So I can hardly believe that it has been a
year since I have left on the mission. Time goes by so fast. And the truth is I
feel like I don’t have that much time left on the mission. But I’m going to
enjoy every last minute of it! But the truth is this week was kind of uneventful.
So it will probably be a kind of boring letter.
So every Monday night
we go to a FHE with a sister here. And I wanted learn how to make rellenitos, which
is planato or banana but they aren’t the same as bananas that we eat there. I don’t
know what they are called in English but its banana filled with refried beans
with sugar and sour cream on top. Writing about it sounds disgusting but they
are so goooooooooooooood. And now I know how to make them!!! I love them so
much. So we learned how to do that last Monday with Hna Mary.
On Tuesday we
visited the redheaded family. The son that is 16 was just diagnosed with heart
problems so we brought him a little gift so they could give it to him in the
hospital. But when we visit this family it’s impossible to leave. Every time we
tell them bye they are like wait - wait - wait. But they are great. But before
that we had a really great lesson with Chris and his dad. I asked his dad why
he goes to church, which I was kind of scared to do. Because when I asked Chris’s
mom that she told us she only got baptized to support her husband and doesn’t
really believe it’s true. But brother Puacs answer was awesome! It was a super
spiritual lesson. He told us he has gone to a ton of churches but the only one
where he feels good is in our church. Which rocked.
So the mission only
had 55 baptisms the month of May. So we received a little bit of machetes on
Thursday. But getting to the meeting with the AP’s was the biggest joke in the
world. They told us the meeting was going to be at 4 in san cris. which is like
30 - 40 mins on bus. So we all got together as a zone and left around 3 and got
there at 3:30 and when we got there. The chapel was CLOSED! And I had to pee sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
bad! But the church isn’t close to anything. So I went to every single business
asking them if I could use their bathroom because I was ready to explode. And
finally someone let me use their bathroom and when we left from the bathroom there
was our whole zone walking back to the bus because they changed the meeting to
be at Toto. So we all piled on the bus and went back to Toto. And when we got
to Toto they told us the meeting wasn’t going to start until 5:30 and it was 4:45.
In the end the meeting started at 6:00 and ended at 8:00. It took the whole
day. It was so super lame. But the meeting was pretty good for the most
part.
Yesterday we ran into
the less active that lives on the mountain top. and we decided to go and visit
him right then and there with his wife because his neighbors have a ton of
crazy dogs! Well this less active drinks a ton and wants to get back to the church.
We went to his house and his house burnt down in January. He lives in a tiny
room with metal sheets and what’s left of his house as the walls and the roof. They
have a wooden board with a ton of blankets as their bed and his cute little
wife doesn’t speak a lot of Spanish but understands all of it. We are hoping we
can help him get back to church and back on the right path.
Saturday we had a
lesson thing with an Emily and her 2nd cousin. Emily is a 13 year old girl who
is the only member of the church and because of her experiences and what she
says about church her cousin wants to learn more which is great! We had what’s
called a plan Duncan and we made pizza with them. It was really fun. Hopefully
everything will work out well with her.
That’s about all I can
think of. Sorry this letter is boring. I will try to have a better one next
week. But love you all. Have a wonderful week
