Haha.... I caved. I can't. Its so hot and muggy
and it didn't even matter... I chopped my hair off! Haha... like literally with
my two sole scissors in the bathroom of our cuarto... but, I like it and I
don't sweat to death anymore!
This week has been awesome.
Hard, but awesome. Not sure how it works, but the weeks just get better and
better, even if it is harder and harder at the same time.
Fun things, we got locked
on a roof with a crazy man yelling about something,.. and I could not stop
laughing... we called our investigator to come open the door...so that
was fun! Also, for Carnival all of the boys throw water balloons at girls and
vice versa for like a month. So we've had a total of 3 balloons pelt us this
week, but it feels so great!
Also this week, we had the
grand opportunity to eat CUY! Guinea pig... haha, after I got past the idea of
all the pet ones we've had, It was really good.. definitely a fan! Our
investigator that fed us has a farm, so she was really good at cooking it, so
yummy! Also today we went to the Chacra (small fruit or other farm) and it was
such a blast. We skipped rocks in a river and just chilled... love the Peruvian
life style. They just sit, talk, stare.. not really sure, but it sure makes
teaching lessons and contacts easier haha.
A few people we are
teaching are really looking good. We have a less active grandma who has a
granddaughter that lives with her that we are teaching, and I'm really excited about
the grandma, Gladys, and granddaughter, Paola, are super nice and we've had
some awesome lessons and a date to baptize her Paola. Haha but every time we go
she is ALWAYS having a party or friends.. kind of reminds me of someone I
know But
It has been cool to share my testimony and the gospel with her and they loved
church yesterday.... so we'll see.
Also Hermana Deysi is doing
well and we met with her and her husband to talk about baptism and marriage. I
really hope her "husband" and her get married because Deysi has
seriously made a 180 since I met her, and wants to change her life so
much.
Our family Espinosa, the
one from the cake with the runaway daughter is doing well tambien. The hardest
thing is helping people realize that without action, nothing can happen. We
can't only believe in God, we have to do stuff.. like read and come to church.
But they seriously feed us spinach eggs/tortillas every time, so they are my
favorite haha...
We had to TRACT a couple
times this week because so many people are on vacations and citas fall through,
all I can say is I'm glad I'm not serving in a mission where that is the
majority of the day... hard stuff.
I really learned that it is
our faith and attitude that make all of the difference. On the harder days, I
just remember whose work it is and it makes it easier. That, and frozen
chocolate milk (chicola) helps the days work out. All we need is faith that
leads us to action. Action to do the little things, try to better ourselves,
etc.
I sure am grateful for the
atonement and opportunity to become better, because holy cow I have a long ways
to go as a missionary, and some days just feel like I'm not doing a very good
job here, but then I remember it doesn't matter, because all the Savior asks is
immediate progression and for us to try, not immediate perfection.
Love you all and hope you
have a great week!
