I am so happy right now! baby Jake is here! I am so so so happy and loved all the pics! Keep them coming!
What
a week. We had some tough days-one where 7 appointments in a row fell
through, world record! But we just keep going! The heat isn´t as bad as
Texas but the sun is sharp if that makes any sense. I think I can
explain it better in Spanish. haha Angelica and her two sons accepted a
baptismal date! but because of different things we are going to have to
postpone the baptism. If they are not baptized while I am here in Paita
they will be very soon! I am so happy for them and have learned a lot
having the opportunity to teach them!
Well this week we started running again which I love
and am so happy. but the problem is is sometimes we dont have water. I
have really learned to appreciate water! This week I also got called a
¨modela¨ by a little girl. I should have started using my yellow bag a
long time ago. Also this week we saw some people setting up tents in a
run down park. We thought they were homeless people. But then a little
girl ran past us yelling the circus the circus! Hna and i could not stop
laughing because the little girl thought it was the circus. The next
day we were walking by again, and what do you know, a circus tent is
starting be be built! I guess the lesson we learned from this is that
things are not always what they seem! And little kids are usually right.

I gave my third talk here in this branch this week.
Each time it´s easier and easier. I am so blessed to know so many great
people here in Paita. Everytime I think of leaving here it makes me so
sad, to leave all these amazing people I ahve learned to love. But I
will go where the lord needs me to go! transfers are the 30th of december, so we will see!
It is so fun being in the Christmas season and
beinga missionary. This time really is about serving others and about
Christ! I read an article in the Liahona that talked about President
Monson when he was young with a friend and his friend asked, what does
turkey taste like? president monson responded, like chicken. then he
realized his friend had never tried either because of his poor
circumstances. So, president monson went and got his two pet rabbits adn
gave them to him and said, here, have my rabbits, its like chicken too.
Wow I love this story. Of love of sacrifice, about Christmas! In this
time of year I hope we can all sacrifice what we have for the Lord and
serve him! (And this story made me think of poor jumper too..)
Well I hope yall have such a great week! Love you all lots and lots!
¡Hasta Luego!
¡Hasta Luego!
