Feels like a movie sometimes

Hola familia! Feliz navidad a todos. Como estan? Esta carta va a ser un poco cortito. Lo siento...

 

Sooooooo the week. Whew. Finished strong. It was raining and we were in el campo trying to find new people to teach. Ask Anna for the details. It was a great night!

O and the title of this letter makes sense when you imagine a movie like the best two years and you watch two sister missionaries walking in the mud with their bikes towards the end of the night singing hymns. Yes?

 

The weather is so upside down I don´t know what to think. We go out and it´s hot hot and then it rains. And then we´re freezing. We were in chilvilcoy last week during the big storm. Don´t know you all heard about that, but trees were falling all over the place, there wasn´t light or water anywhere. We had divisions and I was our with Hermana Miller and everyone was outside because no one had luz. One positive. We talked with a lot of people who probably wouldn´t have talked with us had there not been a storm. The next morning Hermana Figueroa and I were outta there and off to Junin. Exciting!

 

Olga and Omar came to church this week! This not having public transportation thing has got to go.

 

The hardest part about missionary work is when people understand what they are rejecting. That´s what hurts the most. Had a few unfortunte experiences this week that really got to me. Learning that after all we can do doen´t mean we take another´s agency away. Still, I know that every one I talk to is being prepared to hear the gospel and that there is no reason or purpose in ever having disanimo. It´s important, being positive. It´s important that we´re strong and don´t press pause to complain or feel sad. The lord wants us progressing. I know that when we are focused on what is most important- on being obediente- that we will see blessings, even if the world thinks differently. Let´s get to work! Hopefully we´re all being useful around the house during the holidays, helping eachother out? :)

 

Well. I don´t know what to say. I´m still here in Junin with Hermana Figueroa. Next week I´ll let you all know what day and time I can talk to you through skype. Think about your schedules....now sure about the time difference or what day would be best for you all. We´ll see!

 

Love you all!
