Week 48: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love:
  1. We got stuck in a rainstorm. We were just walking from one visit to our pensions house when out of NOWHERE it started pouring SO HARD. Like rain drops the size of golf balls. We got soaked. You could literally squeeze tons of water out of my clothes. BUT hey that’s what makes it fun, right?
  2. Our pension has started feeding us VEGTABLES. What!! It’s a miracle. She was joking around saying we were going to only eat vegtables because they were buying new furniture… But we took the opportunity to tell her that we WANTED ONLY vegtables. PLEASE. Wooop. Woop.
  3. We were helping a lady was her clothes this week and all of a sudden she jumped in the tub and started jumping on her clothes. Haha this lady. She is so funny. She speaks more quetchua than Spanish so it’s always entertaining to chat with her. But one day this week we brought someone with us that speaks quetchua and she LOVED IT. I’m pretty sure they were just making fun of me the whole time! But at least she felt more comfortable.. ha
  4. ROCIO GOT BAPTIZED. And holy she is so happy. So happy to go to church. So happy to get baptized. I just love her. She’s 18 years old and the greatest.


Things I’m learning to love:
  1. This week I bought a pilfrut (juice in a bag) and it was RANCID.  Like so nasty. SO SO NASTY. So of course I didn’t drink it. On of the Elders had also bought one and decided he was just going to drink it… WELP what do you know. He was hit with it coming out of both ends the next day. Oh my. That is the difference between Sisters and Elders.
  2. This week was the week of cancelations (is that a word???). Everybody seemed to be busy or busy this week. We decided to stand on the corner and talk with EVERYONE that passed by us. And let me tell you. IT WORKED. Haha we met so many GREAT people. But we’ll see if the end up canceling on us.
  3. The water situation continues. I don’t understand. How is it pouring and yet there is NO WATER. Don’t get it. But who needs showers...

 Thanks Kim Catron for the sweet face masks. 
 Saying goodbye to homegirl!! She'll be in LA in March. Feel free to visit her! :) 
 This is our crazy zone. Cambios this week. WOOP. WOOP. 
 Some girl told me she had fish. She went and grabbed her fish tank, put it in my lap and walked away. UHHHH WHAT. What am I supposed to do with fish?? 
 Hahaha This cholita, Filomena, stole my glasses. She also has no problem patting my chest and saying, ¨tan grande?¨. Loca. 
 We snuck into Hna Florentinas house and stole some fruit :)
 When she gets sick of using her hands to wash clothes... Just use your feet. 
 It started pouring!! We were walking to lunch and WOOP. We got SOAKED.
 The whole street was flooded. BUT HEY. I still love the RAIN. 
 This little homie stole my camera and now I have about 300 extra photos. 
 Rocio got baptized!!! Woop woop isn't she the cutest?!?! She was just soooo happy!!
 Gracias a Mama Hoffman for Rocios dress ;)

Moving furniture. And children hiding.

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! ...
