Okay, general email first since I kinda forgot
about that last week.
This week was funny. A great week too! Okay,
mostly yesterday was funny. It was election day. Weird day. Weird weird weird.
So Marìa Elena while coming down her stairs when we went to her house after not
finding anybody at all home all morning (So much walking, so much sun!), was
chanting, Keiko Keiko Keiko! Before she saw us, I responded, we don't vote! She
realized it was us and laughed. Our dueña (the same one who sat on a glass pane
the other day) was trying to fix her broom with a knife and dropped the knife.
I don't know how she manages to not hurt herself. She's such a funny lady. So
nice though. :)
Then we tried to go find a less active in
Primavera 2 (still caring for two areas here- way to keep me working President!
Well, she said she didn't have time because she was about to go vote (surprise
surprise) AND was making lunch. Okay. Well, then she got locked out of her
apartment, and locked in the gate. She was stuck. And couldn't do either. Part
of my five year old self (okay this is really mean) inside laughed a bit
thinking, well, that's what you get for saying no to the missionaries. But then
I actually felt really bad for her, and kinda concerned that her stove was on
inside her apartment. We passed by later and everything seemed fine.
We taught
Enrique. I guess Estefanìa isn't going to California this week because he said
she didn't clear it with him first. Haha. She'll get there though, I think...
Enrique was asking us if it's a sin to get remarried since he's divorced,
because his son was saying so (he's from a different church). So we had a bit
of explaining the purpose of God is giving us exaltation and how he needs to
get sealed for that to happen. But both us, his daughter, and his girlfriend
are all trying to get him to go to church. Just listen to the women in your
life! We have a a point. He's just an awkward person though, so it made a weird
day just a bit weirder. Then we had a lesson, and our pensionista came with us,
and then left in middle of the lesson, and RETURNED. I was so confused. It was
just an odd day. It made me happy.
We met the best member reference ever this
week. Karina! Marìa Elena contacted her in a park with Hermana Diana and we
passed by and did some major testifying. And she said she'll be baptized in May.
We also taught her later in the week lesson one, and she started reading the
Book of Mormon the second it was in her hands. We were sitting there like,
wait, keep listening to us! Okay, I guess you can read the prophets' words...
Uh... But we did manage to finish the lesson, and even though she had some
typical first lesson doubts, like Joseph Smith seeing God and Christ, she loved
it, and is excited to read and pray. :)
Hey, another weird thing. I had a dream last
night with President Uchtdorf and Elder Bednar. (They're my favorites.) Well,
Elder Bednar was giving sandwiches to some really hungry kids. And then the
hungry kids shared with some other kids who were literally starving. So random.
Then President Uchdorf (just remember this is just a dream, but it made me happy).
spoke, and he was saying the keeping a journal helps us triumph over trials. It
had some cool alliteration, and I woke up repeating that phrase in my brain.
Well, I must have written in my journal right before going to bed! :D
Aside from that, I've sung twice at zone things
this week. I think they have some obsession with my voice or something. I
really don't sing THAT well. And I'm not the only one who sings. My companion
sings too.
Okay, well, I don't know what end of the
mission reflections I maybe should add, so I'm just going to leave it as a
normal letter home. It's been a great week, and I'm working to the end! Have a
great week, love you all, see you in some days or weeks depending on who you
are. ;)
