Hola mis queridos amigos!

Que semana buena y fría!

So I know as missionaries we´re not supposed to swim but with the rain we´re basically swimming in mud here... haha! i remember three weeks ago I bought a pair of boots and my companion told me ¨Why did you buy boots! they´re expensive!¨ and I told him ¨You´re gonna eat your words when i´m happy in boots and you´re slipping, sliding, and fallin in mud.¨ My prophecy was fulfilled this week. Long story short, my companion is buying boots today.

So yesterday it was raining and we were worried that no one was gonna come to church. We even passed by a few people and most of them told us that they weren´t going to be able to attend. So there we were, waiting for a mico bus in the street, wet, and investigatorless. So we got to church and saw the stake president squeegying the walkway cause there was a huge puddle so what did we do? took the squeegy away from the stake president and started squeegying like madmen! That was fun haha some members even started taking pictures of us doing it cause we were doing it really fast and the water splashes were huge haha.

so anyways back to the story, after squeegying we were still investigatorless, wet, and waiting. Sacrament started and BAM Carol moralez got there with her aunt and her grandpa. That made us happy. Then sacrament was passed and BAM the Terán family got there (the mom and three of her kids) we got a returned missionary to sit by them. then the first testimony was given and BAM Rafael Siles (less active that we met this week) and his wife and kids (investigators) came. we sat with them. How wonderful! and they were all there for several testimonies and also to hear the stake president talk. there was also a ton of fellowshiping done... I count that as a great blessing.

I think we found the catch with Maria Rene this week. her member friend Dana fell this week and broke her knee so she can´t really get around and without her we´re not sure how much Maria will want to attend. We´ll see this week. She´s still progressing really well though.

We ate at the familia coca´s yesterday. They just moved to the ward. the brother is a doctor and they´re great. when the sister served the food the first thing she said was ¨I have one rule... you have to eat until you cannot breathe¨... I am so happy that i was fasting... I turned into a human vaccum.

Just another week in paradise! love you all!
