Week 72: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love:
  1. 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!
  2. We helped Rucelvy (our convert) wash a blanket..... haha but it weighed about 50lbs when it was wet! when we got to her house she told us she had been washing it for 3 hours!!! So we decided it would be faster to take our shoes off and just jump on it :) Who  knows if it got any cleaner but it was fun!
  3. I was showing an old grandpa pictures of my family. He grabbed his wallet pulled out a picture of christ and gave it to me and then told me it was his older brother..... and then he began laughing so hard. Ayyy abuelitos :) I couldn't stop laughing either. 
 
Things I am learning to love:
  1. Ick This week we helped a lady put cow heart on skewers. eeeek. My hands smelled like cow heart for quite some time afterwards.
  2. We were in a taxi and I felt like I had to give my BOM with pictures to our taxi driver. I really didn't want to. I love my childrens BOM. But I kept feeling like I had to give it to him.... mer so I gave it to him and now I'm without my childrens BOM. Let's hope he gets baptized. 
  3. VIruses in computers. MER. 
 Washing a blanket ... It was so HEAVY!
 More of us trying to wash the blanket.
 Always finding sick Grafiti!. 
 My compi for the day! ;) 
 Mote... or corn. But it tastes so good
 Cows. Chickens. Dogs. 
 Visiting my old ward for a baptism with Hna. Pucha.
 Estefany from my old ward! :) 
 Gelen!! My old pensionista! 
 So sad... we were knocking this door and this little girl was playing with beer bottles.
I think this guy is famous for something.. because all the streets were shut down near him but I have no idea who he is.

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...
