Service and Sunburn
Tuesday - Wednesday
Wow what a day! We got a cake, well the hermanas got us a cake for someone’s birthday haha and well it had wine in it! Straight up, I died after the first bite, it tasted so BAD! The hermanas felt terrible! Well, after that we gave 2 blessings to two guys, which was really cool because we helped an 18 year old member give a blessing which he has never given one yet. We then found a guy and put a fecha to be baptized! It was amazing. The spirit was so strong! Wednesday, we taught two new people that were miracles, super cool and humble people. We saw a guy taking selfie‘s in the middle of the street, lol. The poses he was doing killed me! I was dying, haha. Also we saw a cat have a 1 on 1 duel with a snake! Little bit of animal planet live, haha.
Thursday - Friday
I did an intercambio with Elder Espinoza! Oh my gosh, he got me thinking a lot. He lost someone close to him while in the mish and is someone super humble. It really changed my outlook on a lot of things. Later, we played futbol with little kids that were so happy to play with us. It was the best thing ever. Overall I learned a lot of things this week with this guy! Friday, we did a four hour service project. We made/built a roof out of concrete! It was awesome, but it was hot! I definitely got to see how fast and hard people work to get things done. I fried haha! The results; tired body, worn hands, sunburned but a happy family and really that’s all worth it. We also found this lady to teach. I had the strongest feeling to pass by her so we did. She is so humble. It was amazing! The spirit never fails to lead if we are willing to listen. That night we played futbol. The ball ended up popping so we played some basketball!! Everyone kept saying it’s not fair haha it was awesome. I definitely miss playing the game!
Saturday - Sunday
It was so hot today! I was asked to give two blessings today, one to an investigator, the other to our Bishop. Sunday, well it has been one of the worst storms that I have been in here. It was super windy, thunder and lightning and a complete downpour of rain!! We were soaked from head to toe but it was all worth it this week! “One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever needs to be final” -Thomas S Monson
Love you all!
