I love you guys a ton. Just thought youd like to know!
Ok folks, heres the thing, Im going to be honest.... I had a plan to get a six pack in the mission... BUT! Bad news, i like pan dulce... and now I have fat little chipmunk cheeks. There I said it. We were all thinking it. And thank you for not pointing it out from the pics ive sent home... I needed to realize it for myself. I dont have any immediate plans to change this problem... So thats where we are at right now.
OH!! How did i forget?! Last monday we went to Ecuador! Basically.. We went to the embassy of Ecuador or something like that. I understood very little of what went down. Lots of words I dont know. So i just smiled mostly at a grumpy woman and she finally let us leave. There was a problem with the visa of Hna Yepez. So we went to the area office building (accidently got there an hour early because we didnt get lost... (I was expecting to get lost)) and we met lots of people! A few brazilians actually! That are in mission.... uhh... Reu (thats the nickname... who knows what the real thing is called... its a long name) but one was so so black and the other two were so so white. I didnt believe any of them when they told me they were from Brazil.. actually it was awkward, I asked in english where they were from and they would only respond in spanish. Turns out they really are from Brazil.
I witnessed a couple very old women in the native clothes drinking beer a couple days ago... and speaking Kitche I think...
Hna Yepez is very scared of horses and cows... breaking news: They are EVERYWHERE here.
The funniest thing. We found a woman and her husband and began teaching them. Her name is Leticia, she has 10 kids. Why? Ill tell you why. We were all sorts of shocked that she has 10 kids because i havent seen a number that high in a long time. and she told us this. "We are commanded to multiply and replenish the earth, not sit around and eat candy" She has a good point ya know.
A woman told me the other day to keep fooling the people with our message and that its the only true church "according to us". Apparently long ago there was catholic women preaching a bit but they really started a war here in San Martin... I fear some of the people dont trust us because we could potentially cause a war. Dont worry, I would never do a thing like that.
Ok, this week was pretty cool. I sleep like a stinkin rock every single day. We were teaching a girl named Lisbeth last night and we got to her house, we asked if she read her pamphlet and prayed and do you know what she said? She said YES!! And she just said, "Yeah, I know Joseph Smith was a prophet. You asked me to read and pray and I did it... and I got an answer. It was like a fire in my chest, and I know he was a prophet." Holy mackeral. Ella me cae muy bien.
Things are good, Im ruing Hna Yepezs spanish. Haha..... Ah.. Mission accomplished. She is so cute. We made a video yesterday.. it is very very long, but also very funny. And in spanish... so someday when you are watching it you will need a translater.
Ok, rollin out, I love you all lots and lots. and be safe and happy and ADIOS!
Love, Hermana Evans
