It's raining, It's pouring! But the missionaries keep going!
Here is a rundown of the week
Monday- FHE at a member's house. They invited some Recent Converts over and said they were going to start at 7:30 because we had to go at 8:40 to get home on time at 9. SO naturally we get there on time and not everyone is there and so we wait and wait and wait. One more person shows and it´s 8:20. SO we start share a SUPER quick thought and activity and are ready to bolt out the door. Then they are like, No, stay for empenadas and gaseosa! And they pour us sprite and I grab the cup and CHUG! But my companion can´t eat or drink quickly so when nobody was looking i switched our cups and CHUGGED hers too! Then we were like THANKS! And out the door. SO we start quickly heading home and the mom and daughter come running out after us and wanted to walk us to the train station, but we HAD TO GO! SO we are SPEED walking and get to the train station and we get there, say goodbye, and we start RUNNING to the house. We get there just on time, but out of breath.
Tuesday-WE had divisions and I was here in san fernando with Hermana Terry. She came in with me and is way great! In the morning it was sunny and beautiful and all of the sudden it gets dark and starts POURING! SO we RUN to the church, dry off a bit, grab some black plastic bags, and make pancho-type thingies and head out to work again. It was so crazy! Thunder and Lightning, pero mal! I almost died.... ANd then that night we talked for hours, laying in bed. IT was nice :)
Wednesday- I get my hija back and we share stories about what happened in divisions. We had a good lesson with Javier, He is a boss!
Thursday we had planning and then went out to work. I have this habit where while we are walking I grab flowers and leaves. I dont know why. But I grabbed a flower, opened my hand, and saw a BEE! I screamed, felt a little pinch, and flicked my hand real fast! I looked and the bee had stung me but because I reacted quickly only the little tip of the stinger entered, not the whole thing. So I took it out and it hurt! I was worried because I don´t know if i'm allergic or not but nothing happened. I don't know if that´s because i'm not allergic or because the stinger didn´t enter all the way. But it was interesting. First time in my life!
Friday we had a rough lesson with Javier. We were thinking about his situation. He´s here alone, but his pareja is away working for 2 months. SO we talked to him and he said he would marry her went she gets back. So we thougth Law of Chastity, CHECK! But then we realized that when she comes back they would be living together and that can´t happen, so we called the Zone Leaders and talked about it. Together, they decided he needs to get married before he can get baptized. It was rough but Javier is so determined. So today his pareja is coming up to visit and to talk with the lawyers and finalize everything about getting the house back, and while she´s up here he´s going to ask her to marry him! We are anxiously waiting to see what she says so we can start the wedding plans!
And Friday was HALLOWEEN! But it was sad because here they don´t do anything. Maybe a few kids dress up and go around but nothing else. Also this day we had lunch with an awesome member family. It came time to share a scripture, so i pull out a Book of Mormon....IN CHINESE! Everyone was so confused and i just started to laugh! We had received a referral of someone who wanted a Chinese BofM so we got one but we never found the guy, so now i just have it and accidentally grabbed it when we headed out. We got a good laugh.
Saturday-it started to POUR!!!!! We got soaked! It was bad
Sunday- It poured all day long! and my umbrella, after 13 months of faithful service, passed away. It is broken, pero mal! My companion´s umbrella broke too! So we were walking around trying to hide from the rain under broken umbrellas. IT was so funny :)
And today we are going to a pizza buffet with all the missionaries in our Zone. I LOVE ARGENTINE PIZZA! The sauce is so much better than american pizza sauce. I´m so excited!
Well i love you all and hope you have a great week!
