Week 30/76 Vale La Pena

Hey guys! Not much happened this week. Its starting to get cold and we are pulling out the sweaters. 

I found 2 dollars and a marble on the side of a hill, hiking to visit someones house. And we got the best teriaki bowl things for lunch one day! 

Our friend Damian was baptized yesterday and I don't think I've ever seen anyone happier! I love the happiness that the gospel brings and it is amazing to watch someone change their life and have the light of christ in their life! We did have to emtpy cold, dirty, 2 week old water out of the font with buckets, but vale la pena! (Worth it). 

Our ward is really small here, but there are 7 missionaries because I'm in a trio and there are 4 oficinistas right now. 
We had empanadas for Easter lunch and it was a totally different vibe, for my first Easter away from home it really just felt like another day. What was really whack was that for good friday the streets were empty! 

One member recently returned from the US and she shared some american candy with us! She brought it out in a target bag!! And we ate reese's and kisses and whoppers, and milky way. And it didn’t realize how much I missed american candy until we were eating it! 

We also saw the cutest baby kittens! 

It was a week full of tender mercies, I know this is the work of God, that He has a plan for all of us, and we can always find the joy in the little things along the way! 

Also this transfer was super rápido!! We will find out transfer news this week!! 

Love you guys! Have a great week! Tell me what you did for Easter!

Week 75/76 White And Ready To Harvest

I had the opportunity to teach about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon in english for the first time this week!  I asked them if they assist another church, when I was trying to ask if they attend another church and a few other spanish words slipped in, but it went well and they agreed to read 3rd Nephi!   We had 2 intercambios this week. With hermana Toro and hermana Guevara. I always learn so much and enjoy getting to know the hermanas!  We also laugh a bunch and become good friends!  We picked golden berries and had fresh golden berry juice for lunch. We also ate some pastries like the ones from Brave and Hermana Ortiz told me that in spanish they don't have a scottish accent. We had probably the worst lunch of my mission this week. Cold tuna with cheese and onions on top. I didn't mind seafood before, but that was asqueroso!  On Thursday we were waiting for people to show up to english class (no one did) I decided to check my email, and was surprised to...

Week 12/76 Milagros Y Un Nuevo Mes

This week was so crazy, but first off thank you everyone who sends me emails. I love reading about your lives and hearing from you!  Other than that it's been adventurous.  We know this member and we visit him all the time. He's 95 years old and he's so cute. His daughter is at his house to help him and we just go talk to them and she always gives us so much food. She's so nice and we just love visiting with them. We visit these other members, Dora and Marisol, all the time. Marisol is blind but they're always super sweet and they always help me with my Spanish. I'm so grateful for all the members here.  On Wednesday we had a crazy thing happen. There was a drunk guy in his car and he was trying to talk to us and then we were like 'okay here's our pamphlet' and he was like 'get in my car come with me'. So we are trying to get away and we get in  another car with this couple and we thought they were going to drive us away but then they got out...
