last week i splurged and bought Trix cereal. here, it still exists in the fruit shapes. my childhood lives on!!!
i discovered our windows are doubled (forgot the word in english). theyre only royal blueish mirrors from the outside, but inside we can see out perfectly. makes me feel a lot better about changing! haha.
they squeeze lemons for salad dressing
salad here doesnt mean lettuce with toppings. it could mean a chopped cucumber, or a tomato, or shredded carrots.
i had my first peach brain juice! its a delicacy, where they cook the peach a certain way, and it sits on the bottom of the cup, and looks like a little brain. but way good! kind of cinnomony. (from a restaurant dont worry)
pepto bismol doesnt exist here. or advil. so... yeah.
one of our investigators sons (age 2) was playing with a machete as tall as he was. talk about training warriors. :)

Elder Cribbs, one of our zone leaders, remembered we had a baptism and asked us how it went. nice to have leaders that care!
dia de mexico! hna ancalle fixed the MOST delicious food, and ive never seen hna cruz (half mexican) so happy! it warmed my heart, la verdad. :)
didnt have shin splints this week!
i recieved a letter from bradley miller!
i have some real quality people that care for me here in the mission, and they came out this week (Hna Routsong, Hna Cruz, Hna Ipanaquè, Hna Ancalle and her family, y Elder Cribbs/Elder Pachas.).
i learned how to incoorporate baptism into lesson one from hna routsong during intercambios. shes the greatest!
hna routsong said i was one of her best friends in the mission. <3 i seriously have so much love for her, im sad shes dying this cambio. :/
when people can recognize my desires to serve and love my investigators
saw hna cicotte and elder wilstead (from my CCM district) at migraciones! so good to see them. talking with hna cicotte lifted my spirits a ton
bus came right when..... i needed it
veggies at dinner! oh how i miss vegetables, and how how i savor them when theyre put on my plate!
hna ipanaquè and i were the only ones who remembered hna fidelia´s birthday. she was touched. so glad we were able to help her have a better day. z3
hno humberto (the bolivian equivalent of zack ludlow) got baptized! he was our investigator, but we realized he wasnt in our area, so we gave him to the elders to teach. hes got a strong testimony!!!
the dog in our neighborhood with rabies wasnt there one day that we passed by. dont know where it went but hey im not complaining. :)
yesterday we didnt have cars again. i saw a dad walking, holding his daughter (2 years maybe) hand. she was riding a skateboard (standing on it) and he was holding her princess umbrella for shade. oh, the little moments touch my heart the most sometimes!!
i was able to recieve a blessing yesterday. the priesthood is REAL; dont doubt it for a second.
hno franklin walked with us for security wise. and while we walked we answered more of his questions. hes scared to be baptized bc he doesnt know everything, but man does he have a desire to learn and hes just golden!
we found hna yoseline!!! shes one of the people from last week who said she wanted to be baptized. she works late a lot and her brother doesnt want her to be baptized &does all he can to stop her, BUT, as always, God wins. :)
today the zone leaders sacrificed the first couple hours of their pday to help translate for me at the doctors. christlike service right there.
so, yes, i mentioned i was sick. but have no fear, i have my medications and i should be good as new in no time. :) in my blessing, i was promised by my heavenly father that with time i will be healed. among other things. i have firm faith that whatever happens, it is His will, and i know that i will be healed. all i need is patience. :)
ive mentioned before i love my companion. but let me just tell you that this week, i grew SO MUCH in my love and appreciation for her. she has served me in SO many ways this week and weekend. from helping me take off my shoes when i dont have the strength, to little back scratches, to tucking me into bed, to putting her arm over my shoulders and physically helping me through the day... oh, the christlike love and service she has shown me. she has been so uplifting, and not just physcially. she has done her best to make me laugh, and smile, and be positive. she said that shes just trying to show me a part of the love i show her everyday, and that she knows how she felt when she was sick. in all meaning of the word, she is my milagro and especialmente este semana. <3
tender mercies from the lord, is all i can say. i dont doubt or feel alone for single second. whatever happens happens. i know He is with me, and supporting me the entire way. <3
i love you all and have a great week!
john 10:17-18 one of my all time favorites. they didnt take His life. He GAVE it. for US.
D&C 127:2
3 nephi 15:9, 17:7&10, 17:20-24
as you can tell, ive been focusing on christ this week and his sacrifice &love for us. its incredible to me how much love He has. <3
