"Painting is my specialty"
Tuesday we traveled to Montevideo, yup the big apple, lol. I had to go downtown to the police station to become a citizen of Uruguay. It was dope! I got my fingerprints taken plus I got to visit with some other elders.
Wednesday, we were back to being the best thing, the Lord’s servants. We worked like crazy! My feet are so sore, lol. We found a ton of people. We talked to one guy that said to me, “you can call me whatever you like”, lol very weird conversation with him. We also taught Siva y Herrerai. They are getting baptized the 14th of April! Let’s Go!! Well, I learned a very important thing Wednesday night. Don’t wait to the last minute to wash all your clothes and bedding because when I fell asleep I had no covers. They were all wet! I froze!! I ended up putting wet covers on anyways. So cold! The weather is crazy here, it’s almost fall. The days are still hot but the nights are cold.
Thursday – Friday
We got up at 5am. The weather is starting to change and it was so so cold in the morning! People are telling me it’s going to be one of the coldest winters this year, ahhh!! Well, we went to Canelones for our district meeting! It was so good. We need to listen to accept and we need to accept to do and we need to do to feel! Love it! After, we walked for forever and had lunch with everyone. We drank natural grape juice. We watched them make it, lol. We drank so much… my stomach died after! We did a service for the family. We painted their house! I painted this whole room, I was covered in paint! It was fun and the family was so thankful.
Update on my feet, well from proselyting in my sandals and trying to be like our Savior, my feet are raw!! Yeah, they are taking a beat down haha. Friday was so cool! We went to a wedding where we were witnesses. I signed for this couple, Siva y Herrerai. All the people were laughing and it was so fun. Well, today such a good day! We taught this older lady that has a lot of health problems. I felt like I talked the whole time to her, but she loved us just being there for her. We also got Albero to accept a date to be baptized, pray for him.
Saturday – Sunday
Saturday was such a good day! I thought I was going to die though. So first, I learned how to do the rubik's cube! It’s actually pretty fun, lol. Well we ate platano, it’s like a big banana. After, we ate shepherd’s pie with our President of our branch! I ate so much! It was insane! We also had pudding cake! So much food! I taught him how to play “I spy” haha so funny! Well, we had an activity and Andrea went, it was so cool. We ate scones, and then I played with all the kids! I love the kids here! After, we had a barbeque! I played with this kid named “ Nacho” haha. I played “ can you survive the seven seas”. It was so funny to hear his laugh. Well, I died, I was so full, I am 99% positive I gained 20lbs haha. I ate like a king today! I got home and talked to Elder Guindo. I freaking miss him!!
Sunday, we went to a baptism in Santa Lucia, we ate with a recent convert there and with all of our hermanas in our district, lol. Super fun! Well, Elder Maza and I did our weekly planning! It was our last one! Gosh I am going to miss that dude. It’s crazy how you grow to love your comp.
Well, remember that serving is our purpose! It isn’t just preaching the word but its doing things for others, doing it out of love. Look for ways to serve and be like our Savior! Look for ways to teach by serving. Remember it’s a once in a lifetime, we get to do this, it’s not a have to.
