Staying with Hermana Routsong!

Pucha, Freaking Vina, I am stuck with Hermana Routsong for ANOTHER 6 weeks!!!

 

Haha no we are actually excited, and not at all that surprised.  Everyone else that we saw today in El Prado were like, ¨Wait you aren´t going to have a Latina?¨Nope apparently we need to be together still.  Maybe it is because of Noelia and Carlos who only like to speak in english. Which is actually hard for us, we can´t teach in english, but we can share our testimonies.  Maybe it is because of Barinia who still needs us, or maybe it´s because we need each other.  This morning we made goals, we need to better my spanish so maybe zero english for us from now on.  

 

So Theresa, who is like our mommy here.  She is the one who gave us Mordor of food.  Called us the other day, ¨Hijtas, come here it´s an emergency! Where are you?¨Ök Theresa, we will be there in a minute¨¨ Then we were walking, Öh crap hermana she is going to give us food. We go to her house, she made us Saltañas!!! She heard us talking about them and she got up early to make us them! They weren´t that good, but who cares!

 

So we are still visiting Dana, we can´t baptize her because she is only 11, she can´t even walk to the church by herself.  Man do we want to baptize her though.  WE gave her a lesson on fasting and tithing, she fasted the next day and gave us her tithing AND ofrenda money! We didn´t ask for that, she is 11 and not even baptized!! She knows so much.  Honestly she knows more than i did at 11.  We just told her to pray for her mom and help us work with her.  Then they can both recieve these blessings together.  The children here are so much closer to God.

 

Speaking of being clse to God.  I went to the temple Saturday! With Barinia!!!! Holy cow.  I did what President Eyring promised i would do.  Guys, i took a daughter of God to the temple and well, we were all crying.  It was beautiful.  The worker comes up to us, ¨What an amazing convert you have there¨.  Then we lost it again.  She was so happy.  She felt peace.  She doesn´t have to hurt herself anymore, or feel pain or unloved.  It was amazing.  That morning we were doing a project to feel the Atonement more in our lives and we read the story about the shepard who left 99 sheep to rescue one.  Even though this isn´t our only baptism, if she was the only one who i saw to the waters of baptism, i would be ok.  She will rescue those 99 other sheep.  She keeps talking about how she will go on a mission! I have no fear with her.  

 

So I read a story from that family history book, if I can, everyday.  It is amazing! I love it so much and I love learning about them.  They are all amazing examples to me, especially Joseph Hyurum Parry! I want to write one when I get back!

 

So the other day at lunch, we had pizza, Hermano Claros said he was going to drop Brandon off at Utah and not pick him back up.  I said it was ok he could live with Us! Brandon was like, yea lets do it and party! So we might be boarding Brandon, who reminds me of Isaac soooo much! His english is pretty good too.  I love that family.  We WILL visit them, well and they will visit us too.  Brandon is going to try and go to EFY in Utah.

 

After a crazy night of feeling like my ¨Mommy¨Would leave me, she´s not, so now we have to go back to everyne and say, just kidding she is still here.  Training done! Time to party!
