Week 50: The Dreaded Weekly EMAIL

Milagros this week!! Too many people to teach. Too many investigators at church coudn't talk to all of them! Is that even possible.... It happened! Love you all! The work is good and I am great! 

Things I love:
  1. This week we were walking down the street near our house and a dog came barking and charging at us. MER. My love for dogs is for sure decreasing everyday! BUT out of no where a cholita (traditionally dressed bolivian lady) with a broom came charging at this dog. Yelling at it to leave us alone. Oh my. I love her. And after that I could not stop laughing. Saved by a cholita. 
  2. DUDE. This morning I went HIKING. I miss hiking. I love hiking. This morning was the best. I pretty sure when I get home I'll be spending 7 days in the mountains. By myself. Ok maybe not. BUT this morning was SO GREAT. We hiked to the tallest hill near us (basically a mountain. Almost...) . And at the top there were BULLS. HA. So random. And then a random CHOLITA searching for her lost lamb.. haha I love Bolivia. And Hiking.
  3. We had an activity this week with the jovencitas from our ward. I taught them how to make pizza! They were all so excited. They wrote down the recipe and ate 5 HUGE pizzas. Cool. 
  4. We were playing with a little girl this week and my compi grabbed her toy, that she couldn't reach - to help her - and the little girl screamed GIVE IT TO ME. haha couldn't stop laughing yet again. 
  5. MY compi is growing up.. She has to u se the bathroom ALOT. But she refuses to ask for the bathroom. SO I HAVE TO. In my broken spanish I always have to ask for her. BUT this week she asked allll by herself. Mi wawita is growing up!

Things I'm learning to love:
  1. This week I tried to help some cholitas peel potatoes. They just LAUGHED at me. hahahaha I was a little slower than them. They could peel it with one strip. And my strips feel off the size of a finger nail. One day. ONE DAY. 
  2. A man tried to BUY ME. !!! WHAT?!?!?! A 50 year old man said he wanted to conquer me. Our friend told him I wasn't easy... and then he said there wasn't anything money couldn't buy!!! WHAT THE LOCO. haha he then turned to me and asked if I spoke spanish. I said no. And then he asked how old I was and I said 18. CRAZY MAN. POR FAVOR NO!
Bought fresh milk and cheese. WOOP. 
 They told me I look better as a cholita... Should I believe them? 
 These are ALLLLL of my compis. 
 I was trying to kick the dog out of our house. He wouldn't leave. Gotta be meaner. 
 Bread the size of my head. 
 The ladies laughing at me while I tried to peal potatoes.
 Our amiga... Who almost sold me. 
 The group learning to make pizza!
 PIZZZZA!
 HIKING!!! So happy :)
 We found this I don't even know what but it had all the names of the apostoles written on rocks. 
 Look how sweaty I got. GROSS. 
compi dyed the tips of her hair blonde. She wanted to look like her mom :)

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...

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! ...
