ohhhhhhh hi.
first things first. I GOT MY 4 BOXES!!!!! you should have seen me this past wednesday when the zone leaders were giving me the boxes. my smile was sooooo big and i clapped after they handed me every box. mabes to them it was obnoxious, but that is probs just because they are super jealous. right? and their looks of jealousness was like receiving another box all together!! hahaha just kidding. but for some reason, i did enjoy their envy. i have the best family, duh. and i have been enjoying EVERYthing in each of the boxes. THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. ive been learning to share? the compis want me to share... so i have also been learning to say, "nooooo... this is a little toooo sacred to share. sorry. " hahahahaha woops. what can i say?
okay, so i am attaching some pictures of yesterday when we ate lunch with some of our investigators. Fania vends fish out of her house, fried fish, and this plate called Ceviche. it is crude fish but with this ammaaazzziiiing limey, spicey sauce and it is soooooooo good. we´re technically not supposed to eat ceviche, but if someone invites you to it, you cant say no...because you would offend. so we say yes and pray not to get sick. mwhahaha!! and it is soooooooooo goooooood.
so we have continued in teaching Maria Laura, and her son, Jose, and now her pareja...uhhhh how do you say that in english? her pair? the person she lives with. anyway. his name is Santiago. and they are all doing sooooo great. Santiago at first was like, nooooo i dont want to listen. and he had a lot of questions like he knew the bible really well, but then when he realized that we didnt want to argue, but just wanted to get to know him and help him, he calmed down and took a lot of interes in the lesson and now we are teaching all 3 of them!! and they all want to be baptized! they all feel that it will take a lonnnnnnng time to get to that point--they understand repentance. but we are trying to help them understand the faith more, too. maria laura is definitely the rock in the family and is progressing the best. but they are all reallly great. pray for them!!
also, we met Jeni. so we have been visiting this less active family in the ward here and there to try to animate them to come to church. and this week we had the feeling to go and visit them, but didnt really know why. so we went bla bla and then they were like, oh yeah. and one of our family friends is living with us. she´s not a member. so they introduced us to her and she has been wanting to know more about it all. eeeek!!! so now we are teaching her, too. and yesterday she went to church--and the whooollle inactive family as well. i couldnt stop smiling yesterday because of it. and jeni has a date to be baptized! 15 of september!! so pray that she will be able to keep progressing toward this day to be baptized :)
everything is soooo great. the companions...yah are hard at times. but i know im not alone and heavenly father is helping me. thanks for all your prayers i love and miss you all sooooo much!
love,
me
