Week 13: It still hasnt rained

Hello Everyone! 

This week was a little frustrating but still great. The daughter of our breakfast pensionista got married this week and we were invited to the wedding. Super fun. One of the assistants in the office is the "son" (was trained by) the groom so they went too. We just went to the ceremony. They told us it started at "diez en punto" but really it started at like 10:40. Needless to say, people are not punctual whatsoever here. 

 

 

 I have been teaching English classes with my companion on Fridays to try and find some new people to teach. It is way fun and also kind of embarrassing when I forget the alphabet in English.

Yesterday was kind of discouraging because it was the last day in the week and we realized that the week had been kind of lame. But Angelito read us a scripture and gave us a little pep talk. He reminded us that the work of the Lord is a perfect work and that if we give everything we have, we will see miracles. Even though we didn't really meet our goals this week, we decided that this next week is going to be bomb-tastic (really good). I am grateful for new days where we can try harder and work harder. 

 

I know that Missionary Work is not just for missionaries. And that sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is so important. I wish I could have been at the family reunion but I am so old that none of the little cousins remember me anyways haha. Love you all!
