Wow does time fly!! It has been two weeks since I have gottne back here. Been such a great opportunity to return.
During the past week we haven´t had running water consistantly. So we called the Elder in charge of taking care of all the house problems and last wednesday he and Elder Grange came to our house and checked it out. Then on Thursday we got stuck in our house all day while the owner had the plumber come and fix it. It literally took all day. So that was a bummer, but we have running water in all places now, kitchen, bathroom, and laundry.
But that night on Thursday we had one lesson and it was pretty neat. We hadn´t been able to see these people for a long time, it was my first time meeting with them but it was cool becasue we were going to talk about eternal marriage and the importance for it. The wife is a member but the husband is not. The wife had a dream, in short, about the plan of salvation. And how important families are to the plan. We hope that the husband will think about it and how it is important so that they will get married.
I wasn´t going to share this experience because it wasn´t scary or anything but I didn´t want to freak people out. We almost got robbed. We had stopped on the side of the road under a tree because my companion needed to catch her breath. Don´t ask me why she was walking so fast in the first place. But I guess a motor with a man and a woman on it went past us and then turned around and grabbed my bulto (bag) but it was clipped around my wrist so it wasn´t going anywhere. My companion ran. And when she ran they took off. Nothing else happened. They weren´t being agressive it was fast and really flat out stupid. But for the rest of the day we went to the elders lessons. Oh this was aon a sunday. Sunday was Father´s day here.
Monday we had our district meeting in Tamboril. It was wierd going back to my first area. There was a family there that I didn´t know but they had a little girl maybe 1 and a half. We went into the chapel and sat down and she came to me and wanted me to hold her so I picked her up and held her for a minute. I put her back down but she just wanted me to hold her. It was funny so I just held her until she was ready to go. She was so sweet and quiet. We also had intercambios (exchanges) today and I went to the sister leaders area with hermana Gonzales. She is going home at the end of this transfer. It was nice becasuewe weren´t running around like we were running away from someone. That is how hermana salazar walks it is really funny.
Tuesday we met back up with our normal companions at the mission office. We hung out there for a while talking and talking with hermana grange. I also talked with hermana grange about the lingering problems I have just so she knows. She is going to get me a compression sleeve for my ankle. We also took pictures of the burns to send to the doctors because there are little red dots forming and we just want to see what they are and what precautions we should take. But All Is Well!! We did a lot of contacting yesterday becasue all of our lessons didn´t work out. So we ran home to get some food and water because my companion nor the member we came with us had any money to buy water and I bought them some water once. Then we went to our meetings with the ward.
Today we had a district activity. We watched part of Brave and then we were hungry and paused the movie and went to the store which is next to the church and then we went to our house and made speghetti and then brought it to the church. While we were making the food the elders changed the movie and were watching beauty and the beast so we finsihed watching beauty and the beast when we got to the church. Then we went to the park and played volleyball and then came to the internet center to write! That is where we are at!!
I got a packet at the district meeting on monday. It just had my name on the front so I didn´t know who it was fun. I opened it and inside was a tie and a piece of paper. I pulled out the paper and it was a picture of Elder Delgado. The elder who carried me into the hospital. I literally almost started crying!! He just went home when I came to the mission. I was able to talk with him on the phone before her left because Hermana Grange remembered and made sure that it happened. I am thankful that he was able to help me at that time. He was a good zone leader.
This week has been a good week. Getting better and better everyday!!
LOVE YA´LL!!!!
