Week 56: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love:
  1. I love that there is a Mericado right in front of our house. It is like a street market and it has every fresh fruit and vegetable you could EVER think of! I love that all we have to do is walk about 12 steps and we can buy whatever we want!
  2. We had intercambios this week… where we trade comps for a day. AND IT WAS SO GREAT. I mean. Don’t get me wrong  I LOVE MY COMPI. But the hermana I was with was such an example to me! I loved hearing her story and seeing how she was able to truly able to dedicate herself to the mission!
  3. GUYS. The world is SO SMALLL!! SO SMALLL. The family we eat lunch with EVERY SINGLE DAY are the aunt and uncle of one of my good friends for college! WHAT THE! Freaking small world!

Things I am learning to love:
  1. OH MY! There is a COW somewhere below our house that loves to wake us up at 5:30 in the morning!! WHAT THE HECK!!! I wanted to jump out the window and find the cow. MER. Welll really I just wanted to sleep. But THE COW kept singing to us. MER MER MER.
  2. This week I was taking a shower when all of a sudden the lights went out and the hot water stopped. WHAT. MORE WATER PROBLEMS?! Alright… well this wasn’t a water problem. We thought it was because we forgot to pay the light… BUT NOPE. We payed the light and we still had no light… turns out some one was just playing with the switch downstairs and turned our light off! PUNKS. Only took us a couple days to figure that out.
  3. Wahhhh this week we found a little boy. A 5 year old boy crying all by himself at 9pm. He didn't have anyone and he was balling. When we got closer he was locked in a fenced area and couldn’t get out. We also noticed he didn’t have any shoes or socks and he had throw up all over him. Wahhh we wanted to cry. We ended up figuring out how to get him out of the fence and we just sat with him in our arms for an hour until finally is aunt came for him. WAHHHH we wanted to cry and adopt the poor kiddo. So sad.

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! ...
