Monday-Wednesday
This week, we were so busy servicing others with anything they needed us to do. We went to the beach and the arcade for our pday. Let’s just say it was way too fun and I felt like a little kid again. On Tuesday, we had an intercambio and I got to show a new missionary from Peru the ropes of my area. I had a feeling to talk to this one family and it was awesome! We now have 3 people with a fecha (date for baptism). The new missionary was so excited after and goes “we can baptize all of Uruguay!” Let’s go, I love it! He gave me a huge hug and just talked about how amazing he feels and how he loves working with me. It was funny when we were about to teach, we both looked at each other because we didn’t know who would go first because neither of us are senior companions. So, I decided to start and it was awesome! His face was priceless after! I found out he likes Frozen so we started belting out the song. He was having a hard time being newly out and it put a smile on his face.
We got the chance to do a service for Maria, the lady we just baptized. We went to work on breaking concrete that held her bed for her. We worked on it for 3 hours. Inside the concrete was all kinds of random stuff. Mixed in with the concrete was clothing, shampoo bottles, trees, food, a hose, glass, literally everything. I got a piece of glass in my finger but no worries it’s fine. I was so tried! We got home and I was out!
Thursday-Friday
Thursday we went on an intercambio with the zone leaders and had a barbeque. After, we then got ready for the service project that was in the morning. On Friday, we cleaned the beach and I roasted! I am a lobster right now and I am going to be so dark by the time I come home. I know I am going to have skin cancer or lung cancer from the sun or the marijuana smoke. Lol We cleaned the beach for 3 hours! We found all sorts of stuff. We then got our “light the world” t-shirts and after we had an activity and had people write their dreams on a paper and let it go in a balloon. Super fun! We were up until midnight the night before making the signs and stuff for it. I definitely was so tired I forgot to shave lol.

Saturday-Sunday
Saturday was another service project. We cleaned an entire house and the yard for a lady that could not take care of it because she was too old. She was so grateful! After, we taught Maria’s daughter. We used a lot of examples and visuals stuff to teach her daughter about prophets. She loved it! After we went to Michael and Annabelle’s house and they made fun of me for not being able to say the double “rr”. It was a long night! Lol.
Our church is almost a branch. We have 37 people now coming to church. We had Leonardo bless the Sacrament for the first time. It was the best seeing him in a suit and so exciting to have the priesthood. He calls me his guardian angel haha. I just love him! The grupo also has a primary, it so cool! It’s growing fast! After that we taught a lady and the whole time she just helped me with saying the double “rr”. It’s a struggle! I had so much pizza today, they just kept feeding me! If you don’t eat everything they offer, they get offended. That’s about it for the week. Do something to make someone smile! Question of the day, how special is the Priesthood to you?
