Anyways, we had our trunk or treat on saturday... one of our investigators came and then the Hernandez family came. Our recent convert Brandi came too. We were able to talk to this lady who just stopped by because she saw a trunk or treat and I was talking to her and she seemed interested and so hopefully we will meet with her this week. Also, the Hernandez family came to church yesterday! And the members are awesome one of them got up and bore her testimony in Spanish because she saw they were there. She was so nervous but did it! it was way cool! However, their 3 year old son, Marcel, talked a lot and I think the mom got embarrassed and so they left after sacrament meeting. We just need to explain to her that is how little kids are. The older girls were bummed though because they didn't want to leave they wanted to stay.
We have been walking a lot because we don't have a car. We walked to down town where POST is the cereal company and boy it is in the ghetto is was gross! haha there is a dump by it and it smelled so bad I almost threw up.... but anyways... The family I talked about last week lives by there haha...and those are the girls we played ball with. I seriously love that family! I was super happy that the mom let us take her girls because she is really protective over them but now she really trust us. Basketball was a lot of fun and yea it wasn't a p. day but the young women's were so happy we brought the girls and we got them to church some how. The taller girl in the fotos is 15 and wants to play bball in high school so we were helping her out. And she had to guard me and couldn't at first because she couldn't take me seriously but then I kept pushing her around and then she finally knocked me down haha I was happy about that because she started feeling more comfortable around us. Hopefully we can see them again this week.
It looks like we will have a good week ahead. I am getting much better at personal contacting, so that is good as well. I do think I will probably be transferred too. Transfer calls are in 2 weeks! Time sure does fly. And no body thinks that I am 21 haha. I was practice teaching with an elder from my district and he said we are all the same age 19. I said I am 21 he was super shocked haha my comp said I look 17 so yea... I still don't look old yet.
Our recent convert Brandi, has a friend for us to teach this week!
:) yay and our new investigator Stephanie is still reading the Book of
Mormon but is getting anti material left and right from her friends but
the spirit already testified to her that she needs to read and listen to
us. So it is hard for her but she said she loves talking to us and it
gives her motivation and confidence. So that is good!
Also, last night at the Quintano's we were eating dinner there and
Sanitago was eating chilis like candy and so I tried one and then
everyone else did and we were all dying haha and then my comps were sick
that night haha. But I ate chilis at the trunk or treat so my stomach
was used to it haha but the kids were all crying and the dad is just
eating them like candy. It was funny!
Well toto and jinny were really nice and got me a nice coat and
gloves. I might need my boots but I might just get some here. I am
planning on sending a package home with clothes I don't where and a cd
for chris and some other stuff. So maybe next week I will send it not
sure yet.
Anyways, obrigada familia! TE AMO
