Week 38: The Dreaded Weekly Email

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:
  1. 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. 
  2. 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:
  1. OH MY GOSH. The animal drama in the home of my pensionista CONTINUES. Most recently the youngest boy was playing in the fish tank and accidentally killed the BIGGEST COOLEST FISH. One down, 7 to go. ALSO. In the last two weeks they adopted two puppies and are now down to ZERO puppies. The animal drama. EEEEEKKKK. I still get a heart attack every time I see the kiddos chucking the kittens across the room… BUT HEY they’re still alive! I’ve decided I’ll never be able to have little animals and little children at the same time because I’d probably end up murdering the children.
  2. Our shower decided not to have hot water this week. And I’ve never really been one for super cold showers SO I decided to boil some water and take a bucket shower. It worked out pretty well. I didn’t freeze and I felt decently clean. 

We accidentally bought WAY TOO MUCH butter. 

 HALLOWEEN
 LOOK at that nice GREEN water :)
 Made some cookie dough covered oreos... and then fried. YEAH. Fair food. 
 Just chilling on the roof. Cause it's much better than the deck. 
 OUR MOVIE NIGHT. This is AFTER everything finished and we were cleaning but LOOK people came. Woop woop. 
 I put a wig on and said hi to the baby.. and this was her reaction...

 A lady from my ward made me this skirt as a GIFT! And it was POCKETS!!! She's the BOMB. 
She's helping me be more Cholita :)

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. ...

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! ...
