that is a reference from monsters incorporated, in case you
didnt know. and i am using it to refer to my lice. i believvveeee that they are
out of my haiiirrr. haleilujah! i hope they are gone. i havent found any,
but i think that the eggs stiiiill remain. little reproductive nasties...
anyway. hiiiiiiii!!!! i am always ohhhhhhhhhh so excited to
write you guys every week. but mostly to receive your emails. da best. pleeeez
dont ever stop writing me. i would cry. hahaha but seriously.
so this week has been ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so great. where
to begin, where to begin.
last week´s pday: we went to parque de las aguas which has a
bunch of water fountains and has a laser water show thing. it was actually
realllllly great and cool and peaceful. i dont think i really liked that kind
of thing before the mission, but i really enjoyed being there. and there is
this one section of fountains that the people can play in, but i didnt want to
"play" in it because that would mean that i would get wet, and it is
kind of cold at night here now, annnnd we were all wearing our proselyting
clothes. but you can go into the middle of this fountain without getting wet,
but you have to move fast and skillfully--uh oh dopey. 2 things that im not.
but i tried anyway. and right before i reached the middle, i FELL, right on ma
backside. hahahhaha normally i would be scarred with embarrassment. but i wasnt
embarrassed at all. hahaha my dignity here in peru doesnt exist. hahaha and
then my freaking companion pulled me into the fountains and the other sisters
too. freaking. but then it ended up being really fun and all of us played like
little kids in the fountain. i attached some pics. oh, and there is a pic of me
and hna. santiago. she is my fave, and i hope that we can be comps in the
future.
alllsooo, we had a lesson with the son of Elizabeth,
Jefferson. he is 8. and we taught him about prayer and how the relationship
with God is sooo important, and then we asked him if he would say the closing
prayer, and Elizabeth taught him how to pray and helped him along! it was the
greatest cutest thing in the whole world. Elizabeth has come suchhhhhh a long
way. and this sunday we announced her baptism that it was this saturday, and
she couldnt stop smiling. and once again, during sunday school, she was taking
notes the whole time. you guys, she is seriously soooo great. i pray that she
will stay active in the church and everything because it is going to bless her
family so much. they are soooo poor. whenever anyone is ever sick in that
house, im always scared because they dont have the money to go to the doctor.
but she has a family in the ward now who is going to care for her.
on saturday was the baptism of Consuelo, or Lucia. hahaha
Consuelo is just a nickname. but everyone calls her that, right? but after
being baptized she refuuused to respond consuelo. only lucia. hahaha she said,
i've changed my religion, so i have changed my name. Consuelo remains in the
water." hahhaa she's the greatest. and in the closing prayer, the person
called her consuelo, and she corrected him in a loud whisper,
"lucia!!" hahaaha she is the greatest!! i attached some pictures from
the baptism, tooo.
oh man you guys. it was just the greatest.
oh, annnnnd yesterday night, this big family from utah came
and performed orchestra-type of music in our stake, and they are traveling to
other parts of peru. anyway, one of the daughters was going to share her
testimony and needed to have someone translate it into spanish... and they
chose ME. ahhahahaha i was oh so nervous, but thankfully testimonies are the
words i know. who knew 5 months ago that i would be translating in front of a
lotttt of people. not me. thanks for the prayers, peeps. i am ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
so grateful.
you guys, this soooo cool to be a missionary. i know that
for me and my testimony of the gospel, i HAD to serve a mission. thanks for all
of your support and your prayers. i love all of you soooooooooooooooo much.
thanks for loving me. i love an dmiss you all SOOO much.
love,
jill frances
