Hey Fam!
So this week had a fun surprise, I went
to Ecuador!! There were 5 other gringas, and well we just had a blast
spending 18 hours together! we left at 5:30 am and got back 11:30.
We went to renew our visas, and now we are legal for another 3 months,
so I think within that time they will send us to lima, so that will be
fun! Anyways, we spoke English basically all day long and it was so fun!
I miss it a little! But Spanish is great too. Hna Johnson and Hna
Harrison only have 2 or 3 transfers left in teh mission, and are sooo
great. I love them so much and we were able to have such a fun day. We
never ate any lunch or dinner, and we were super cramped in the bus, but
we sure had a blast and I didnt even remember I was super hungry! We
crossed the border and Ecuador is pretty great, for the whole 30 minutes
I was there. Reminded me of when we went to mexico for 30 minutes.
hahhaha. When we got back the next day, I kept talking to hna Hualinga
randomly in English! haha mY mind got switched back a little, but now
its back to spanish. :) it was funny, I was borrowing sandles from the
hna Capacitadoras, and I said, ¨Mis feetos están largos.¨.....hahahahha
it was super funny, it means my feet are long, but instead of saying
pies for feet, I said, feetos. ahhahah Thats what 18 hours of english
does to you. But It was a fun day!
Im reading in the beginning of the book of mormno again, and I got
thinking, why didnt the lord command lehi and his family to grab the
plates and ishmael and is family as they were leaving the first time???
wouldnt that be a lot easier? and save time and gas? But as I kept
reading I realized the purposes of the Lord. If Nefi and his brothers
never had had to go back, they would never had received the testimony
they had of the hand of the Lord, and Nefi maybe would not ahve gained
the faith he needed to build a boat! I konqw everything happens for a
purpose, and sometimes the Lords way is a little harder or a little
longer, but its so worth it.
EDDI! he´s the younger brother of Alexis! hes 12 and is like
teaching a peruvian dallin! but a lot shorter.. haha He is JUST like
alexis, knows so much and is so willing to act in faith. I was thinking
too, why could we have taught him with alexis and his mom, and all be
baptized the same time! but the Lord has his purposes and it wasnt until
Alexis was baptized that the heart of his mom was softened. THats just
how it goes sometimes! He was at church for all three hours and loved
it. We are so happY!
So confession. I left 3 times with missionaries to visit people
before my mission. How sad is that??? I need to repent, and I invite all
of you to call the missionaries and go out wiht htem thuis week! they
will lvoe you! Oh and does anyone know anything of LIli? like her email
or soemthing? I wnat to know how she is doing!
There are transfers next monday!
So i may or not be emailing yall here from chulucanas. I know whatever
happens will be what is supposed to and Im already happy whatever it is!
Sorry this email is all over the palceThe
love yall so mcuh!
