okayyyy sorry this is a week late Mom, I swear I´m
fine...just sometimes we pray for help in being exactly obedient, and Heavely
Father will convienently have the power cut a minute after you go over the hour
mark. ha ha ha really though there was a crazyyy storm and the power went out
over the whole city and everything closed. Even GRIDOS, so we couldnt buy any
pity icecream for our terminated pday :( At least the draft got saved so
this is what I wouldve said last week...
Bueno, so this computer sucks which means...no pictures this
week :( que pucha. Anyways...Monday night we got home super late from Posadas
and didn´t have enough time to walk out to our area, so we contacted and got
icecream in centro instead. Woooo! winning combination??? Dulce de Leche con
Brownie, Banana con Dulce de Leche, and Chocolate Suizo (swiss chcocolate!!!!)
yes, it was amazing.
So Hna has a really cool grandma that wrote a book about the
mind. I guess she did this SUUUPER elaborate study about goals, faith, power of
the brain, etc. Anywhooo, during companionship study this week we decided to
try some of it out. We wrote down like 30 characteristics that we want to be a
part of our nature, and then wrote affirmations. Example of affirmation:
"I am happy and grateful now that I am...AWESOME. Thank you. I want it. I
accept it. I have it. I know it is mine." Then before bedtime we read all
of our affirmations and visualize ourselves acting or having that attribute.
"Its like black magic???" - Hna. Martinez
We had divisions and Hna Martinez (Hna Leader) saw the stack
of flashcards on my desk and looked a little skeptical. haha it seems a little
sketchy, but according to grandma Susan we are supposed to be able to get
ANYTHING with the power of our mind. I´ll let you know in...31 days if I´m any
different lol.
So divisions...we thought that since Hna was the newbie that
she would be going with Hna. Martinez, but nope we ended up on splits together,
which was super intimidating because I realized that because my last comps were
leaders I had never had one. I was superrrr embarrassed because I got us lost
the ENTIRE day, and we had to end up contacting ALL DAY. AND EVERYONE REJECTED
US. It was a very very humbling experience. I am now scrambling to learn the
area, because we have been getting some vibes that hna rigtrup and I wont be
together next transfer (which Im actually praying for, because she is hands
down one of my best friends, and I do not want to get sick of her). We have
learned sooooo much from eachother in this past month (i cant believe its
already been a month) and yesterday we had a talk about how everythings been
feeling a little too easy...and how even though its hard, we DO want the hard
things. It´s the hard things that help us to grow, change; its the hard that brings
us down to the lowest of lows, when we truly are able to feel the infinite
power of Him Atonement.
On Wednesday we went to Patricias (investigadora) to learn
how to make...BREAD!!!! When we got there we met her super rude, catholic
uncle, who told us that because Eve ate the fruit, all women are sinners, and
we have no business preaching about God...hate. you. Ugh I had a serious
struggle showing Christ-like love for that man, but whatever, his heart was
harder than a Lamanites...Oh right, so the bread! It´s incredibly easy!!! And
the amount that you make is completely dependent on the amount of water, which
effect the amount of flour that is added...anyway, so when we added 6 cups of
water...we had to add (I stopped counting after) 15 cups of flour. Then once
youre done kneading it it has to rise, so we left to go teach a couple of
lessons, and when we returned that evening....there were loaves of bread
EVERYWHERE. Really though, at least 7...and two more in the oven lolol. It
totally reminded me of I Love Lucy´s "Pioneer Women"
episode..."the recipe siad 13 cakes!" "It says 3 cakes..."
yeah I just realized that probably only Mom is going to think thats funny but
thats okay...anyways, there way so much bread that we got to take an entire
loaf home, and we only made it about 30 seconds outside the house before we
were in the middle of the road going to town on the pan casero. so. good.
We´ve been visiting this lady Maria, and her daughter Mida,
for just about my entire time here and she hadn´t been making any signs of
progress. So we said a prayer before our last visit consulting heavely father
about givcing her a charla fraca, and dropping her. But then when we got there,
they had both read the ENtirE reading that we gave them, and said their prayers!!!
Yay! Maria is still really hesitant about baptism but she says she really does
want to investigate and see if we have the correct church (which means BAPTISM,
because duhhhh we have the true church)
