So last week I was talking about how the
mission throws you a curve ball. Well here is another one. I’m in a trio with Hna
Gonzalez who I was in a trio with when I first came out and was with Hna Lopez.
Crazy right? Tuesday the day of cambios (transfers) Hna lopez calls
me and is like did you guys know you need to be at the terminal because you
companion has changes? I was like what?!?!?! Then I talked to one of the AP’s and he was
like…hey you guys need to be here right now, your companion has changes and
needs to be here at 10:30 for changes. It was 10:00. I was super annoyed and
stressed out and called the gringo AP and he told me no…your companion doesn’t
have changes…you are going to be in a trio for a little bit. So now Hna Gonzalez
is here. I was really mad at first. But now things are fine and we are working
well together. It helps I know the language now. So there will be a little less
back talking I hope. But we have had a good time and have been getting a long
great so far.
But on Saturday was
the birthday of Hna Gonzalez and Sunday was the birthday of Hna Cordova.
Let me tell you…I have never eaten soooooo much cake and food in my life. Oh my
heck! Especially yesterday. I was on the verge of throwing up basically the
whole day. Today I’m a little hungry but I really don’t want to eat.
On Saturday we
did a surprise party for Hna Gonzalez. Elder
Stephen’s birthday was on Saturday as well, and we celebrated Hna Cordova
birthday which was going to be Sunday. It was like the most depressing party of
my life. Like seriously. Elder Stephens was trunky and my companion (not sure
which one) was crying. Which to this day I don’t know why? She wouldn’t tell
me. So it was kind of lame in that aspect. But I decided to have fun anyways. A
member put a whole lot of cream from the cake on my face. I put a lot on his
face too but he got me worse. Sorry my English sucks. Someone gave Hna Gonzalez
a little cake and when she opened the box I took a big bite out of it. It was
delish! She was like here…take another bite and shoves the cake in my face. It
was hilarious. I will send pics.
The next day we
celebrated the birthday for Hna Cordova. We had lunch with my favorite family
in the ward. Familia Xicara. We had a huge lunch. Then she made a beautiful tres
leche (three milk) cake with strawberries. Man it was good. The drink is a
drink Hna Cordova taught her how to make. It’s like blueberries and pineapple
and other delish stuff. I drank so much of it. When we left we all could barely
walk and were walking like we were drunk. It was ridiculous. Then later we went
to teach an investigator and she gave us tostadas and a drink. Theenn later
that night the bishop invited us over to his house. We had FHE and afterwards
ate MORE. I wanted to die. A sandwich, tostadas, Jell-O and cake. Man oh man
alive. We were all dying. I felt like I could just roll down the street.
Also I have a cold
again. And during FHE with the bishop I had a cough attack. I can’t even tell you how embarrassing that
was. I wanted to die.
But anyways more about
the work. Hna Cordova and I contacted someone in the street and we contacted
her this week. She is amazing. and accepted the goal to be baptized on the
first lesson. She also went to a RS activity and loved it. She had to go to the
capital this Sunday so she wasn’t able to go to church but she is
going to go next week.
Also we have an investigator
that is a little crazy actually a lot of bit crazy. She has a little girl with
a cleft lip and she went to church with us. The ward was so good to her and her
daughter. But after church was a mess. We were going to walk her back to her
house and she said no I’m not going back to my house. And we asked her why? She
said her friend kicked her out. So we called her friend and she was really
close to where we were at. She didn’t kick her out, they just fought a little
bit. But our investigator got mad and left with her daughter and said she was
going to go to a bar or a hotel and there was nothing we could do about it. It
was so sad. And the stake president wants to help her with the surgery. I guess
the investigator treats her daughter really badly which broke my heart. But
hopefully we can find her again and help her change.
Loving the mission. Working
and having fun. We will see what Heavenly Father has in store for us this week.
Thanks for your prayers and support. Love you all
Hna Anderson
