Week 75: The Dreaded Weekly Email

Things I love:
  1. Getting to know the people here. This week we had a BBQ with a family that two of the kiddos recently got baptized but the parents aren't member. It was quite hilarious to get to know the family. The dad kept joking with us. He made fun of us for burning the hot dogs. He kept offering us hot drinks as we were dying of heat by the fire... I love when people become comfortable enough to joke with us. 
  2. Being in a position where people trust us. Yesterday we received a call from a woman who was crying. We had never talked with her before but she told us that she wanted to meet with us right a way. We walked a few blocks and met her in the place. She confided in us and told us everything that was happening in her life. I can not believe the trust people have in us... But I truly love the opportunity I have to do my best to represent our Savior. I love that I am given the opportunity everyday to love and comfort people around me. 
  3. Some scriptures that hit my heart this week  3 Nephi 9:2&13, 3 Nephi 15:9, 1Nephi 21:14-16 and Mateo 26:39. These Scriptures helped me a lot this week. The helped me to recognize that our Savior has done everything to give us the opportunity to be saved he is only waiting for us to do our part. It made me realize how much He desires our success and happiness and how hard Satan works to keep us from progressing. Our savior loves us perfectly and truly wants to help us in every moment. 

Things I am learning to love:
  1. I GOT RIPPED OFF! Some lady sold me a broken camera memory. It worked for the first day and then started deleting allll of my pictures! WAHH. So I went to take it back and she just looked at me like I was crazy. SHE RIPPED ME OFFFFFF. 
  2. AHHHH. This week we had to go visit some sisters that live 30min from our house. And when we got back to our house in the night we realized that we had left our keys... WAHHH. So we had to sit outside, in the cold, for an hour and a half. We ended up paying a taxi to go pick them up for us... it cost us $5.
 Found the BIGGEST stuffed bear.
 WAHHH. We left our keys in Sacaba (30min from our house) and got locked out of our house for an hour and a half at 10 at night. The worst.
 Compi and I. 
 Waiting for our INV. 
 Lots of waiting.
  I looked like a testigo (JW) all day. 
 Waiting for our compis in a random guys house. 
I found the cutest puppy.
 We helped decorate for her Birthday.

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! ...
