Hola Familia!
So we had changes on Tuesday and Hermana Lutz is my companion! she is so fun! she is a redhead from colorado (my district leader had been confused in thinking that I would have a latina comp) haha but she has 8 months in the mission and shes my step mom because she is going to finish training me!
So I will just start from last pday and tell you all about my week! last monday night we had dinner with the familia ayala for hermana tomcos last night in juan de salazar and had asado, which is like barbacue south american style haha and we ended up being there pretty late and to get back home by curfew we ran the whole entire way home! we got back and were just dying and we put the key in our door to get in and the key literally snapped in half! and the other half was stuck in the door! so sadly this is the only key there is for this house so our landlord lady and the elders break down the door for us! haha they had a good time doing that, its every boys dream to break down a door right?
So then new years eve and new years day was just working like normal days except everyone was just partying and drinking and we didnt really have much success at all talking to people these days because the majority of people were really drunk blasting their paraguayan music haha
oh! but we were also busy trying to figure out the area, because with cambios this week, they switched us and the elders areas, so we live so much closer to our area and its a little nicer then the area we were working in before!
So far we have just been stumbling upon all these menos activo members of the church that we dont have record of them, and so we have been working a lot with them. its funny how we find these people, what happens is we walk by their house and they are sitting in front of their house in the shade drinking their terrerre and we ask if we can share a message and so we start teaching them then like halfway through the lesson, they are like yeah I was actually baptized into your church before but I havent been to chruch in like 9 years haha Its funny how heavenly father puts them in our path.
Another fun experience this week was me getting over being sick, I wasnt really recovering but then talked to the mission nurse who told me that I needed to get on an antibiotic and so she gave me the name to go get it, and here you can get any perscription over the counter haha its like in mexico where you can just go buy whatever you want haha and dont worry I am fully recovered now!
So i would have to say the highlights of this week were saturday we were walking along and saw hermana gomez with a friend sitting in the ditch waiting for a collectivo and they had 5 minutes till the bus was going to come but hna gomez that her friend was interested in the church so we sat down in the ditch with them and gave her the lesson of the restoration in 5 minutes before the bus came! haha and then sunday one of our menos activo hermanas we have been visiting came to church! and she brought her 16 year old daughter who just had a baby and they havent been to church in about 2 years but the hermana got up and shared her testimony too! we were so excited! also they invited us over to their house for dinner tonight so thats going to be fun!
I hope everyone is doing well! Hope everyone had a good new years! Im just here working under the hot sun! haha I have some awesome tanlines going right now
until next week! love you all!
love
hermana meese
