Week 61: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love:
  1. EASTER. I truly love Easter. I remember even before the mission I loved the spirit of easter! My mom always did good job of making it spiritual and fun for us as kiddos. It was a little strange that hardly anyone celebrated it here. A little bit sad. BUT we went and visited one of our recent convert families. They have been struggling A LOT. When we walked into their house they two little girls were balling. WHAT?! I was so confused. When we looked at their t.v. they were watching videos about Jesucristo – about easter. Wahh it was such a humbling experience to see the spirit they were able to feel and the love they had for their Savior.
  2. We went EXPLORING! Again. It was the best. I love my area. My area is full of flowers. And hippies. And mountains. I love that on Mondays we can just drive up (wellll take a trufi up) into the mountains!
  3.  This week there was an open house in the mission home! We were able to take our investigators and it was such an incredible experience! Our investigator told us that she felt something in her heart that she would never forget! I love easter. I love our Savior and I am so grateful that I am able to share those feelings I have with others!

Things I am learning to love:
  1. Oh my gosh. This week I was getting in the trufi and for some reason I didn’t notice that the trufi was a lot lower than normal… I ended up smashing my head while trying to get in and then bouncing off the car. WAHH. My head hurt so bad. My vision went black for a quick minute and then I realized I still had to get in the trufi (it’s a van). Merrrr. Hahaha realllll cool.
  2. There’s one house we visit that has the NASTIEST DOG. It is full of dreads, bugs, branches, mud and allllll sorts of nasty. It smells so strong! And always wants to rub up on me. WHAT THE. Por favor, NO.
  3. I love all churches. I love that people can gather and feel better… BUT I don’t love the catholic church that is one block from my house and BLASTS songs that sound like a whole bunch of fuzzy signal at 6 in the morning. Rant over.

Love you fools. Thanks for writing me. Thanks for emailing me. Thanks for reading my emails. You da BESSSSSS.

Peace out.

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! ...
