Wow. No se porque, pero esta semana fue muy largo. No mucho occurio.
I don't know if I mentioned this last week, but we've been instructed on a new way to teach, using the pictures in the pamphlets and basing the lesson on what they need to know, rather than the doctrine. It's taking a lot of getting used to.
This week was awesome for letters! Gracias! Wow! It was so great to feel your love and support for me!
Ummm... We have a couple on date to be married! (because they're living together, and before they can be baptized, they need to be married) It's so exciting! Haha, it's so funny, though. We prayed about a date, felt it was good, and before we invited them to be married, we asked the relief society president if the building in Mukilteo was available for that night. She said it was, and we told her we'd tell her if they accepted it. We were going to invited them for the date that night... but they cancelled, they had to make an emergency trip to Seattle. So at church last week, when they were making the announcements, Hermana McNeely (RS President) finished, and everyone was like, "La boda en el 21 de Marzo!" and Hermana Andersen and I were like, "Oh dang." Everyone in the branch new about the wedding before the couple!! We were grateful that the couple had to work that day, and didn't have to find out that they were going to married before we even asked then.
But when we invited them earlier this week, they were so excited. Gordito (that's the nickname for one of their kids-you can probably guess why-, and I don't know his real name) can in to be disruptive, and Maria was like, "Gordito, stop. Hey, the missionaries want to marry your Papi and I." and Gordito stopped, looked at us, looked at his dad, and said, "No!" He was so upset, hahahaha.
We had a lesson last night, holy cow. They lived 20 minutes away on our bikes, and it was just pouring down rain. We got there, and we looked like drowned cats. She got us some blankets to use, and she tossed our skirts, gloves, and socks in the dryer during the lesson. It was bad, we were soooo wet.
After the lesson and the yogurt fight that her kids had, she went to get our clothes out of the dryer, and the two kids were talking to us. The older one, who's almost five, was showing me all his owies, and he was like, "And look, I have one on my face!" and I said, "And you brother has yogurt on his face!" and the younger one (about 3?) looked at me in shock, his hand flew to his face, and he said, "Whaaaat?!" It was sooooo funny!! (:
Estoy muy agradecida por esta opotunidad tengo estar aqui, aprendiendo como hablar este idioma, y como yo puede ser la mas mejor que puedo en ayudando la gente aqui. Y estoy muy agradecido que trabajo con la gente latino, porque personas blanco no son muy amable.
Gracias por su apoyo y su amor.
