Hey everyone this week was super crazy! We were running all over the place and we were so jam packed (ndirachori) but it was great. Lets get it started with Monday.
So I found last week one of my old converts who after I left really fell away hard from the church. She got into some stuff she shouldn't have and didn't have any support. So I found her and it was really awkward seeing her again. But we set up a time to share on Monday and she gave us the wrong address and so we weren't able to share with her. But igual it was a good day.
Tuesday we had entrevistas with Presidente Hansen. It was super great to see Presidente and Hermana Hansen. I love them so much, they are like my parents and they are so awesome. We didn't get home until about 5;30 so we changed super fast and went to work. But we also had plans to go caroling with a family (Familia Cordero) and so we went to their house with our Santa hats and lights and we were so ready, but the elders thought we were doing something at the church. So we went to go pick them up and we finally got to leave for caroling at a little past 8. So left and wanted to go visit our buddy Ramon. Well when we got there, we got out of the car and Ramon was so happy to see us but his wife walked up to us and was like no I don't feel like this another day.
We were like oh Hermana we are just gonna sing for you and she was like no other day. And then she started yelling at us. She kicked us out of her house and when we tried to leave the car wouldn't start. So she was still mad and we were stuck there. So we had to push the car home like 10 cuadras o sea blocks and it was all uphill so that was a good work out.
Then we were going to drink something cool before we went home and we lost all power in the city. So we had no power. We went to walk home and it was super sketchy because there was literally no lights and we thought someone was going to rob us. But we lived. So then on
Wednesday we had intercambios with Lambare. We had a great day with LOTS of rain. We weren't prepared so we got drenched but we were able to find good people. Then we tried to visit Ramon again because we had a cita with him. His wife instantly came out and started yelling at the top of her lungs and screaming at us and throwing things and threatening to call the cops and chased us off her property and continue to throw things at us until we were like 3 blocks away.
She was yelling at us to never come back and I think we are gonna have to take her up on it. At least for a little while. It is sad because Ramon is awesome and super ready but ever since his wife came back he has been miserable and never smiles anymore. But its all going to work out one day. God has a perfect plan. But poor Hermana Revatta has 3 weeks on the mission and was scared to death almost in tears.
On Thursday we went to lambare to finish their intercambio and went straight to Pinoza to have one with them. I was in Fernando with Hermana Lefler and we made Sopa Paraguaya for the end of the year dinner here. We were also able to work hard and find new people and it was good. Hermana Lefler is super awesome and we get along really well. She is a great missionary.
But Thursday night we had a bunch of calls because we had another companionship that had a huge fight so Friday morning we went to Pinoza and finished intercambios and I also was hanging out of the colectivo it was so busy and I burned my arm because he shut the doors on my arm (side story jaja) and we tried to find a taxi to go to libertad. Well all the taxis were on a manifestation so they weren't working that day. So we didn't know what to do because we had to have emergency intercambios with the Hermana's. I said a prayer and a taxi from San Lorenzo came flying past and I waved it down and he was willing to help us! Such a blessing. So Friday we got to Libertad and we had to plan and do studies with them. Hermana Fife was stressed out because she had never had to do any of that before but this isn't my first rodeo and we had to have a punto 13 o sea therapy session with the Hermana's so we could talk about their problems. It was good and we are hoping that they can start to communicate better and everything will work out.
But by the time we finished and got back to our area we had to do weekly planning and then we left at 6 to work. Well we were able to find one person super awesome and then help our family we are working with go to the end of the year dinner at the church.
It was super fun and the food was super good. The kids put on a little show of the birth of Christ. It just reminded me of Skyler when he was little (there is no room in the inn!) Everyone needs to go to my house and watch that family video! But it was a good night and I was finally back with Hermana Fife. I had missed her so much. Saturday was the first time we got to work a full normal day to work. And we were able to share with lots of people. It was good day! Cinthia told me she wanted to name her baby after me so that was super sweet. Sunday was great and Cinthia and Jorge her kid came to church. It was so cute and they had a great time. Then Sunday it has been super hot lately so we were melting but it was a good day. We found people and talked with everyone. Today we are gonna have our district activity and so we are gonna go play sports and bowl! It is gonna be super fun and Hermana Fife and I have made bets to who is going to win! Its gonna be me jaja.
This week was great and I learned how important it is to communicate. I love Hermana Fife so much and I am so grateful because we get a long great. There has been so much drama lately and so I know that if we just communicate, we are so much happier, with our companions, our family, our friends, and our spouses. I love everyone!! Keep the chins up and Fam cant wait to skype you next week!! Its gonna be so much fun!!!!!!
To Heaven and Back!
