Oh my gosh, its transfers again this week. time just goes by so freakin fast, its redick.
Monday after I emailed you we went to Claudias house. I GOT 3 NEW PAIRS OF SHOES. thank you rich people. and thank you steve madden for living and making nice shoes. yes, I got me some high class shoes, for freeeeeeeee. I love being a missionary.
We went to Hna Lees as well, and her family from Utah were still there, so I did a little translating for my comp and them. I was so happy I understood her. haha
Tuesday we had a nice district meeting... I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT QUESTIONS OF THE SOUL. ask me one, and I'll be like, yeah sorry I can't answer that. Well there's a baptism down the drain. haha no I'm working on knowing scriptures better. When somebody asks a question during the lesson, the spirit is like BAM Alma 14. ok cool, but during district meeting its like, hey Elder I'd like to slap ya across the face right now for making me look bad. but whatever. I'm still learning.
So we were riding in the bus on the way to San Jose, and we only have like 4 dollars for the rest of the week, and I forgot my temple recommend. I was like hey comp I'm dumb and forgot my recommend, and she was like, ok lets get off here and go get it. And I was like, we have no money. and she was like we will have to pray like crazy. So we walked 15 mins back to the house AND THERE WAS 20 DOLLARS IN OUR HOUSE. yes, the lord really wanted us to go to the temple.... its not really dollars, but it makes more sense for all of you... hahaha...
Friday I woke up with a nice ear ache. Got me a nice ear infection. oh the joys of being a missionary. I was like, no we are working, lets do this. So we went and did family history with the district for a little bit. HEY THERE IS A LOT OF WORK TO DO FOR THE DEAD. so do it. I didnt know it was so fun until Elder Taylor and I found out that in the 265 BC he's related to the king of France..... its fun, or its just that boring.... hahaha jk jk jk. there's just a lot of work to do... once I'm done baptizing people who are alive, I'll do it for the dead. 1 year. woosh.
We had to have a story of our ward being united, so we called the past bishop and asked him. and he shared a story of one christmas everyone in the ward gave a gift, and they sent it to children in Nicaragua who didn't have anything. and I was reminded of that one christmas like a million years ago in Preston, where we were so blessed to have such a great ward. and I'm so blessed to have such a great family, all of you, that gives for christmas, instead of recieving. think about that this year... even though its still 3 months away, all of ya should think about serving others instead of being selfish and thinking about what you want to receive.
We had church at 4 in the afternoon yesterday, because it was independence day of Central America or something. We were combined with tres rios ward as well. that was the biggest attendence we have had in a long time. hahahaha and I also recieved a nice blessing from the Elders, cause I was hurtin real bad. and now I'm better. thank you priesthood. Heavenly Father is happy with where I am. I guess I really need to be reminded of my decision, that its the right one. Which I know it is.
Juan Carlos came to church with us. He enjoyed it. His sister Kayling wants to learn english to study at BYU after her mission, so I gave her a BOM in english. She cried. Your welcome.
Our FHE lesson with the Perieras was about forgiveness. A knife in my heart. gosh dang, that's hard stuff to do. But we should all do it. Forgive and forget, and don't be dumb about it. Sincerly forgive and ask forgiveness to the people and to God. gotta love it.
WE TOTES HAVE THE CONFIDENCE OF THE PERIERA FAMILY. fam of the bishop. his brother is super inactive, and didn't want anything to do with the missionaries, but yesterday, he joined us for lunch, and talked with us about our lives and homes and stuff, then gave us a ride back to our house. YES. nailed it. We are working with him, little by little. I'm just hoping we don't get changes. but the elders told us there won't be alot of transfers this time because President wants 200 baptisms, so its better to keep working as the same companionship with the people who have dates right now. but we will see.
Saturday we were walking back to our house, and there was a lot of parties goin on for independence day, and we walked past this one house and somebody yelled BOER. HEY BOER. and I looked over and he was like, BOER I LOVE YOU. I have no clue who it is, still. And he was totally drunk. My comp was like, Hermana Boer, everybody loves you here. they know who you are, and they love you. hahaah
this week was pretty crazy, but not a whole lot to say.

1 Samuel 16 verse 7
