1- How long do I pray? haha i never stop praying :) jk. well, sometimes i feel like a sinner cuz i will wake up in the middle of the night and my comp is still on her knees. she is good at praying. but in the morning we have 30 minutes set aside to exercise (630-700), but we pray together as comps and....well, sometimes, we aren´t able to exercise more than ten minutes because we pray so long.....but we pray together as comps in the mornings right when we wake up and my comp likes to pray for a long time....not gonna lie, kinda like in the mornings in highschool when we were all ¨´reading the scriptures´´ together as a family
2- there are a lot of things that make me laugh. this last week, i probably laughed the hardest (inside) when the daughter of the only investigador we have brought to church was wacked in the head with the sacrament tray. serious. the first time at the church and the members are hitting our investigadors with the sacrament tray.
our investigador brought her grandchild she takes care of because the mom works like 2 jobs and barely sleeps 4 hours a night. (we teach all of them). the little girl is like 4 years old and absolutely loves me. they were passing the sacrament, the adult passing handed her the cup and helped her and it was really cute. he came over to me (i was more in the middle isle of the church) and the little girl was watching me take the cup. she was leaning really far and the adult passing turned and wacked her in the head with the sacrament tray. luckily she didn´t cry, and it probably shouldn´t have been funny, but it was. the guy passing is way cool and reminds me of camon. he gave the little girl a peice of candy and it was totally fine cuz it wasn´t that bad. i don´t know if it is bad that i was trying not to laugh.
ANOTHER FUNNY STORY:
we had this old man that likes to eat peaches with the missionaries. i guess it is a traditions and after he always gives us these lady fingers cookies things. well, we went to his house and after we had a meeting at the church. i dídn´t have room in my bag for the cookies, so i kinda put them under my jacket thing and the strap of my bag was keeping them up. we had the meeting, after i went to shake hands and the cookies fell out. it was really funny cuz i was like trying to hide them, and then they fell out and everyone was laughing really hard. of course i turned red and then we were all laughing harder. the funny thing is that i asked my comp before what we should do and we both wanted to eat them. MORAL OF THE STORY: IF YOU HAVE COOKIES, SHARE THEM!!!
MIRACLES:
we found this lady, named Graciela, who is mMARRIED!!! WITH 9 KIDS!!! (that is two miracles right there) she has come to church and is reading the book of mormon.(miracles 3 and 4). it is a miracle we found her...well actually she kinda found us. but we were working with her and the district leaders wanted to meet her. the only thing is that her husband is attending another church.
well, long story short, the elders came with us to her house, and her husband got really offended that so many people came and we didn´t ask or warn them about it. he told us not to come back and we were devastated. luckily, we wrote a note to ask for forgiveness because it would be so great to have a family! i want to baptize a family so bad!!!! anyhow, the miracle is that we ended up running into the mom a few hours later, and she felt bad for how everything went. she also thanked us for the note and said no other church would have done that. she also said her husband felt bad for his words, (miracles 5, 6, 7,8) .
We also found this woman who has been to church before and is so great! she has a daughter and we were able to find them. it was a miracle we found them (actually some elders found her and just told us where she lives generally) she lives in a villa and it is hard to find people sometimes because they don´t have numbers or anything. but we taught her the other day and it was great!!!
one things we are devastated about is we seba (our amulek) because he didn´t come to church this sunday....so many members are wondering and asking about him. we would like to find more males with the priesthood and missionaries too. he fits both those categories and he has such a good influence on so many people....
daddio thanks for your support and everything! please thank bishop chamberlain and the stake president for everything too and the ward for all their help! please allow people to help if they would like to as well! it is so awesome to be a missionary!!!
love you!
