1-- and she´s clean! she had to do it twice cuz she
had a bracelet on... i didn´t know that was a thing, but she got
baptized twice.
2-- eating fruit goo for the
14th time in a row for dinner. I´m so happy we´re not eating with our
dinner pension anymore. (mazamorra is the name of the fruit goo. it´s
the worst.)
1--
Emily was baptized. It was the least stressful baptism of my mission.
Even though they showed up an hour late(normal) and the speakers didn´t
show up. A family is coming back to church! An entire family. It all
started with Martin´s example. he is sharing the gospel again, and got
to baptize his daughter.... He has a store on the corner, and we noticed
that he stopped selling beer. He switched out his crystal beer table
for a coca cola one. I can´t express all my love for this family. It´s
just too full. His wife FINALLY came to church. We just met her this
week. We are having a family night with them tonight.
2-- We found VANESSA!!! Remember her? Wel, we were
supposed to go see another lady that lives in her house, but it was late
and they live in the sketchy part of town, so we almost didn´t go. then
hna. purse said "remember how you said that when we don´t want to do
something, it means a miracle is about to happen? well, maybe we should
go. Vanessa might be there." So we went, and she was there. and she is
looking for answers. She wants it more this time. Time is what she
needed. Good things will come, I know it.
3-- My Bday package got here from down under. and it was perfect. I have the best friend in the world.
4--
We have been SO sick ever since we got to Puno, largely due to our
Breakfast/Dinner pension. (we have a different pension for lunch, and
she is amazing). We decided to make our own food instead. MAC AND
CHEESE! and real food, not just bread, hot chocolate, and fruit goo.
5-- I feel like, as of late, I have been working
more effectively because I am more focused. I had a lot of things
distracting me back home, but I´ve mentally, and literally, cut myself
off from those things, and things are going so much better. School,
work, and the future can wait 4 more months.
6-- I went to a dance concert. our stake YSA put it
on, and it was so fun. I miss dancing so much and never want to give it
up again. They were dances from all over the world. The bolivian ones
were my favorite.
7-- We are primary teachers for the 8-11 year olds.
They are so reverent. It´s a joke really, that we´re teaching them.
We´re in the Old Testament. Joshua and Gideon to be exact......... I had
no idea who they were before we taught those lessons. We studied, but
when we got in the lesson I was like "sooo... Gideon. He was a prophet.
and he had an army who drank water out of a river. and then there were
300..... who wants to play simon(GIdeon) says??? (for 20 minutes)"
YEah... I need to study the Old Testament more.
8-- random
my back has been hurting a lot. i miss the chiropractor. this is a conversation that happened.
me-- I need to marry a chiropractor.
hna. purse-- I need to marry a glassblower
me-- haha whaT? why?
hna. purse-- have you ever seen blown glass? it´s so cool.
walking down a creepy street at night with lots of drunk guys.
me-- we look ugly on purpose. it´s a safety precaution.
It´s been such a good week and I feel really good about these last months. I LOVE being here.
1-- playing piano in the pension
