This week has really been an
adventure. I feel like I have good health right now but there are a lot of
different things that passed that I have never experienced before. In the
mission it is a mini life so we are bound to experience a little of everything.
Last Monday we went to the
Central Market in zone 1. There are a lot of really cool typical things there
from here. We went with the Bishop's wife and she helped us to haggle the prices.
I am also good at haggling as well I discovered. I love being here - there really is so
much culture.

Zoo Fun |
Tuesday we started out with
a lot of service. We worked a lot with corn and land taking it of the stalk,
pulling it out of the ground, drying the corn and then talking the kernels off
of the husk. Everything was good until the black corn and then that was really hard so I
ended up getting a huge blister on my thumb. Later in the day we visited with
more members who asked us to visit them. We met with Grandma Cano who had a
hard time in chruch a few weeks ago and it was really amazing to hear her story
and learn more about her. Sometimes doing the smallest thing like listening is
one of the biggest services we can do.
Wednesday there was a relief
society activity which they have every week buy this week the relief society
President asked us to come because there are always non members there and she
wanted us to get to know them. They really are excited to know us and I am not
sure if they want to learn about the gospel but little by little they will
learn and progress. They do want to go and walk around the temple. The sisters
are planning a visit for them so that will be a great experience.
Part of My District |
Thursday we did a lot more
service. A lot of our lessons fell this week so we like to go and help members
when this happens and see if they have anyone for us to teach as well. We
mainly serve them though our love. That is how it should be. We also made
the folders for the primary program they had on Sunday. Something a little
strange is that every week we find a less active who isn´t registered in the
ward. This week we found 3 which was crazy. It is good to find out this
information though.
My Service Clothes and My New Hat |
Friday for the first time in
my life I had an allegic reaction. It was really weird and I have no clue what
I ate to have that happen. We also went to visit with a girl home from her
mission in Arizona. She wanted to talk to us and I was worried about her. Then
we found out she only wanted to give us shoes.
Saturday the other Hermanas
in our district had a wedding. They said they won´t plan another one for the
rest of their lives (missions). We helped them out a bit and it really was
crazy. It is cool to see what the members can help us pull together though. To
end the night we had a NDG with a new investigator. I am not sure where he came
from but he is reallly progressing. I am going to help him and his wife who is
a member form an eternal family. That is why I help the people here, so that they can have the gospel and recieve all the blessings Heavenly Father
has prepared for them and us.
I am grateful for all of
your support and I will write next week. Have a great week.
