Let Gram and Papa, and Grandma and Grandpa know that they can e-mail me and I can e-mail them back, everyone else can e-mail me, I just print them off and write them back. Anyway as for this week the Hermano that got baptized got confirmed, and we had our neighbors come with us to church, it was really great. They are really funny, but sadly are moving. We still haven´t found a new house yet, and the owner of the house that we are in now is funny...member how I said our shower head caught on fire when I was in there, well we told her and she told us to get a new shower head then her husband would install it. So that is what we did, but out of no where we had a different shower head...that doesn't work. We found out they had taken the shower head from their house and installed it in our house, then they said well what are you going to do with the new one you got (thinking we didn't already know the one they put in was broken). Interesting, interesting! Anyway we just continue to take bucket baths, when we have water. There has been no running water for a few days, it will come on for a bit every once in a while, so we fill buckets up at those times, it is pretty great!
Mom thanks for the recipes! You are the greatest! Would you be willing to send me Grams bread recipe too:-) oh and a zuchinni bread recipe. Creepiest thing ever that honestly scared me, I contacted a bus last week and was giving this man a pamphlet and looked up and he took a picture, I think I even smiled in it...I called president that night because I didn't want some random picture to be out with a lone sister and this man. Yep I have been made fun of for doing it, but I know something would have happened if I didn't do that, and President was great and kind about it. So some man in the city has my picture.
Jasmine flowers are in bloom and everywhere, they smell fabulous! and orchids COVER the trees here, I can´t wait until they are in bloom to take pictures and send them to you! For Halloween the area seventy asked that all missionaries go in at 6 pm. I think it freaked my companion out a bit, she kept wondering what was going to happen. It was really comforting to know that as long as we followed what we were asked to do we would be safe. I have heard different stories as to why, but I will have to share that with you all later. Nothing happened to anyone, so that is the great news. I am thankful for the wards at home. Here is different, their version of huge is tiny...and it is a bit stressful because they use that as an excuse for not knowing people. It is so important to know our Brothers and Sisters in the Gospel, we are here to help each other learn and grow. Like your poem you always say Dad. You have no idea how much I think about that poem constantly! We have decided as a companionship we want to find all the less actives that we can and activate them.
Over all this is an amazing experience! This week was really hard for me, like really hard. Sadly I know it isn't the last of the hard times, but I pray that I will become the best person I can absolutely become! Hey can I get Devon´s address to write him? Well we don´t have an adapter for pictures this week, I will buy my own in the next week hopefully to send the amazing pictures I have. Oh what is going on with storms or something in the states? And let me know about the elections! It is so weird to be in the world but not of it, I never understood that before.
I got some really cool things in Antigua yesterday too, can´t wait to show you all! Know that I love you all, and you are constantly in my prayers! I thought I knew what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is, but it turns out I feel like I know nothing. I think before I was a Sunday Mormon, and I hope right now I can change that. Study Preach My Gospel as a family and work together! I want to be the best member and missionary that I can be. It is amazing how hard Satan fights when you try to do what´s right, and he´ll put you down like no one has ever before, but you gotta keep going! Prayer is the only way I feel like I am getting through it right now, and going out and getting lost in the work by trying to just testify. I love you all, have a great week! Keep me posted on everything! I want to know how you all are doing!
SLY,
Hermana Wilcox
