Got mcflurries from Tottus
May 4, 2015
WOOT! Hit my 6 months
today, in some ways it doesn’t feel real, and in others it has literally been
an eternity. But, still loving the mish and grateful for the chance to
serve.
This week was great... some
highlights...
Got peed on by a dog in a
lesson.... so nasty, and it was my favorite pair of shoes.
Got electrocuted by my
shower and it blew out the thingy... reminded me of the Micheal Vey books....
ouch. I cried.
TAYLOR SWIFT made it to
Peru.... Blank Space came on in the calle and I just about died, especially
knowing I am the only one who understands here... haha kind of regretting
memorizing her album before I left.
Ate a bowl of cocoa puffs
with REAL MILK and crepes... LOVE MY PENSTIONISTA.
But things are going great
here. We walk more than I ever have in my mission, and I’ve seen more poverty
and also more people with money than I have before in my mission. We teach in a
part called Nuevo Reque and its SUPER humble... kids going the bathroom in the
street, dogs, no chairs, dirt, dirt and dirt. Love it and have been so humbled
by being able to teach there. But we have found some great people to teach and
are working on helping them progress.
Our ward is awesome and we
had a noche misional which was super fun and lots of investigators came. I love
the members here lots and realize how great it is to BE ABLE TO TALK WITH THEM.
Definitely have felt the power of the gift of tongues to realize how much
better I can speak and understand to help these people. But I’m stoked to work
here.
We have a lady named Juana
who has attended forever but her spouse doesn’t want her to be baptized...
working on that. But we visited her with the bishop and she just cried as she
talked about her desire to follow Christ. Love it.
We helped another hermana
do visiting teaching and visited a couple of 96 and 94... so precious. They
couldn’t hear much, but it was so sweet to see their dedication to the Lord.
Besides
that this week was pretty normal, still pretty lost, but working harder than I
ever have before... but its so rewarding. Knowing that this is the work of
salvation and the opportunity to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord has
blessed me so much. Stoked for another year of it.
Love you all!

my penstionista cutting open the package
Opening my package with the son of my pensionsita haha... THANK YOU FAM.
Ate all of the sugar and felt like crap, but I had to before the ants got to it...
I'm SO TIRED!
