Fun fun! Right now I'm writing to you guys in the family
history center of the church that is right up next to the temple- and the
mission offices, so there's a ton of other missionaries here too writing. When I pulled up the picture of Dad I started laughing so everyone looked and I'm
pretty sure they were all pretty confused cause I wasn't sure how to explain
the constitution fair or James Madison or anything in Spanish... haha oh
well.
Here's the picture she's talking about
Oh yeah I forgot to tell you guys that I did get your
package!! I loved it so much!!!!! I'm sorry I had to open it early but I had
transfers and the box wouldn't fit in my suitcase so I had to open it. HP was
more upset 'cause she wanted to put up the streamers and balloons and everything
for me and now she can't :/ She's pretty upset.. but oh well.
OK a little about my companion- Hermana Nuñez, She rocks!!!
She is from Guerrero Mexico, but she lived in North Carolina for like 9 years
so she speaks almost as much English as Spanish.. She is super funny and super
obedient which I LOVE! She's such a great missionary and she does things so
differently from all my other companions but I've been able to learn soo much
from her! She's pretty much teaching me how to be sister training leader and
she's super awesome. I'll send a picture of her.
I really love my area! Actually, not that much, but I know I am going to love it because I started out not liking it at all cause its in Merida again and it just reminds me of my first area Tanlum.... I didn't love
that area... BUT it's a lot better and the ward is soo awesome (well HN and the
other elders in our ward (cause there are 3 companionships in this ward, us and
4 other elders) don't think so but in comparison to Izamal the members are soo
involved!!) We have one investigator Manuel that is soo awesome and he loves
listening to us and he goes to church and everything! His wife died and he
calls us his little angels that come to teach him about God haha:) He just has
troubles with the whole tithing thing, but we're getting there!! We're going to
baptize him.
More goats
"This is the family Ku who I LOVE!!! Ivan (Who HP and I swear is a vampire, cause he looks like Edward Cullen) His mom Dorita who cooks
AMAZING!! And her son Fernando who is the funniest little kid ever!! He's not
wearing pants here....."
We have this other lady Sofia who is the mom of a recent convert
named Jose and he had drug problems and was in jail a lot, but he turned his
life around and got baptized and his mom Sofia claims that she already got
baptized when she was little but we don't have any record of it so we
re-invited her to baptism, and she was totally willing and ready for a while. Then when she did her baptismal interview, the elder who did it didn't know Spanish that well and misunderstood one of her answers and accidentally told
her that she can't be baptized.. and she got kinda mad for a long time.. but
now she's all soft and happy again! And coming to church!!! So we're going to
baptize her too:)
AND this week we met this 15 year old girl named Natali, and
she's way cool and likes listening to us, even though her mom and brother don't
really like us.. She has a lot of family problems and is kinda a rebel child,
but she really had a desire to be clean of her sins so we're going to baptize
her too:)
SO I will let you know when all these baptisms happen, but
in the mean time if you wanted to pray for them that would be so awesome!:)
Love you all:)
