yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy. i am writing to all of you again! this week has flown by! does time go as fast for you guys as it does for me??
it is soo crazy.
okay, so first off, thanks to all who wrote me this week. i love each of your cartas soooo much. woops! i mean letters. i cant even speak spanish very well, but because i talk in it all the time, sometimes words get mixed up in my brain. yikes.
so, the point of my story last week about the lady with the rooster was that after i took a picture of she and her rooster, we asked her again if she would be interested in listenng to more of our message, and she said yes! so my southern charm worked on her hahaha and now we are teaching her! she is oh so interesting you guys. mannn. her name is sylvia and she is free lance writer and she is super smart. but she is also very strange. but that is why we love her. hahaha so she has 7 other chickens as pets. and they just roam throughout her house hahaha. and during one of the lessons, while i was talking, she just got up and but this black chicken in my lap (right now lia is saying, why you gotta make it bout race?). and so i just held it like a kitten and pet it like a kitten. but chickens arent kittens. hahah it was sooo strange. but i loved it. she has a lot of strange beliefs, and she is kind of angry at God for the pains in the world, but her heart is softening and it is really cool to see. i hope we continue to progress with her.
got rashes? i do i do. yeah. i just have these patches of red bumps on my torso and they kiiiiiillllllllll i called the pres´s wife and asked her what they could be and she said that it is either a fungus(eeek!) bed bugs(eeek!) or an allergic reaction. and then as i further described it to her, and showed it to a few members in the ward, they told me that it was probs an allergic reaction (phewwww) but it kiiillllsssss and itches. what the?? im taking some kind of allergy medicine for it. but no one really knows what to do soooooo... hopefully it will go away soon?
i had my first baptism on friday night!! it was hugo and he is just THE COOLEST ever. man. he is the 17 year old one, and he is sooo cool. ive only known him for just under 2 weeks, but ive seen him change so much. i felt bad on friday because he showed up a couple of minutes late and told us that he had hadsome probs getting out of his house because his family is nootttt for him getting baptized. but he came and his baptism was great! all of the youth were there, and they were all super welcoming and opening to him. and one of the youth baptized him. ahhh man. it was just the greatest. and for sunday, me and hna c bought him a shirt a tie for his confirmation because he didnt have one. and he looked so nice in it. hugo is great. during lessons, if i understand something, he never believes me! and he is like, what did i just say. tell me. because sometimes i dont understand anything. but believe it or not, hugo, the gift of tongues does work. hahaha
nicolas is my other fave. he is just so great. i dont have much time so that is all i will say about him. he is getting baptized this saturday.
pray for our other investigatiors. there are 2 that are struggling. they need all the prayers they can get.
oh! and we had a tremor (i think that is what they are called. not quite an earthquake...) anyway, it was sooooo scary to me! i hated it hahaha evreything was shaking and it was the middle of the night so, i was evern more confused. anwyay. me no likey. but kind of it was cool. hahaha i dont knmow...
okay, well, thanks so much for everything family! you gusy are the best! i pray for you guys all the time and i hope you are all doing well! i love hearing from you every weeek! it is my fave.
mucho mucho amor,
hermana jill
