Holy cow... the weeks just seem to be flying by faster and faster!!
Not too many things happened this week, but it was good and I`m happy and well!!
Monday: we went to Pîzza Raul for lunch with the zone! so yummy!! That night, we had a noche de hogar (FHE) with the Familia Cardinas. Hno. Miguel and Royer brought food to share and we watched a bible movie on our tiny portable dvd player! So fun! Haha.
Tuesday: we worked really hard and did some divisions in the evening. I went with Hermana Ida and we encountered this man who didn`t believe in Religion, let alone God. HAha. I talked to him for about a half an hour and tried to answer all his crazy questions to the best of my abilities... haha. In the end, I just told him that I respected his decision to not believe in god and that the doors to our church were always open for him.. Haha. It was quite the experience.
Wednesday: In the morning, we did service for our Recent Convert Maria.. She is in lots of trouble, finacially.... we went and helped her with her laundry. She had 3 large large piles of laundry--- and no soap... We went and bought some soap and then spent 2 hours washing rinsing and hanging her clothes by hand and we didn't even finish half! Lots of hard work, but we know it really helped her out. It really makes me appreciate washing and drying machines!
Thursday: We had a work visit with the Hermanas Capaciatadores (Sister Training Leaders) I went with Hermana Ebert to her area! We taught a bunch of families, and I could feel my progress since the first time we had a work visit. We taught this Menos Activo family in this hill. They had 3 boys and it reminded me of me and my sisters :) So sweet! Haha
Friday: we woke up REALLY early to go climb that hill with that family (remember that hill from last time?? So large... hahahaha) This time it was a lot easier! Haha. Well... That family needed a lot of hjelp... They`ve been married and baptized for like, a week... and they were in a huge fight... We talked to them for a really really long time to help resolve their problems. I told them that I know marriage is not easy... Well... I don`t know exactly because I`m not married.. hehe. But something cool I`ve noticed about marriage or seen is that it takes 2 people who are very different, and has them work together to solve their problems, even though it`s tough. I told them how we as companions have compànionship inventory every week to talk about things that may be difficult in our companionship and encouraged them to do a marriage inventory! Haha. They liked that idea!!
That afternoon for lunch, we went to a members home and had fried yucca for a starter.... So good!! Haha
That evening, we had a work visit in our area (back with my companion) with uor zone leader and district leader! Crazy...
We ended the night with pizza to celebrating my companion completing 18 months! Crazy!! Haha
Saturday: We taught a reference named Thalia. Wow. She is so prepared!! She really has a desire to learn more about the gospel and wants to be baptized! So cool! haha. We also had a girl from comas come and visit (she`s friends with hermana Sosa) and that was fun! She`s nice and putting her papers in for her mission!
That night, we visited Andrea (our recent convert) and her little brother Benjamin took my planner- He then fell asleep with it clutched to his chest! It was so cute!! Future Missionary!! Haha
Sunday; My companion went with Hermana Jeni to comas to go say goodbye to her area over there and I had divisions all day! I started at 6;30 with Rosamia Tomanguillo, the recently returned missionary! We talked and studied together and then went to Stake Conference! The stake conference was so good! Lots of good, powerful talks! President and hermana Erickson (Mission pres.) were there and gave talks too!
After the conference, we went to lunch at the familia Sanchez`s house (arroz con pollo with papa a la huancaina... so good!!) and I started my division with Angela (the daughter) We walked all over and I taught 6 lessons!! woot woot!! hahaha
We finished the night doing a Noche de Hogar with the familia sanchez and had hot chocolate and arroz con leche! Delicious!!
Welp family, today we`re going out to work because tomorrow we have this thing called MUDIAL! Its the mission-wide soccer tournament! Haha. It should be awesome and it`ll be fun to see the peeps from the CCM!
I hope all is well with you! I miss you like crazy cakes but I`m loving my time here! And guess what... I complete 4 months this week! Crazy crazy crazy!!
Also... it`s my last week with my companion, hermana sosa... ;( I`m sad because she`s leaving but happy she gets to go home! It`ll vbe interesting to see who my next victim... I mean companion will be ;)) Hehehe.
I will probably be on a little earlier than usual next week since my companion has a bunch of things to do with the President before she leaves!!
I hope all is well with you!! I love you guys and miss you!! Have a great week! Hug maizy and a cat for me!!
Love love love,
Hermana Kira Andrus!!
