Hola family!
This week honestly flew by! we have been working sooo much, we just never stop! right now hermana tomco and I have the highest numbers in our district for investigators and contacts and lessons taught. We were figuring it out the other day too, that we´ve been walking about 12 miles everyday in between visiting all of our members and investigators!
Anyways I will fill you in with some highlights of this week! Monday night we had noche de hogar, with the Lopez family and for the treat I made brownies using grandma albrechts recipe and they loved them soooo much! haha Yanina, the daughter asked me for the recipe and I translated it into spanish for her so that was cool!
Then tuesday we met with our Brazilian family thats super interested and the mom and her two daughters have baptism dates! but then Creosa the mom told us she feels like she cant get baptized yet because her husband Jose´ still hasnt gotten divorced from his first wife in brazil. and him and creosa got married in paraguay so their marriage is valid here but not in brazil but she feels like its not right until they have that done for her to get baptized. so we are praying things work out for them!
Then wednesday was our busiest day, we had sooo many lessons but as we were walking around, everything just was like beautiful to me! I was just noticing all the details of peoples houses and i was just picturing that these places would be like the backdrop for an anthropologie magazine haha me and hermana tomco were just pointing out every little thing we loved as we walked around that day!
oh, we also met this grandma, Liduvenia, and she definitely has a pet parrot that talks in spanish haha and it knows how to chant the chant for Olympia the futbol team! haha it just sits there and goes Par A Guay! ya! ya! ya! and then whistles! haha she lives in like this old farm house, and there are chickens everywhere and she has a well out in front of their house, oh and she has cows that just wander around the house too haha
Thursday, was fun, we had lunch with hermana Limpia, shes a recent convert and guess what we got to eat... rooster haha I didnt know it was until after I ate it, I thought it was like beef but now I can add that to the list of weird things Ive eaten in my life haha
Saturday we hit the wall and were soooo tired. and when we were going to bed that night our neighbors were just blasting their music. Everyone does that here, they have these huge sound systems in their tiny houses haha but when someone listens to music that means everyone else gets to listen too! and the funny thing is they are really into 80s american music here! so saturday night we fell asleep listening to 80s rock haha and they were playing some beatles music too haha
yesterday we got to speak in church again! we have like an average of 60 people in church each sunday and it looks like the missionaries get to speak a lot haha we have soooo many less active members. I think theirs supposed to be about 150 in our ward but everyone is just lazy, they dont feel like walking so they wont come or if its too hot, they wont come or if its raining then no one does anything! haha we are working on just getting people committed. One lady we met with thats less active told us she´d come back to chruch if they dont give her a calling haha so that pretty much sums up what Ive been working on here!
Its crazy how time flies! I cant believe its already christmas! I hope everyone has a wonderful week! love you all! and merry christmas!
love
hermana meese
