This week....
we went to a man made lake and chilled it eating churripan... look it up. its awesome. Its like their version of sausage here. hahaha And we taught a little girl who is 9. but she ended up rejecting us because she said that she doesnt want to be Mormon right now... she wants to be a Nun.... okaaaay... hahahaha
we had a really intense District meeting... these elders are like super serious right now... my comp and i are the only hnas in our district... but we're going to shake it up a bit. hahaha We taught a lot of people about the new idea for Christmas.. and what can we give our Savior. I love this plan because really everyone is so depressed about all the bad in the world, and teaching them how to shine forth so that the light of Christ can iluminate the world, its opening doors for us. Its opening hearts. Because everyone NEEDS more light in their lives.
Miercoles, I NOW HAVE 14 MONTHS IN THE MISSION:.. I really really didnt think Id survive until this day. hahahaha but wow.... I dont even want to think about that. hahahaha We also had interviews with Presidente, and wow... sometimes I just love him to death. he always reads my mind. And literally we always leave the interview laughing up a storm and talking about something that is not related to the gospel at all.. .how bad. hahaha no but this interview was powerful. I felt the spirit so strong! He left me thinking... and he told me, that in every conversation, in everyones lives we should always leave them something to remember. Something to leave them thinking. Well he did that for me.
We taught Isabel this week. We havent been able to find her.... she told us that she wants to know if this church is true... that she needs to know. Shes desperately looking for the plan that God has for her and her family... well its right here. :D I love that we can be messengers of glad tidings.
and We also entered a house this week.. that wow... We entered and two abuelitas answered the door and invited us in... we sat down. I sat down in a chair that was falling apart and full of pee. Yeah... and the abuelita at my side asked me for my socks.... I wasnt wearing any.... and then she asked me to bring size 36 in socks the next time... I told her Id try. hahahah and well they were a interesting pair of sisters. But sitting far back was the step son of one of them.. Hector... He has only one eye... and is like 50. He was listening to our every word.... and for that, Ill sit in pee again, ill enter a house falling apart full of people that dont want us there as long as theres one person waiting for us. We're coming back to that house.
We went to visit Liliana, and we ended up teaching 7 people in her house. It was awesome. Theyre hard ones but itll work out. She wants so bad for her family to join her in the church. We're preparing them, they just dont know it yet. hahaha
And we had Stake Conference this Sunday... wow.... REVELATION! hahaha
We didnt have an inv. there but wow.. it was full. We spent the morning looking for people and trying to not get soaking wet sharing an umbrella... until we saw a taxi driver pushing his car.. so we offered to help. He was with his two small kids. We helped pushed his car, running to jumpstart in rainboots and skirts. and off he went, really grateful. and we were SOAKED. we arrived just in time for church, like drowned cats. all the missionaries were teasing us, but they dont know. hahaha It was a much happier sunday starting out helping others. hahaha
and something I loved from Conf.
Doctrine and Covenants 68:6...
Be of Good Cheer is not only counsel, its a commandment. :D
LOVE YOU ALL
Hna B.
P.s. For thanksgiving... we ate CAKE! hahaha a member brought it out, and we asked why.. and she said that she didnt know why she bought it but felt like she needed to. THey normally give us fruit to eat... its because God listens to the prays of one burnt, blonde missionary. hahaha
