¡Que Bendicion!

HOLA!

AHH. How are you all... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! I thought about you all day! And also, Happy Anniversary to you two! I am eternally grateful for your examples in my life!

So, I am servining in an area called San Andres Itzapa, in Chimeltanango! It is amazing! It is in the mountains so at night it actually gets cold, haha. Who knew.

It is very different than I expected! There are many women walking around in traditional clothes called, Corte. It is amazing! They also carry a bunch of stuff on their heads. I love it. I am determined to learn. We take buses and walk everywhere we go. The busses are hilarious because they STUFF everyone on, like a 100 people, and people are not afraid to just sit in your lap or get up close and personal. I laugh so hard everytime we take the bus.

My companion is Hermana Marroquin and she is from El Salvador! She has only one month left on the mission and she is training me! She talks way fast and always in spanish and we have a lot of fun. She is a super hard worker so I am learning from the best.

 

So much has happened that I don´t even know where to start! One of my favorite moments this week was with this new convert, Candelaria. She is 87 and is THE CUTEST person I have ever met. She is about a head or so shorter than me and has a couple teeth. She cannot see or hear very well, but she is the BEST. She wears corte and I barely ever understand a word she says, but she is so HAPPY! One of the most beautiful people I have ever met. Anyways, so she needed our help making her tortillas and so I learned how to make real corn tortillas! So fun. I will make some for you some time! You would love it. Anywho, Something funny that happened this week was someone offered us some little food thing ....of some sort... and we couldn´t eat it because it was against some mission rule we have, but the person insisted... so....Hermana Marroquin and I had to get really creative and it´s safe to say we were crying because of how hard we were laughing. Hermana Marroquin tried to throw it out of the window but it hit the wall and I had a ¨cough attack¨ and chucked it outside. It sounds rude, but it wasnt...just believe me ))!

 

I never have enough time to say all I want but I just love you! Thank you for all you do for me. Thank you for being who you are.

Love you SO MUCH!!!! Forever and for always!
