1. Doing
some service before it hardcore rained.
2. Cool flower
we found growing in someone’s garden in an apartment complex.
3. A family
in the ward. Jonathan (left side) wants to make us picture frames, but he
needs a picture to put in it. We wanted a picture with their family. They are
great!
4. I SAW THE
OCEAN!!! It is very beautiful and I wanted to cry. Now that everything is green
it is quite pretty - lots of hills, mountains and lakes. I don't see this stuff
in my area because I'm in a city.
5. Happy
Daddies Day! Last year we were climbing rocks in the middle of nowhere in Utah.
This year I was climbing stairs in the middle of Mexico. I must admit I miss
climbing rocks, but stairs with suffice for now.
This week we
had an appointment to have lunch with a sister at 2pm. We were running late, so
I called to let her know we would be there at 3pm instead. I can’t pronounce my
three’s, (they sound like six’s) so she didn’t expect us to come until 6pm.
Luckily, she’s really nice and didn’t mind. We just had to wait a little bit.
We have an army of cockroaches in our house. My
companion hates them SO much! When she sees one, she grabs a broom and runs
around the house trying to kill it. It’s kind of humorous. The other day we
were kneeling on the floor, saying our prayers and I heard a noise like a giant
bug walking. I opened my eyes and there was nothing there. I felt like I was in
a horror movie, but continued with the prayer. I heard it again, opened my eyes
and saw a giant cockroach! It was jumping from the wall to the table closer to
me. I grabbed a broom to kill it and it jumped at me to eat my face!!! We kind
of had a girly freak out moment, trying to kill the nasty thing. And they smell
sooooo bad. Ew.
Our power went out this week. We never received
the power bill. We planned and did everything in the dark. I was so grateful I
had my little first aid kit with the flashlight, because that was the only
light we had. Sleeping is AWFUL because we don’t have a fan. :( I woke up at least
a million times. Last night I thought for sure I was going to die and I moved
to sleep on the cement floor instead. After a few minutes of thinking about all
the bugs that are on the ground, I decided I would rather die of heat than die
by the lizard eating ants and cockroaches. lol
We had
cambios this week with the sister training leaders. They see how everything is
going and tell you what you need to improve on. I was so nervous because I
stayed in my area and one of the leaders came with me. This was my first time
directing the area. It was actually good and I learned a lot. I enjoyed it
because I got to talk an equal amount during the lessons and I learned a ton. I
learn a lot more Spanish when I get the chance to speak it. lol I think that
learning to live, get along, and work with someone 24-7 is one of the hardest parts
of the mission.
