Well not to much happened this last week. We found out the other day that we would have e-mail today and not tomorrow or later on in the week since we have the mission Christmas get together tomorrow! We get to go back to the temple! Since we have to leave our area at 3 tomorrow morning, the rest of the 4 sisters in our zone will be having a sleep over at our house, which means tonight I will be leading one companionship around tonight on splits and my companion will have the other companionship.
We found Churros about a month ago, but they come and go. They are no longer here, but we had them twice while they were and Holy Smokes! Churros here are different, and so good! After you order them they put some sugar on it, and then you choose between carmel, condensed milk, chocolate, or syrup to put on top of it! Delicious! It is a good thing they left, but they are SO good. We have smelled them when we are walking down a certain street, but we haven`t found where they are yet. Then the beans here are so tasty too. I don`t know why I haven`t told you about them before. Our cocinera has made a few little batches for us to take home, this last time I have been sick so I haven`t been up to eating any.
So Kerri Wadsworth e-mailed me last week and I didn't get to answer her in my e-mail. Tell her thank you! And it is the same address. The buses here are terrifying enough! I can honestly say I hate their driving here, but from what I understand the driving here is calm compared to other countries in Central America!
We had a little tremble this week, my companion didn`t even feel it. Now though everytime we have one we are supposed to call in. I still have a feeling something big is coming, I just don`t know what or when.
So I don`t think I told you this already, but we have a family that got re-baptized...long story, but it was in I think May. Anyway they have since gone inactive again because of some things that have gone down in the ward. Anyway we found out who the family was that was giving them grief, and we happened to see them on the street the next day. They had been acting kind of weird around us, and we understood why when we found out. So we stopped to say hello and see how they were, then asked if they would be willing to have a Noche de Hogar with a menos activo familia in the ward. They said sure who is it, then we looked at each other and said Familia Huinil. Their faces were HILARIOUS! I wish I would have had a way to record it. Then they said (very frantically) oh we don`t even know who that is, (Turning to eachother) do you know who that is?! I don`t know who that is, what is their names again? Then we repeated, and they said are you even allowed to come to the other side (our ward is divided between the Elders and us, but we have permission to do things like that). It was pretty funny, and made us chuckle! We also had a member call this week with a reference. He is awesome! His name is Oscar, and he is from a smaller pueblo in our area. The member has been giving him Liahona`s and such, and he just seems very excited to learn more! We are going to go teach him and his family this week. So more to come on him!
Then last week I had felt kind of sick all week, but it was fine, then Friday we went to the city and back and I had been doing pretty well. But then it really hit me hard. I hadn't been able to eat anything all day that day except for sip on a sprite, and soda crackers. Then my back and my stomach seized up and I was having a really hard time moving. I got a blessing, and then I was on the toilet for a while. Embarrassing, but hey. Our Zone Leaders told me that we should probably go on splits, since we couldn't get a hold of Hermana Brough. So we did and I went with our cocinera and another sister in the ward went with Hermana Treviño. Anyway, they had all of these remedy things to give me. One was a children's chocolate medicine, I drank that and two seconds later (literally) I was on the toilet with what we like to call BOO and green throw up filling a garbage can. It was bad. I like to say I have Enemigos in my stomach. I don`t like them. But I am getting better! Word spread like wildfire that I was sick, and then someone spread that they had to rush me to the hospital, which was not true, but funny to find out.
Also 4 weeks ago Hna. Treviño and I found this lady named Nancy, that we knew was going to be baptized in 3 weeks, sure enough she was baptized last Saturday, sadly she was on the Elders side, but she would save lots of questions to ask us on Sunday`s, it was kind of funny.
Anyway sorry it`s so long again, but here are some pictures! Love you all, and I am so excited to talk to you in 15 days!!! Hope the Christmas season is treating you all well! And I`ll have more information on the calling thing next week! Also will you keep Hna Treviño's Dad in your prayers for me! He`s having a really hard time with health problems. Well Love you all! Have an amazing week! I pray everything is well with everyone, since I didn't hear from anyone this week. Stay strong, and keep smiling!
