I’m getting out into the world this week! It’s
pretty exciting! So some news about this last week: My district sang in devo
this week. They’re pretty great at
singing... just saying. It was pretty much amazing. We went contacting again this week and we
went to like more house looking houses this time. The area def had more money, but I loved both
the areas the same. The people were good. I can definitely see that door knocking doesn’t
do much good.... it’s all about the members! So you members! Get out there and
work with the mish in your area! Seriously, get to it! –I’m going to super miss
my Hermana... I’ll miss them all, and I don’t have a clue about what my
companion in Panama will be like, so I have to enjoy being with a great friend
and missionary while I can! Hermana Canfield
is the best comp! It’s like having a great work out buddy, food sharing
partner, and hardworking missionary chica tied to my hip all day long. For those that don’t know, companions can’t
leave the room without the other. We
have to be together and in sight of each other at ALL times! (except for el
bano, thank goodness,... haha). My companions
have been great so far. My traveling
comp this week will be Harmana Kistner again! Yay! I love her so much! We definitely
knew each other before this life. Just sayin...-- So funny story... We were
teaching an investigator (meaning one of our teachers, Hno. Cuque) and my comp
tried to say ‘is it alright if we kneel for the prayer?’ and she swears she didn’t
say it, but our teacher heard the word for to
urinate.... and she made it reflexive... and then I proceeded to say ‘on
our kneels’. ... so pretty much he
started cracking up and told us later what she said. It was hilarious. Yikes yikes.-- So I have to
put in a great word for my amazing teachers!
Hna. Chaves was so intense at first, and she loves to make fun of one of
the Elders in our district. I love her!
She makes us work and her stories from her mish are strengthening and
realistic. Hno. Mandez is a great teacher! He is so patient with us and he
knows how to explain things to us simply, clearly, directly and how we Nortes
would understand. He also keeps us in
line. Hno. Cuque is absolutely
fantastic. We all love him a ton! I think he got back from his mish just a
month before working here. He served in
Lima, Peru. He has seriously saved my sanity a few times while I’ve been here. He’s
really sensitive to how we feel. He has
a great energy and passion for this work.
He laughs at us all the time and he has an adorable smile. He just cracks us up and lifts us up. All of our teachers really care about this
mission thing, like a lot. They are great
role models and I wish I could fold them up and stick them in my pocket and
take them with me into the field. -- Not much more time left!!!! I’m sure I’ll
have tons for next week! Panama, here I come!--Love
you all!!!!!!
