Week 50: Birthday And My First Baby

Image
Ok wow what a crazy week!!  Lets start with tuesday: ok so I was put in a temporary trio with hermanas Wright and Braatz and we worked in perico and it was so fun! We had lunch with a member and her very and I mean VERY Catholic mother. It was so funny because it was a holdiay celebrating a one of their Saints and we had lots of questions and her house is full of crazy Catholic things but right in the middle of it all there was a picture of Jospeh smith even she said she was a crazy Catholic and that even with her " Ejército de santos" we are always welcomed in her house. She was super sweet and we had an awesome conversation with her and it was super cool to learn more about the catholic church.  Wednesday: we left super early in the morning to travel to Chijra about 40 minutes away from Perico and we worked there all day.  Thursday: MY BIRTHDAY!!! ( thanks all of yoh who sent me birthday wishes )  I was sick jajaja I had a bad stomach ache and had to travel 3 hours...

Wow ok time is flying but to start off the email I will share the transfer news and that is i am pregnant jajaj in other words I will be training a brand new missionary. I am actually excited because i'll be staying here in Perico for another transfer but their dividing the area.  Ok so last Monday we went to Purmamarca and saw the hills of 7 colors and wow it was breathtaking. The whole ride up there I was in awe and when we arrived I was speechless it is so beautiful and it looked like we were in a painting. We took lots and lots of pictures but pictures dont do or justice at all I want to returnna so bad. We live in such a beautiful word. The whole time I was in Purmamarca I was literally in so much awe of how incredible god and Jesus christ are. We are so blessed to live in a world full of incredible creations. Literally to this day a week later I am shocked at how beautiful it was.  This week was super slow but pretty good. We are teaching some new people with potential s...

Week 48: Every Day Struggles

Back with another update!! I want to start off by saying how much I love the mission. Its honestly so great even though its challenging but I am loving it so much!!! This week was actually so slow jajaja but really good.  During one of our lunches literally everyone was roasting me because I always eat the most like 2-3 plates of food and I always pause and go " oh bueno un poquito más " after every plate when they offer me more. And they kept roasting me about it and to make it worse we were on exchanges and my past companion Hermana Braatz is my stl and she just added fire to the flame so that was fun. But I havent laughed so hard in a while so it was good.  Thursday literally almost peeded my pants in the street because I had to go to the bathroom so bad and we were at a 30 minute walking distance from our apartment and the church and no one was answering the door I literally couldnt walk and Hermana Souza kept making me laugh I thought I was dying but... I survived becaus...

Week 47: Rain And Blessings From A Fast

Image
Tuesday: started off super hot and then out of no where it dumped on us. Rain like I've never seen before dumping buckets. In seconds the streets were rivers and we were soaking wet. We continued on with the work but realized quickly we couldnt do much because the streets where up to our calves in water and lightning started and we had the impression to return home so we did, thinking we could make some phone calls but we lost signal then we lost our water but without signal we couldnt work our phone was literally useless jajaja we were only home and hour early so it wasnt to bad but the funny thing is we couldnt notify our DL that we were home and by the time we asked our nieghbors for their WiFi it was almost 10:00 ( an hour late ) we had a ton of missed calls from our DL, ZLs, HL, APs and our mission President pretty sure they thought we had died or something. We didnt have signal in our phone until Firday so we had to trek to the church every morning to plan and we didnt have o...
