So. This week like every other was kind of crazy. Tuesday we had interviews with the Presidente and a training. We had to be at our stake center at 1 so we got there and were studying and filling out a paper for our interview until like 3ish and then we started the capacitacion ( training) with the APs and Hermana Lideres and that was good then we got to do interviews. First we went in as a companionship and he just asked aobut our goals and numbers then he interviewed Hermana Aguilar and then me. The first thing he said was that my spanish was really good! I said the opening prayer for our interview as a companionship. He was really imipressed. And really I have been so blessed, I can communicate really well not perfect and sometimes I still struggle but to look at where I was and where I am it is really good. The gift of tounges is so real and Heavnly Father has blessed me so much I can understand and speak and express myself even! Its so cool! Then we just talked about the kind of missionary I want to be and how I am doing. It was all really positive and happy! That's good. And then he gave me carrot cake! thats good too :) So then we finished the training and by then it was like 7:30! Some other leaders were there for 12 hours! holy cow! so we got to visit one person before we had to walk home.
Then Wedneday was wednesday and Thursday we had divisiones (exchanges) With the Hermana Lideres I went with Herman Morales (from Uruguay) to her area and the other came here to Molino. It was really good, It was really rainy but really fun. She is so sweet and loves to talk and laugh. Their area is really small and they have a kind of out in the middle of no where part that is dangerous at night so we contacted on the main road and ate Lomitos (there's a picture of me and her and our lomitos) Then the next morning we changed back and it was a chilly morning and we were waiting for them to meet us, and we had chipa for breakfast. But it was cool, I gained a greater appreiciation for my companion and our area and really you can never compare everything is so different.
Thursday ya paso...Friday tambien
Saturday okay so we were contacting a street and clapped at a house and an older lady came to the gate and said she was with her mom and she was catholic and her mom she said was some other weird religion (she said it like that) and in my head I was wondering what religion it could be. But she said we could come in and share a lesson. So we went in and there was her mom in a chair drinking mate and she looked 80 something and we were talking and then we sang a hymn and then she asked what chrurch we were with again and she said oh los mormones! yes. She said the elders had come a few times but freaked out when she prayed ( and again I am wondering what religion she is because she said they said no no you cant pray like that, or something like that ) well we ask if we can pray and we do then we talk some more about religion and she says she is pentocostal. And in my head I was trying to think of the things I knew about that religion but I couldn't remember. Well I found out. I guess when the feel the spirit they like to scream and shout. It scared me so bad the first time. and they she was talking about some really wierd stuff. And she would scream every now then then and I was looking to my comp like, we need to go this is going no where but she kept giving the lesson... yeah. This lady was talking and talking and would not stop. but finally we ended and asked if we could pray. She said she could pray and then her daughter was like well I only have a few minutes I'll just go. Apparently they pray for a looooooooong time and its really weird and thats why the elders were freaking out. But luckily I just prayed and she shouted during the prayer ooo it was odd. So yeah that was that experience haha. And all the catholics here are a little really catholic right now because in a few days the Pope is coming and they all have to prepare and be really catholic so thats fun.
Then it rained and not very many people came to church and its been pretty chilly lately and so we wake up and our house if freezing AND we have no hot water to shower with! Our heater thing broke or something so the first day I showered in cold water ooooo wow yeah it was cold then today I boiled a ton of water on the stove and put it in buckets haha much better. And today we went on an adventure to Capiata because yesterday was the birthday of Hna Lundberg! So we went to her area for a party with a few other sisters. It took a while but we did it and made it back in time! Woo, all those visitng areas of my other compaions payed off! We went to the same house we went to with hna Betancourth! So lucky. And yeah I think thats all for now. I love you all so much!
Until next week!
Love hermana Sarah
