What a week. Holy mackerel. Ok, well, I love you guys! Lots! I have some fat fat news! Emergency transfers! So an hermana that should have been finishing her training the same time as us se fue.... entonces.... I will be moved to San Martin in Chimaltenango. On Saturday or Monday... Hopefully Saturday so I can hurry and meet the members on Sunday. But thats not the point. But there you have it! Imma bounce. I love Parramos, but I fear I got too comfortable. Not comfortable, I didnt get lazy, dont worry about that. I just started figuring things out! And we cant learn if we are comfortable. So Im excited to see what I´m going to learn.
I did bring my camera this week! So thats a plus! You may have more pictures. :)
Hermana Merrell says she loves you. And wants to meet you... really badly....
So a man when we were teaching asked me if there are snacks at church! I think he only wanted to come if there were snacks.. sadly, no. No snacks. But that is something we might want to suggest.
We had a competition as a mission to contact the most people possible with a member present and talking. And well, our zone didnt win. Not even close, but we talked to SO MANY PEOPLE!! So it was still awesome! And in our little companionship we had 73 contacts with members. So we were actually very proud.
Oh yeah, and who´s super rude? This missionary! Because HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!! Sorry I didnt say anything last week! I didnt forget you..or your birthday... I just forgot to say something.
We are loving it here, we have SO many people on the verge of baptism. They just need permission, or a wedding, or sometimes both... But SO CLOSE!! Margarita has a brother that we have been teaching and he´s been coming to church! So They can both be baptized on the same day! As soon as they have permission and she is married. Oh! And I wrote her whole story in a letter yesterday... But I haven´t sent it yet. Maybe next week.
I am super happy about those DearElders you wrote, mom! We got them when we had interviews with President. Oh yeah! We had interviews with President! It was so good! He has a rule that all the sisters have to cry in his interviews.... and Hna Turley said she would buy us ice cream if we didnt cry... yep... didnt win ice cream. I wasnt even sitting and I started crying. Que the heck?! I really did learn a lot though. Something cool that I have been hearing a lot and from my Patriarchal Blessing talks about choosing to be happy in whatever situation. Its so true though. Happiness is not our surroundings. Sometimes we find ourselves thinking we can be happy and relax just as soon as something else happens. But its not true! there will always be something in the way of that happiness. We have to choose right now to be happy. And then we have to do it! And then life is way more fun!
Oh, Uncle Ken! I loved your DearElder! Thank you! You have a really awesome testimony of the Restoration and also you were pretty funny. :)
Ok, that is all for now... but 2 ne 25 is a good chapter to read... also Moroni 7:33-45 (recipe for miracles)
Ok, I will read your emails and send pictures. :) Love you! Be safe and Happy! And have fun at school!
Love, Hermana Evans
