Week 48/76 Rainstorms, Scorpions, And Smoke Alarms, Oh My

In honor of back to school season we played a get to know game in our zone council, turns out we have missionaries from 7 different countries in our zone! 

I have a new fear of walking around in the dark after we spotted scorpions on our way to a lesson one night! 

I didn't realize that part of training a new missionary would include microwave training. In her defense, she's never had a microwave before and the microwave we have is a little tricky. 
The good news is that our smoke detector works. She accidently put her bread in the microwave for 7 minutes! We opened all the windows and got some fresh air, it was actually pouring rain, but it was fresh nonetheless!

The rain didn't stop. Remember that waterfall I visited a couple weeks ago, well they are worried it's going to flood Yungay, but so far so good. 

We played window washers this week for a service project, and for some reason window washing makes me think of Wallace and Gromet. Just a fun fact. 

We got a call from an unknown number one night, we thought maybe it was a person we met in the bus, so we called back the next day. Turns out it was an abuelo that we met 2 weeks ago, he said he read the pamphlet we left with him, he saw our number on the back, and wanted to call so we could be in contact! 

Our friend Javier is highly considering accepting a baptism date, and he'll be back in Yungay this week, so keep him in your prayers! 

We got a wifi router installed in our house this week, so now the work is really moving!

On Saturday I hit 11 months in the mission. I've seen a lot, and lived even more, and it is so worth every second! 

I love you all! I hope you have an amazing week!

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...
