So today we went to Incachaca!!!!
jk sadly we didn´t, other missionaries couldn´t get enough lessons with members to meet our goal, so we couldn´t go. We were sad . . . I still am sad.
Oh well!!! I ate two saltañas to make up for it.
Life in the Blocks is great! Just another week. We actually when to the mission home saturday to watch the woman´s conference and have one of our own. PRESIDENTE AND HERMANA HANSEN MADE US MEXICAN FOOD!!!! WE HAD LETTUCE! WE HAD REAL CHEESE! oh now i am sad thinking that i can´t have any for along time again . . . it was amazing and the talks were beautiful. This time i didn´t even get an inkling of homesickness listening to good ol´Hal. we also had really good cake. It was so good!! We were talking to some gringas and one said that she missed Taco bell. dude aim higher, it´s all about the zupas, Fiiz, Cafe rio and Cheesecake factory, or just clean water. Def not about the Taco Bell.
What else . . . i actually feel like i just talked to yall, this week flew by!!!
We invited 5 people to baptisms this week! One is Dana, she is the 11 year old. We did a lot of praying about this and with counsel from Pres Hansen we have a plan. She has a mommy, sort of, in the ward. If for every sunday until her baptism, last saturday in May, she gets picked up by her mommy, we will baptize her. We don´t want a child convert that doesnt ever go to church. The other day she actually asked us for a test on all of her panphlets. so yea, she is pretty golden.
Bryana Claros, our pensions daughter, was baptized satruday, Dana and two other of our investigators came, Lorey and Ian. It was a party! She´s been planning it for a year, no joke! it was frozen themed. There was aclown though, i don´t gt why people think they are funny, they aren´t, they are scary! Actually Bryana kicked him so yea that was funny!! We sat in the back with Lorey and ian and well after waiting for our lunch, since they are our pension, for an hour, we had to go! We had to be in the mission home at 3! So we bought saltañas for lunch! Ian and Lorey are 18 and 19, they live together and aren´t married, that´s actually like 70% of the people here. He is Chilean and i can´t understand him, but he knows english so it´s funny to hear him practice haha. They are great and understand a lot. WE have them the Law of Chasity pamphet and he said, chasity, oh i hate that word. So pray that they will get married or move out!!! They are pretty golden, maybe silver. They have a baptism date for 2 of May.
President said in another email how happy he was with our work and he thinks our numbers are great! So yea that always makes me feel like i am doing good stuff.
So i have developed a testimony of health care!! So many people are sick or hurt here but they don´t have money to go to the hospital sothey can´t! Or they just keep getting sicker becasue they can´t buy medicine, they also eat horribly so that can´t help. Barinia might have an STD. It wouldn´t surprise us, she hasn´t had a very easy life, but she can´t get it checked becasue she doens´t have money. Really no one has money here, it´ssad. To put it into perspective, our rent is 700bs, we get 600bs to use in a month, that is about $100. Milk is 7 bs, coke is 9bs, taxis are like freaking 20bs, and truffis are 2bs, but we use them a lot. So stuff isn´t expensive, but you go through it fast!! the fruit is like 10 or 20. We always compare it to american dollars then feel better, we are spending less than a 1 a day sometimes!
well life is good! i am happy!! After this week i will have 5 months! WOW!!! where does all the time go?
