Week 63: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love:
  1. Guava juice. You may wonder what I do with alll the guava I steal. I make juice. AND IT IS THE BEST!!!! Mom you better find some guava trees in Washington
  2. This week we saw a miracle!!!! Normally when we knock doors people have little or no interest... and every once in a long while we find some one who is willing to listen to us. BUT April 29, a very special day, EVERYONE opened their door. And everyone was interested and asked to come back. One lady in particular just needed us. She told us she had been super sick for a long time, had almost died... but knew there was a reason she was still alive. I was so grateful to have been able to see the hand of God working miracles throughout the day. Must have been a blessing from my mom and Rachel Hashim... seeing as it was their birthday! Thanks ;)
 
Things I am learning to love:
  1. BROWN WATER FROM THE SINk! Gahhhhh what is that?!?!?! This week when I turned on the sink the water that was coming out was BROWN! Yeah... pretty sure it's not safe to drink.
  2. Ohhhhh my! this week we were talking with a lady in her door (if they don't invite us into their house we always just stand in their door talking). This lady started talking to us and opening up. She told us that she had epilepsy and that she fainted about 6 times a week. We were asking her if she was getting better and she told us that she was slowing having fewer each month. I was looking down writing something and when I looked up she was fainting. AHHH Ihad to drop to the ground and catch her. We stayed with her until she became concious and then we yelled for anyone in her house. Her mom came out and talked with us. We were able to listen to all of the hardships they have been passing through. Having a sickness like that her in Bolivia is really hard because they don't understand it and people think that it's demons...It was sad to hear how little hope they had but I was so grateful to be able to talk with them! As we were leaving they asked me what had happened to my leg (I had scraped it when I was catching the lady) and I had to quickly make up some story. Haha It was a super crazy experience BUT I know that our message can help them!

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! ...
