Also speaking of partying.... so there was a ward party this week! woohoo for ward parties. So we were told to come ready with games to play with the primary... except it turned out to be more like a talent show haha and we ended up being the entertainment. Let me explain... so the nice spiritual message turned into this primary girl doing this dance... and Hna Christian and I start dancing in the back... haha and the Bishop saw us and thought it was hilarious... so the next ´act´ for the talent show the Bishop and all the members were begging us to dance.... haha can´t disappoint the members, right? If that doesn´t strengthen relationships with the member, I don´t know what will! :) Also more people talked to me after that than ever have before, success!!!
Anyway, for some reason my companions thought it would be a good
idea if I was in charge of directions for this week. hmmm... hey
remember the first time I drove a car and I didn´t know how to get to
Bountiful High... yeah.... so we´ve been lost a lot this week. haha But
I have learned a lot. You can´t win them all...
Anywho enough with that! Maria has been
making the goals we set for cutting back smoking, so we set new goals!
wooohooo! She is so great! She has a niece and a nephew that come to the
lessons we have with her and it is just so cool to talk about a topic
and explain how it can apply to each person individually! This gospel is
for everyone and has the power to change-heal everyone! We also played
soccer with her little 7 year old nephew... OK I´m pretty awful at
soccer in the first place, now add a skirt and missionary shoes...hmmmm!
That is a pretty picture! haha I was on the ´SPAIN´ team... pretty
sure we won...
We had lots of yummy food this
week :) I still wonder what Spanish food is like... because I feel like
everything we eat is not Spanish: Peruvian, Armenian, and Chinese this
week! Funny thing about the Chinese- we were talking about the Mandarin restaurant
that very day, and we show up to an appointment and he had made Chinese!
:) haha miracles happen I am telling you! Also I am pleased to report
that everything we ate was stupendously good! including stuffed peppers-
stuffed with like this meatloafy goodness, and these seasoned chicken
legs. yummmmm. hey we also had American food!! the Day of transfer calls
we went to this cute little old fashioned diner and had good old
hamburgers!
Cesar is a rockstar... haha he is the funniest person! Dang
sometimes our lessons with him go on the most random tangents because he
has so many random questions... but I really just love him so much. It
is crazy to think that 6 weeks ago when I came here I didn´t know any of
our investigators and members and now I just love them so much and have
such a strong relationship even though I can´t really speak Spanish.
I really am so glad I am staying, I couldn´t imagine starting over
when I feel like we just barely begun! It really is a miracle to have
the opportunity to teach the people we are teaching. I am learning from
them and it is amazing to see the change the gospel can bring in their
lives. My comps and i were talking about what we like doing the most as a
missionary... ´Telling people why we are so happy!´
I love you all!!! Have a great week, and don´t party too hard! :)
