HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL YOU WONDERFUL DADS OUT THERE!!!! YOU ARE ALL SO AMAZING!!!!
Where did this week even go?
So Monday was a holiday and it was the first day we got to chill. But only for a few hours because there was so much other stuff to do. We cooked together and it was super good. We also tried to make no bake cookies but it exploded on our stove and we just ended up making a mess jaja.
On Tuesday I had my first intercambio as an Hermana Lider. It was super fun. I only went to the other side of Oviedo but it was fun to be able to learn from the other Hermanas and to see different parts of Oviedo.
On Wednesday, wow Wednesday was hard. We said goodbye to Presidente y Hermana Wilson.
We had a big meetings in Asuncion and we got to watch Joseph Smith and the Restauracion video. It is one of my favorite movies. We learned a little bit about the new mission presidente, Presidente Hansen. But then Presidente gave his testimony and we sang God be with you till we meet again. And lets just say I cried...a lot...a lot jaja. I love Presidente so much. He is such an amazing person and he has helped me so much on the mission. I am going to miss them sooooo much. But I know Presidente Hansen will be great too.
Thursday we planned for our week and we got to work. The problem was that there was, well it seemed like there was no one. No one wanted to let us in. All of our plans fell through. We confirmed all the appointments we could and even those fell through. The thing is, is that its winter here and its surprisingly super cold, so no one wants to leave the little fire they have in their shack of a house to keep them warm. But I wish they would let us in so we could be warm too jaja.
Friday we had another intercambio. So this time I went to Caácupe. Caácupe is the capital of Catholics and so it is a bit of a rough area because the Catholics who live there are not very nice to Mormon mission, at all. So we tried to find new people to teach and it was very very very cold outside. Needless to say it was a very long day but we were able to find good people. Also needless to say we were thrown out of a few houses jaja.
I also hit 10 months on the mission. Time has flown by so fast and I dont like it. I feel like just yesterday I got here and now I am close to a year. No I refuse! Saturday we finally got back to Oviedo but with only a few hours to work. Its sad because we are always traveling we hardly have anytime to work in our area. But we were able to find some good people. There is this lady named Angela. She cant walk or get up from her bed. The Hermana's found her on Intercambios. She is really sweet. We passed again Saturday and she is so sweet. She accepted a baptism date. I am so excited to see her progress.
Sunday it was very cold again so there was hardly anyone at church. Hermana Robinson and I were the only women in Relief Society for a good 30 minutes until 2 others sisters came and we had a little class in the sun. It was still cold jaja. But what was really cool is that during class there was a family that walked into the church and they looked like investigators. Si we went to go talk to them. But when we saw them we were in shock because it was Familia Hamilton!!! From Fernando de la Mora, my first area. It was so good to see them again. They told us all about Fernando and how everyone was doing. It was funny because the last time we saw them we were together, Hermana Robinson and I and now we are together again. They were in Oviedo to visit family for Fathers Day. It was so good to see them. Its been crazy here but everyday
I am more and more grateful for the chance I have to serve the Lord. This is His work. This is His church and the blessings we receive are gifts and the love He has for us. I love each and everyone of you. Till next time!!!!
