Buenos
tardes!
This week has been so great! I can
really feel the love and prayers from everyone! literally some days I felt like
so happy and loved and I could just feel everyone rooting me on...so THANK
YOU.
Mom and dad your letters this
week....WOW. Definitely took notes and I am so grateful to have such amazing
parents, family, and friends. like literally I am so blessed. Sometimes I
really feel like I don’t deserve the blessings that I receive, but my family is
a blessing a hold dear to my heart!
Also, I’m officially a BYU Cougar!?
YIPEE. Hahah Thank you for everyone who has ever loved me. Like seriously my
heart is smiling.
This week we have seen milagros! Two
new investigators and a family with 9 children YIKES. HAHA I seriously love
being a missionary. Also ROSA´S HUSBAND CAME TO CHURCH! Cesar is the best
and basically loves the church just as much as Rosa, but loves wine....like
REALLY LOVES WINE. Its kind of sad because you can see that it has put stress
on there marriage (with money) but Cesar came to church and said he really
liked it and I have faith one day he will want to change! Also did I mention
their son, Alexis, has down syndrome and is like my best friend in the world.
He jumps up and down every time we come!
Also on Tuesday we went to Monteros
to help the Elders find new investigators and it was SO FUN. Like contacting in
an area that isn’t your own...idk...It is fun! hahah nerdy missionary
life.
So basically I feel like the ward
members are my family and the new converts and investigators are my best
friends. It’s just the greatest. Also weird that Hermana Piava is going home
after this week.....I cant even picture what it must feel like to go
home...super weird.
Oh so funny story.....we were
teaching this girl Rosana the first lesson and I had never met her before. On
this particular day my Spanish was kind of failing hahah I felt like I was
stumbling over my words and couldn’t remember anything. Weird. Anyway, when I
was teaching the first lesson it was just bad...and I can tell in her eyes she
was trying to understand...but couldn’t. Then after the lesson she was talking
with Hermana Piava about Brazil and then turns to me and says...”oh are you
from brazil too?” I replied, “Oh no I’m from California”....
Once I said I was from California she
had this huge smile on her face and starting giggling and giggling and was
saying “oh my gosh! A person from
the US is in my house. Heheheheheheh”
I felt like a movie star...also really awkward haha.
Another time I was on the bus talking
to this one guy and he asked where I was from then we continued our
conversation....blah blah blah. When it was his time to get off the bus he
yells for everyone to hear ¨ADIOS CALIFORNIA¨¨ Yep. everyone was staring at me
for a good long time. Also, people always always always say to me ¨HASTA LA
VISTA BABY¨HAHAHA I love it.
I CANT BELIEVE I ALMOST FORGOT! HAPPY
BIRTHDAY TO MY TWO LOVELY SIBLINGS LILLY ON HALLOWEEN AND ADAM ON NOV 1st! AH
YOU ARE SO OLD! LOVE YOU BOTH!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Sorry this letter is kind of lame
this week.....LOVE YOU ALL!
Be Brave
Little Champions-
Hasta la
vista baby
