¿QUE TAL?
so, thanks so much for the pics! it was fun to see! mom, you are so pretty, dad why aren´t you in any pics (?) and andrew...i miss you little nogan...and the rest...jk...love you all! how fun to be together for the break! i am missing all the flowers and jealous of your blossoms. me and my comp had a cold this week and it has been hard recooperating cuz NO, we dont really get naps. it rained so much on sunday and i was drenched even though i had an umbrella. silently, i enjoyed the rain....but my comp didn´t too much. Those situations are funny because you really can´t do a lot about it so i just laugh inside. If i laugh out loud my comp gets really mad sometimes...haha oh well
We do have a baptisim this week! yaya...this investigadora es awesome and super great! she pretty much taught herself...i just gave her the pamphlets to read. She even came to church and just always has a desire to do good! it has been great! i am excited for her! i hope she has a spectacular experience getting baptized....i don´t really remember mine...
in reality, i did stress this week...haha i like to be good at things...all the time. especially cuz i do feel the responsibility to teach, but then i cant think of things to say or cant say it, or i speak ¨¨good¨¨ spanish for me, and they dont understand me. haha that is the worst....but i am learning a lot...of patience......yuck..... :)))) i think there are difference kinds of patience. besides, you dont need patience when you are good at everything (and super humble too)
one thing i have really come to appreciate is the GRACE of God. it is the purifying power to be perfected and to learn. Christ learned grace by grace, so i guess i will have to as well.
i also didn´t ever realize how much the scriptures talked about JOY and REJOICING. Those prophets are quite phenominal to have so much joy in so much dificitulties and in their labors. i love the book of mormon...ammon is a hunk, alma the stud, and nefi the first, seriously though, they are pretty amazing! Really the only way to have this joy is to live the gospel.
And don´t you worry, i am really lucky that people always take care of me. I am super watched over and sometimes I don´t know why (maybe others prayers-thanks). i don´t know how it happens but someone always comes along to help me. i am so blessed. I didn´t laugh that much this last week, and my body was very stressed, but with Seba and another recent members we were visiting, I got my laugh back. I think i am receiving all the help i am trying to be giving. i want to take a picture with this couple that i was laughing with. they are recent members and probably in their 50s. i can´t even explain their personalities to you....they are graciela and hugo. haha
answers:
1) favorite site:
I really enjoy taking the train and seeing all the places we have walked that day. It isn´t necesarily a beautiful sight but more the feeling you get of accomplishment... when you are so exhausted and to see all those people and place you have been--it is fulfilling. Also, there is a military place with nice grass and an airport for the military base when we travel. Similar story, when we are driving back on the bus and get to see the sunset-sunrise in this area, it is gorgeous. I love the sun and all the flowers, they have every kind of plant here. Probably the best are the sunrises and sunsets. It is too impossible to pick only one.....
2) habit to adjust to:
mealtimes : The habit of only two meals a day has been different for me. Well, lets just say i eat a lot!!!! we get a breakfast around 7 and then usually a lunch (if/when the members feed us...yum yum) around 1. other than that, we are walking around outside all day. I have started eating at like 10 at night because that is when we get back and have time to eat. People here often eat their dinners around 9 or ten too...so i am becomin very Argentine! so fine! (thats a rhyme) jajaja
glad to hear everyone is good and alive!!! yayaya!
love you!
