Hola a todos!
I don't have very
much time because I sent pics and i'm taking the time to respond to some emails
this week.
But here's some
updates/stories::
We served on Saturday
by cleaning the whole church like deep cleaning it. Yay for Mormon Helping
Hands. :) And I finally got a vest!! Woot! :) (Also I wore jeans/tennies for my
first time in almost 14 months... lets just say I was walking like a grown man
trying on high heels for the first time in his life.)
We have continued
teaching the 21 year old twins, one is named Luis who is progressing really
fast!! He told us ''A year ago I just felt like giving up coffee. It was giving
me headaches and so I just gave it up completely.'' UM YEAH. Super prepared!!
So cool and he came to church! :) Miracles upon miracles.
It is FLOODED here
in San Pedro!! It's calmed down today because sewage has cleared up a bunch but
it has downpoured so we were stuck inside/inside other houses a lot this week.
But thankfully not for very long, and thankfully my companion knows how to make
some good hot chocolate. :)
That being said,
the ground is very slick and my shoes (the ones I have used my ENTIRE mission)
are pretty worn out so the bottom part is also slick... I have had some fun
falls this week. One time we were leaving with a member and I slipped almost
into the splits on this one sidewalk, and I stood up, twirled really fast, and
said I was just dancing. It was a good member/missionary bonding moment because
we died laughing. Let's just say I am already a klutz as it is, so the slippery
ground / water up to our knees almost doesn't exactly help the problem.
This morning I was
walking down the stairs and slipped!! I fell down almost a whole flight of
stairs. The miracle is that I don't even hurt and it was a badddd fall. I
seriously believe in protecting angels for missionaries... no joke!!
About two days ago
my companion woke up screaming at 6 in the morning and ran out of bed and
turned on the light. I seriously think she is a champ at making my heart almost
fail. I'm serious. But she yelled, ''LOOK AT IT!!'' A HUGE COCKROACH was on her
bed!! It had been on her neck and woke her up. What a blessing. At least we
survived. :)
I love you all and
sorry for the lack of updates but it's almost transfers!! Ah. I am praying I
stay in San Pedro!!! I love you all and thanks for all of your support and
prayers.
Hurrah for Israel!
:)
