HOLA!!!
This week went really well! I had so much I wanted to share, so I wrote
it down in my mini notebook, but left it in my other bolsa, so I don´t have it.
But I'll try to remember..
So Tuesday was fantastic!! We´ve had a who knows what... smaller than an
iguana, but bigger than a lizard hanging around out place since I moved in, possibly
longer. But Tuesday was the day we caught it. Good thing I´m not the mama of my
companionship with Hna Castillo, because I didn´t want anything to do with it.
At first it was just in our back living quarters by our washing station, but
then it got inside our house... Gross. It found its way under the fridge, so I
stood on top of our counter and moved the fridge. Anyways, long story short,
Hna Castillo saved the day and caught it in an old box. Then we put our water
jug on top of it. We couldn´t do anything with it at the time since we had to
leave for an appt and such. We had a sleepover with it that night and discarded
it the next morning into our garbage. (Still in the box of course) I just
wonder if the garbage guys realized there was an animal in there... hmm...
Don´t you worry though, when I get back I have videos of Hna Castillo trying to
catching it :) And a picture with us around the box as if I had something to do
with the capture of our pet/friend/ #notevenclosetobeingmyfriend
In the past 4 weeks that I have been here, I have been given 2 bracelets,
a set of earrings, a ring, and a flower from one of our investigators.
Our investigators struggle really hard making it to church. It doesn't
help that it takes about 15-20 min to walk there. So yesterday we picked up
(walked) to one of our investigators, 15 mins to his house.. speed walking to
the max, and fasting lol, then to the church. We had a great time walking.
I was able to bare my testimony in church yesterday; that was a good time.
Es verdad! I felt good about it. By the time church was over though, I wanted
to cry. People talk to me and I have no clue what is being said! Because of
this I tell my comp that she needs to talk to me all the time... I'm not sure
what it is though, I can always understand her, and other people it goes right
over my head (most times). Still learning patience.
Vero Flores (mother of the kids that gave me a bracelet last week) is great.
She hasn't accepted a baptismal date, but she is ready for the gospel. I asked
her if she felt the Spirit during the lesson, and she did, I was able to bare
testimony, and she was almost in tears... that felt good... in a good way I
promise!! She still wants to think about it, so we invited her to pray about it
like Joseph Smith, to know the truth, and explained that she would feel similar
feelings from the Spirit that our message was true, and that the gospel has
been restored again.
She also has a few birds… one is named Remi. He is awesome. I got a picture
with him :) lol
We went to an area this week that took 45 mins to get to. And we were walking
pretty fast. Gosh was I tired. It was in the heat of the day too!! We only were
able to have one lesson too that day. And set another appt for an investigator.
I had never been there before. I think it would be good if we went at least
once a week. People need the gospel there too! We're working on it!
We gave a picture of the Guadalajara temple to a less active family yesterday,
with our testimonies on the back. They talk to me, and really want me to
understand, so they explain things to me! That helps me love them :) The
parents struggle with tobacco, but have a desire to enter into the temple. So
we are working with them. Cristi.. mama is doing well, and has attended the
temple 3 weeks in a row! She is the one that gave us a pair of earrings, and as
well the other bracelet. Her husband David gave us 2 avocados last Sunday
since he working in an avocado vineyard and I have expressed my love for
avocado. Anyways, we received 3 more this week :) YUM! I hope they can overcome
their struggles and make it to the temple together. David is really nice, but
works on Sundays, so he doesn't get the extra boost on Sundays :( He made
the joke about me marrying his son yesterday... in front of him.. awksss!! ha
My comp tried pb with banana on a tortilla.. and liked it :) She says she
has never tried such weird things with food before haaha. I attempted black
bean brownies..without baking them last night.. Fail! I hated it, but she liked
it with milk, so all to her :)
Think that is good for now! Now let’s hope that this computer will let
me send some pictures today!
Con mucho amor, siempre! Su misionera favorita! <3<3<3<3
