Hello Fam,
So
this week nothing really major happened, but I have some cool small experiences.
I’ve been praying to be able to see my progress with my Spanish - it’s really
hard to tell. This week we were
talking to one of the less active sisters in our ward and I was able to
understand most of what she was saying and carry on a conversation with her. It
was pretty awesome, but I think I got a little too proud because after that we
talked to some other people and I had no idea what they said. So I think that
was God’s way of saying you are on the right track, but you still have a ways
to go. Lol!!
We
also had a little rat in our apartment. It was really little and pretty much
stayed behind the stove so we didn't really care. One night it was just making a lot of noise while we were
trying to plan so I decided that I had had enough. I got a bucket and the plan
was to scare it out so I could trap it. It didn’t really go as planned. We
scared it out just fine but it was a lot faster than I thought it would be. We chased it around our apartment for
30 min. eventually it just ran outside.
The things you think are fun once you’re on a mission! Now we have another problem, either it
came back or it has a friend and this one is a little more brave and got into
my bread! The things that make you
mad once you’re on a mission! I
just bought a rattrap today so we can finish this sucker! Do not mess with a missionaries food!
Another
cool story was we were teaching a lesson to one of our investigators. The lesson was going really well, the Spirit
was really strong, and during it we heard this weird noise kind of like white
noise but stronger. We just thought it was the fan or something and ignored it.
Then we heard thunder so we looked outside and it was pouring rain. Like Virginia
rain, buckets. That was our last lesson for the night and we needed to get back
to our apartment, we were not close and we were not prepared for the rain
whatsoever. It had been hot that
entire day. We decided we had to suck it up and embrace the rain. We were completely
soaked in like 10 seconds. It rained so hard that the streets began to flood,
we had to walk back almost the entire way it about shine high water. The scary part was about every five
seconds everything would light up blue from crazy strong lighting. I was wetter than any person has ever
been. IT WAS AWESOME!! I was having the time of my life! The really cool part
was that the rain was warm so I wasn’t cold or anything. It was like taking a
shower, but with clothes on. And my bag held up perfectly, nothing got wet
inside it. The next day it was raining pretty hard in the morning and I didn’t
want to be caught off guard again so I broke out the boots and my rain gear. Right
as we left it stopped raining and didn’t start back up again, so that was a bit
of a bummer! I did break in my
boots a little bit which was good.
I
did some math this week and figured some stuff out. The exchange rate here is
15 pesos for 1 dollar, and we get 1,800 pesos every month. That is 120 dollars
a month. So things here, compared to the US and pretty cheap which is always
nice lol but I as also wondering so you guys still have to pay the full 400 if I
only use 120. How does that work?
I
set up my Christmas tree its Awesome!! I set it up right next to my bed I forgot to take a picture
of it but I will this week. I love it and I’m going to take good care of it so it’s
in the same condition for next year. Dad, make sure you get some extra help for
ED because that’s a lot of work! But I know you can do it! I love you guys I
will talk to you soon! Kiss the puppies for me!!
