Well, we’ve reached the time… to write.

Dear Family,

 

I and Hna Duarte… are having emotional breakdowns left and right out here.  Well, not so much anymore, but really… one of us was crying like every few days in the last four weeks, but we’ve finally settled down a little and there hasn’t been any crying or angriness for a while.  I think it’s just because we are both so stressed.   Continue reading “Well, we’ve reached the time… to write.”

Sunshine in my sole today…

Sorry again about last weeks email. Not sure what happened.  This week has been pretty good. Lots of little struggles still. We’ve been sent out full field so, we decided to try and get to know all the apartment complexes and streets in the area a little better. So, we walked from one end of our area to the other during the least productive part of the day 12-3 oh wait, also the hottest part of the day. Also because we were going to be walking a lot I decided to wear my ugly sister missionary shoes. Bad idea. I ended up with roughly 10-12 blisters. I am NEVER going to wear those shoes again.

Carne Asada

Hey Family,
So, MIRACLE Luis has a baptismal date. Forever our ward mission leader has been wanting to challenge Luis, and we really haven’t had much of a chance this past transfer. We had only had 2 lessons with him. One about the word of wisdom, and the other was on the doctrine of Christ. In the one on the doctrine of Christ he said he had been thinking about getting baptized but that he still needed more time. Continue reading “Carne Asada”

Bed Bugs Round Two!

Who has two thumbs and is ready for bed bugs round two?
THIS GUY!
So, I don’t have very many positive things to say today, because I am pretty beat, but on the plus side I think I’m going to beat the bed bugs this time and not get kicked out of my apartment. Also, we finally found someone who says they want to get baptized!! He even came to church yesterday 🙂

Temple Visit

Greetings from the oven of the southwest.
Well, I am not sure what to write about and I am extremely limited on time today. Remember how last week I had to split my pday in half because of the temple trip? Well this week it was cut short because of the Spanish specialized training we had this morning. That went an hour over… we also scheduled a lesson for today at 4, but that was our bad.

JUST GET BAPTIZED ALREADY!

How is the street contacting going?  Have you and Hermana Schwartz been working on your baptismal challenges this past week during your companion study?
Ok. I am getting a little better at it. We’ve practiced baptismal challenges but we didn’t even have the opportunity to invite anyone except for Christian… I invited him in the first 5 minutes of meeting him, but he said no. I’m definitely like Rebekah and just throw the cake at people instead of handing it to them on a plate. Continue reading “JUST GET BAPTIZED ALREADY!”

SORPRESA!!!!!!!

So, it’s been an interesting week.  Hna Ellis definitely has a stomach infection or parasites/amibas or something, because she is SKINNY.  And I don’t understand how she and Hna Estrada and Hna Marquez have all had parasites and I haven’t yet because I eat all the same food as my companions.  Hna Ellis thinks at our Multizona that she might have eaten some pink chicken meat that I didn’t, but we’re not sure, because we’ve taken a couple tests and parasites haven’t shown up.  It’s weird.  We haven’t been able to work much this week because of that, and we had a Multizona because Elder Maynes from the 70 came and that was like an all-day ordeal because we went to San Salvador (the other mission) since we did it with the two missions combined, and yesterday we had a Sisters Meeting.
