAT THE. Why am I cursed to ONLY be late when President randomly pops in. Merrrr.
  2. BOTH times we took taxis this week the drivers tried to tell us we needed to find husbands in Bolivia. We needed to date. Mer mer mer. That’s what happens when there are TWO WHITE GIRLS together in Bolivia. We just try to change the subject. Or talk about why we WANT to be missionaries (aka nuns) for 18 months. :)
  3. This week there guys sitting on our roof. I think they were working on the roof… who knows. BUT they were just hanging. Drinking juice and eating crackers. And because we’re on the top floor it was AWK. That’s all. Supes awk. 
 This is the BOY CRAZY 12 year old :)
 ENGLISH CLASS IS CRAZY. 
but so fun. 
 I may have gotten BORED while compi was sick ALL DAY. 
Thanks Jamie for the costume.

 Yeah. It rained. CRAZY clouds.

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! ...
