Week 64: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love:
  1. We went exploring in the mountains! We found waterfalls, a river, trees and a bridge! It was the best... Eventhough I may have been dying it was definitely worth it! OH OH we also saw a monkey! WHAT THE! Sorry. No pictures. BUT I saw one!
  2. This week I felt the spirit guiding me so many different times! One in particular is when I felt like we had to stop and pray before leaving the house. We always pray, and I think we had already prayed BUT I felt like we had to stop in the stairs and pray again. I offered the pray and prayed for comfort (consuelo). It was super strange. I didn't know why those words came to my mind but as the day went by I had some super hard news come my way. I recognized that night that God had guided me and helped me to recognize what I needed. 
 
Thinks I'm learning to love:
  1. What we call the double dragon.... I'm sure you can alll guess what that means. When it is coming out both ends. WAHHHH. I got so sick this week. But it always passes, right?! Lets hope. 
  2. OH MY GOSH. I was feeling pretty sick when a lady offered us juice. Well first she had offered us soup and I talked our way out of it and then she offered us juice so we had to accept. BUT she was slaughtering ducks. Her hands were covered in duck guts. When she handed me a cup I watched the liquid from her hands drip into my cup... WAHHHH. I wanted to dump it out. Or say no. But I just drank it. I'd like to blame that on me being sick... but I was already sick when she gave me the juice.

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! ...
