Hello family and friends!
This week had its ups and downs but we are hoping this coming week will be awesome!
Last P Day we went to the feria (street market) along the beach,
kinda like a boardwalk! We got some cool souvenirs and stuff and at the
end they had churros filled with manjar and strawberry slushies! It was
awesome!
This week we visited a member named Irma and her old mother with
Alzheimer's, Blanca. We sang with them and shared a scripture, and
Blanca just kept saying every 5 minutes, "You two are so pretty! You can
come back anytime. Come back soon! Dont make me go and find you!" Haha
she is adorable.
ITs funny, every time we meet someone who's not so nice after a
contact, we just continue walking along, with a smile on our faces, and
say, "Well she was nice." :) It helps lighten our spirits and keep us
upbeat.
Oh guess what!!!! Somebody thought I was Chilean the other day.
They were so surprised when they heard I was from Colorado. Isnt that
awesome?!
I love it here when we go knocking out doors, and a
lot of people are like "What do you want? Go away." But then there are
always the select few (HP quote) that immediately come outside with the
keys to the gate and before we can even say anything, they say, " Come
in!" Its awesome.
We are teaching Hermana Sonia english!!! She is the most adorable little ewok. Seriously our little Chilean mother.
By the way, I hit my 6 month mark this past Wednesday! Which means that Justyna just hit her year mark...insane!
I finished reading the Book of Mormon! I have never read it with
so much excitement and love before. The Book of Mormon is amazing and I
cant wait to read it again. If there is any of you out there who havent
read it, READ IT! It will change your life.
Oh! So fun story. I got super sick this week! (Hermana Hanks too) I
couldnt even leave the apartment for 2 whole days cuz I was literally
dying in my bed. I was coughing and weezing (Pokemon anyone?) and trying
to sleep, but I couldnt even breathe. After church on Sunday, though,
Milo and one of our ward missionaries, Pablo, gave me and Hermana Hanks a
blessing. Lemme tell you, the Priesthood is awesome! And I am so
grateful for it. Because that afternoon I felt LOADS better. And I know
it was because of the blessing. Wow. I am so impressed.
While I was sick tho, we visited this old man named Hermano Ravé,
and while Hermana Hanks and the member that came with us was cleaning
his kitchen, I swept the floor and fixed his DVD player and put on some
spanish hymns for everyone to listen to. After that I sat on the couch,
and fell asleep to the sound of Hermano Ravé trying to sing with the
music (so adorable!). I love that guy. Hes the cutest little old man
ever.
We visited a menos activo (less active) name Alejandra, and her
husband is super against our church, so we were going down the hill to
visit her, and we see her husband leaving through the gate, so Hermana
Hanks turns around and says, "Go go go!" So we turn around and sprint
back up the hill and wait for the husband to leave. 10 minutes later we
visit Alejandra and she was so happy to see us. :) I loved it.
