Week 70: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love:
  1. We met the sweestest family this week! And when I say sweetest I mean the most hilarious most sarcastic family! We asked a cholita if she knew where someone lived.. but she had never heard of the person we were looking for. We started talking with the lady. She and her family grow lettuce, flowers, blackberries, avocado and a ton of other plants to sell. The whole time we were talking with her she kept trying to kick us out... PUNK. She kept saying things like, "yeah yeah are you guys finished??" and we were only asking about her plants!! She finally told us we could talk religion for 5min. When started talking her daughter ran inside and pulled out a BOM! WHAT THE?! The whole time we were talking she kept telling us our 5min were almost up.. haha I was trying not to laugh the whole time! We then forced her to give us a tour of her garden and she ended up not trying to kick us out by the end of our visit.She taught us how to wash and wrap lettuce and even invite us to come back :)
  2. My new comps name is Hna. Pucha. Pucha means "good heavens" or "dangit" haha. So everytime she intoduces herself to people they always start laughing and then ask her again what her name is... my poor comp. But don't worry! I have been super mature and haven't laughed... too much. 
  3. Miracle. I was thinking back to my first few months here when I dreaded having to talk with new people.. and now I LOVE talking with everyone. I love hearing about their lives, I love hearing about what they do. I love just getting to know people! Wahhh. Bolivia is the BEST. 


Things I am learning to love:
  1. This week while praying with some of our investgators they started saying strange things and TAPPING OUR HEADS (mine and my companions). I had to work so hard to not start laughing. Oh man. Sometimes it's rough being reverent. 
  2. OH MY GOSH! This week a lady starting telling us about gifts that she had.... She told us she could feel and talk with dead people. BUT THEN she started telling us that her strongest gift was her ability to communicate with DOGS! WHAT?! Hahaha oh my. The laughs may have spilled out. 
  3. Haha this week we met a lady who was super anti mormon. We just listened to her and as we were leaving she told us that she was going to pray for our souls. Oh the things people tell us. 
We found the cutest family!

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! ...
