Right. So I forgot my agenda at
home so I'm struggling to remember exactly what happened this week. I currently
have a cold and a nasal infection, which are just a joy...It still doesn't make
too much sense to me how I can be sick when its 90 degrees outside, but...
This morning had another panic attack with sights of my new
memory having a virus...
WORD OF ADVICE: DONT PUT YOUR CHIP OR USB IN COMPUTERS
its just not a good idea...just about everything is whether
questionable, and its better to be safe than sorry.....lucky for me, I ran into Elder
Balcaza, who naturally had a few tricks up his sleeve and was able to take all
of the viruses off of my stuff...bad news is that I probably wont be sending
any pictures home for a while or...for the rest of the mission, just to be
safe...
this week I learned the difference between a gallo, a pollo,
and a gallina...
gallos are roosters
pollos are the fat chickens
and gallinas are skinny chickens...
and we eat all of them...who
knew?
the biggest conversation starter out here is to find out whether I'm Chinese, Japanese, or Korean...neither. and when
I inform them that I'm Filipina they start talking about Asian foreign films
like I would totally know what their talking about...I'm Asian but still .... not
THAT Asian ! ha ha
I realized that I know 15 words
in Guarani...trying to remember English, studying Spanish & Portuguese, and
"trying" to remember simple phrases in Guarani, my hea is one big
ZARAMBI (disaster) he he hehe :)
After 10 days of getting a good feel for the area, I really do
LOVEEEE it :) And I love my compie!!! And I'm just doing super good. The people are so humble and
have so much to teach me. A lot of people are receptive, and even if they aren't
ready to make covenants with the Lord, most are willing to hear our message.
My favorite experience was one
I had with Yanice and her family. They are a humble family and don't have the
money to travel to church in the colectivo. But we took an old Pringles can,
decorated it, slit the top and made it a piggy bank. When they saw it they got
all excited and began looking all over for coins...by the end of the lesson
they had collected 2 mil. 2 mil is worth about 40 cents??? but their efforts
and sacrifices are seen by God, and I know that when they are finally able to
get to church, they will feel that overwhelming spirit of the Lord.
The miracle of the week goes to: lunch with familia Vera.
They never turn us down for Friday lunch...we ate very well, and when all the
boys had cleared out of the kitchen and were just sitting quietly with hna
vera, she looked at us, smiled, and shared how they only had 15 mil (3 dollars)
in the entire house, but the Lord made it work. They were able to STUFF 6
people with food! And then looking at our shocked faces proudly showed off the
1.5 mil she still had left over. The Lord will always bless us in
overabundance.
I'm sorry I don't have much to say this week, but just know
I'm doing good. And I hope everyone there at home is doing good too
don't be shy to give me a life
update :)
have good week
