As for
this week, yep I have a new comp! Hermana Martinez from Honduras.
(Tegucigalpa, not san pedro sula...) She is a little fireball, quite the
personality! She´s been out almost 6 months. It´s been fun, but
definitely a lot of work, as I had been with my last comp so long and we
new the area. One thing I have learned during the mish is that example
is more powerful than anything...so this traslado [transfer] I hope I can be an
example of obedience and positive attitude. But we are adjusting. She
told me I look fatter in my pictures before the mission...jaja I don´t
know about that. Latinas are funny at times. We have already made a trip
to the hospital with her, so we will see what other excitement this
transfer brings.
Yesterday President Giuliani came to santa fe for a fireside for
recent converts and investigadors. It was really good, our investigador Marcos even came. Well it was all good, until president drove us
home...and we got lost and it took forever. Stinking one way roads...how
embarrasing, as I was giving directions. jaja.
It´s funny how much the decisions and lives of other people affects
you as a missionary. Like if they are happy and progressing, you are.
Their problems are your problems. I tried explaining this to an elder,
but they just didn´t get it. So I don´t know if it´s a women thing or
what. But we were able to have some good lessons, and even teach with
the members. Why can´t everyone just accept the gospel! The world would
be so much happier! Stinkin agency! kidding. kidding.
Yesterday I had one of the most delicious meals in Argentina. It
was the birthday of a nephew of a member, he cooked a meal fit for
america. There was raviolis with a creamy green sauce, and this chicken
stirfry stuff that had grapes and peaches and fruit with the
veggies...so unlike anything I have seen here. We even had real, hot,
peppers. mmmm. Flavor. Unfortunately, my comp doesn't like fruits or
vegetables. No joke. I´m trying to prepare her for life.
I´m glad to hear about JaNece, I had a dream the other day that she
was smoking and inactive. That´s right, smoking. I woke up and it was
the most real thing ever...jajaja. This mission has given me psycho
dreams. And zach is getting married??! And ethan in high school? holy
cow.
Happy birthday Jacob and Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!
I like
what you said about missions mom. It sure makes me think about life in
the future someday. Not in a trunky way. But really I am seeing how God
allows us experiences to expand our perspective, set priorities, and
really develop a foundation for the rest of the life.
Well anyways, I hope everyone is good. I´ve already learned that no
one tells me if they are not doing good anyways...I always just get the
good stuff in the letters.
But have a fab week!
love, hermana andrews
