The Ginger Sister

HOLA FROM THE RICA.

Hope back to school is going great for everybody! suckers. hahahaha

No really, its crazy that summer is over. for all of you, I've still got 13 months left of it. seriously, its freakin hot here. I'm comin back blonde and tan. I'm sure of it. 

So Tuesday, we went to the richer part of Concepcion trying to find our less actives. We found them, and they are the coolest ever. Well we only found 1 couple, but they are super rad. The husband isn't a member, they are both dentists, and are expecting a babyyy!!! ahhhh so cute. They love to travel together, we talked about Vegas for a long time, I was like, yeah I love Vegas, the good ol days. haha 

I saw Hna Tippetts Monday, and the Elders from Turrialba, and they were like, the people in Turrialba talk about you all the time, they didn't want you to leave, they miss you. haha I was like, I didn't even know how to speak spanish and  they still loved me. 

So it was raining, surprise, real hard one day on our way to lunch, and all the sudden, it wasn't raining on us, but we could see the rain infront of us and hear it, and at the same time we were like, gracias padre celestial, and right after, freakin thunder shook the town, He was like, de nada. hahhaah missionary stuff... ya know.... we are weird.

I think I have worms, I never feel full when I eat, and I eat like a freakin pig.... its disgusting! its like, where can I get lipo....

My comp is really havin a hard time, because she doesn't ever hear from her family, and she feels like something is wrong.... pray for her. I feel so bad. she's the greatest and so humble, but she needs extra blessings. thank ya.

We were going to visit a less active in San Fran, and we have to walk through this alley way to get to her house, but there is this dog that belongs to one of her neighbors. a nice pit bull....  it comes running out of its house into the street, I swear it heard us coming, and it's like barking at us, and biting at our umbrellas, and we just happened to have bread, it was nasty, so I threw a little piece and it ate it real fast and came for a bite of us... so I threw the whole loaf and I ran, and my comp just stood there... don't worry, we made it... after like 5 seconds I grabbed my comp and we ran. hahaha scary stuff....

Silvia, a member of our ward, calls me her hija gringa. haha I have a lot of mommies here. what can I say, they love me.

So we have an investigator, who doesn't know how to read, but is a pastor, and always likes to try and shut us down with, what the bible says. HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. YOU CANT READ! people here believe what men say, not what God says.

 Saturday, we were invited to a mothers day activity with the ward, because we had investigators go and it was catered Mexican food. defreakinlicious. I was happy with it. Then they had contests of, name that tune, I totally won saved by the bell. thank you TV. I love that show. hahaha but I gave my prize away, cause it wasn't a free dinner at the restaurant that a member owns. And then they had a dancing contest to gangamstyle.... the son of the secretary is 7 years old, and knows the whole thing. they teach it to the kids in school. hahahahaha I WAS DYING. I was like, yeah he could be my son, he has my moves. haha it was soooooo funny! and I started dancing a little bit, and my comp was trying to stop me,,, you know me and my dance moves. haha and we walked outside and the Bishop was like, you should dance when you are teaching people. hahaha 

At church yesterday, I was sitting with Claudia and my comp, and my comp was tickling my back, so I was leaning down a little bit, and my legs were close to Claudia, and she feels them. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN SHAVED IN A MONTH. hhahaah I was like don't, their ugly. she was like, I never have had hair. it's true, she has nothing on her legs or arms. I'm so jealous. but then I decided its time to shave. so I did. Don't worry. They don't look too manly now. and while I was shaving, I got a bloody nose, like that thing drained for 10 minutes. I'm scared. Because never have I had a bloody nose. like that.... crazy stuff.

OK here's some scripts. Acts chapter 1, verse 18. its a winner.

and D&C 60 verses 2-3

Honestly, I love you all. Thank you for your support and love and everything y'all do for me. The prayers help. I'm so grateful for the time I have to preach this gospel, in spanish, believe it or not, I'm trying. haha I hope all of ya know that you can't get to the celestial kingdom without sharing the gospel. so get to it. ITS TRUE. all of it. love it. learn it. obey it. ya know,  all that good stuff.
