To start out I would like to make a shout out to very special people in my life,
1.
Sarah Cope, Today we all know it is your special day, and to celebrate I
brought myself a big old salad and will be eating chocolate in honor
of you! Being away from you today is going to be difficult as we always
celebrate together, and go loco during march madness birthdays! I am
so extremely grateful for grandma for giving birth to you today and I am
so very grateful to follow the line of your daughter! I wouldn't take
my looks away for anything, because I look like my mom :) HAPPY
BIRTHDAY!!! go be spoiled! (hint family)
2. Leah Rebecca, I saw the pictures of the blessing and about lost
it... ok you caught me I lost it! what a beautiful baby girl dressed
in white! the first blessing and I can image it was heaven directed! I
would not have missed the moment for anything but this mission,
seriously she is an angel!
Alright lets just jump dive right into this week,
shall we! This week was just an average stale cookie.... you know, a
stale cookies isnt all that good, but you eat it anyways and when you
stumble upon the the chocoloate chips you are happy. even thought they
are still stale (hello its chocolate). Well that's about my week! we had
some good chocoloate of chip moments which I will be focusing on!
We taught our first English class (that we taught)
and we had a great turn out! Everyone gathered together and we sang I
am a child of god in English, I kept singing the words in Spanish... we
worked on pronunciation and after thinking I have had a fat tongue for 5
months because I cant roll my Rs I have decided I just have an american
tongue. None of the argentinos can say the th sound so turns out my
tongue is normal. Just slightly challenged! I love English class but I
often find myself saying English words with Spanish vowels. haha Isn't
learning languages fun! YES SIR!
Alright here is a story for you all, grab some
popcorn and a pepsi (ooo pepsi...) and enjoy. So Thursday night we
have a lesson set up with florencia and luis. These are investigators of
the hermanas that became ours when they abandoned their area and it was
melted into ours. Well we saw this wonderful couple in the super
market. since we didnt know them they came up to us and introduced
themselves. They are getting married this up coming week and have a baby
girl. GOLDENS! well my comp and I showed up for the lesson and were
welcomed in by a family friend. Here we are sitting around the table
the five of us, getting ready to dive into a prayer and in walks two
men. we introduced ourselves and they did as well, we were surprised to
find out they were two missionaries as well for the church enventista.
uhhhh this is strange? So it turns out they are enventistas... alll of
them and we are going to have a chat with some other missionaries...
my heart starts pounding... in walks another member of their
Church... then another... then another... then another.... alright my
heart stops as we know have Nine members of there congregation, two of
which are missionaries, and two of which are ex mormons... thats right
they invited ex mormons to our lesson! so pretty much we walked into
the biggest trap of all time! It was an interesting hour, but I would
like you to all know I played it cool while the inside of my body was on
a six flag rollercoaster... man those G"s are killer.... we came out
shocked, questioning what in the world just happened! I cant even
remember what we talked about as my mind was on panic mode, but all I
could do was laugh. And laugh I did, that's about all I could do! thanks
hermanas thanks! at one point we talked about why the sabath is on Sunday and not Saturday, one of them started questioning my english...
"what does sunday mean" -them
uhhhh SUN DAY" -me
"exactly everyday is a different planet except saturday right, because they created everything except on saturday making it the sabath." -them
(my companion chips in) "saturday is for saturn no? a planet"
.....you should have seen there faces... hahah they were so confused, hahah trying to out smart me with my own language.
oh and the worst part was, we forgot our bibles!!! haha
they have 12 bibles out on the table and we didnt bring one... oops.
haha BOOK OF MORMON POWER! Ok so that was our crazy story this week, to
ever more go down in history as the day we were once again preached to,
by a whole congregation... Now I feel like they have placed me as an
investigator category for their Church. yikers.
Thats about the gems of my week, Gabriela and diego
the juntados, want to be baptised! can you believe it! She mentioned
it and I practically fell of my chair with excitment! they still have
to get married, but they finally see the importance! their son will be
baptised in the next few weeks!!! :)
THANKS FOR THE PACKAGES! I will be opening them today in about an hour and I am stoked!!!
Love you to the luna and back! :)
