Hey all!!
This week has been up and down, but learning all the time.
Thursday was a long day. We did weekly planning and then went and talked with Hermana Grange to try to fix some problems with her help. It was a good talk. We only had one lesson that day with an investgator named Sara. She is visiting from Mexico but is learning, understand, and going to church. She is really sweet.
Friday we had a service project in Tamboril. The HEFY groups that had been coming throughout the summer we building a clinic in Canca. Canca was the furthest part of our area when I was in Tamboril. It was a good service project. They were done building and just beginning little touches. It was hot and I was drenched in sweat. We were throwing dirt through a big mesh board to make sand for cement. It was a good workout my back was tight for the next few days. We were sitting in the shade taking a break and I look over and I see two people coming in the enterance. It took me a second to recognize them, but as soon as I did, I ran like a little kid to give Hermana Miguelina a big hug. She was soo excited to see me!! It was soo awesome!! Then we can home got cleaned up, I was literally covered in dirt. Then we walked a ways from the house and visited with Paola. She is an investigator and she made me teach the lesson. Just me she is so dang funny, 19 years old and I don´t usually say much so that is why she made me do the whole lesson it was a challenge but in the end she understood it all. Then we had a few more lessons to finish out the day.
Saturday was a day I was afraid of because Hermana Salazar went to the temple early this morning and I stayed in our area with a member, the member who was the mini who took my place after I got hit. I was afraid that all of our plans would fall through, which most of them did, and that it wouldn´t be a good day, but in the end it all worked out.
Sunday we left church early because Hermana Salazar wasn´t feeling well. Then we went and had lunch at the house of the Bretón Family. They are awesome!! The food was great. We went with the elders and on of the elders is in training so I tend to be his translator when he can´t understand but I wait until I see the I am dying look on his face before I say what they said. Then we had a few lessons to finish the day out.
Monday was a good day we had all of our lessons and ended with a being apart of a big family home evening with the elders there were maybe like 5 or six families there. It was a good time. We talked about things that help make a happy family like faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. We shared experiences and had snacks afterwards. It was hard to share what I wanted to say because we do crazy things in my family, but memorable.
Tuesday was a great day. All of our plans worked out we got 2 references. We had our meetings with the ward and then we went to a Pica Pollo for dinner. Me, Hermana Salazar, Elder ramirez, and Elder Faalogo. We usually don´t get to do anything for P-day eve because we get stuck in the meetings for a long time. It was fun. Then came back to the house and washed some clothes and then went to bed.
Today I got up and washed some more clothes and then we got ready and went to the mission home so I could get some help with my toes. He told me to do what I have already done and know. But going to do it again and if it still gives me problems then I will got back. It was fun to see Dr. Reagan and his wife again the last time I say them I was in the hospital here. Hermana Reagan didn´t recognize me it was funny. Then we went to the park and played volleyball with the elders of our district. We have to got and clean our house because some sisters are staying at our house tonight.
I am just going to share a quote.
Your Father in Heaven knows your name
And knows your circumstances
HE HEARS YOUR PRAYERS
He knows your hopes and dreams
Including you fears and frustrations
And He knows what you can become
THROUGH FAITH IN HIM!
I love you all!!
Be Good.
Todo Bien!!!
Hermana Buchanan
