We are cleaning out and painting our house right now and so I'll send you what it looks like after!
We live with Menos Activos and their little girl Christine is basically our third comp! She is always in our house haha!
We shared the house with four hermanas the past month and lived out of our suitcases. It was so cramped! Especially with our fans haha!
We all showed up with investigators for a baptism and so we took a pic!
Fam!
Last Sunday a member we visit a lot with (Keyra, you know her mom) walked up to us and introduced us to Jose y Edwardo, two jovens who really want to get baptized! It is amazing that the Lord can prepare His people like that. It also is a testimony of how blessings really come from working through members. We visited their home and they are some of the poorest people I have seen. They literally live in a swamp. Like in the swamp. We have to put on these boots to get to their house. It also means about a million more mosquito bites every visit. But it is DEFINITELY worth the struggle! They have a date for this next week, but I think they might be baptized the next week because they have bastante questions.
We also had Hna Reyna come to church for the first time. She was so shocked when we told her it was three hours long haha! ANd then even more when they Bishop's wife invited her to a Stake week celebration thing we are doing that is every day this week. haha, I love how the church really becomes a lifestyle! We are hoping to baptize her the next week too. She always reads the BOM and is really really ready. So exciting!
We also are teaching this old couple that just are in love with us. They are pretty lonely and are only slightly crazy! (most old people are just nutz). We want to get them to church, but they live pretty far, so it's hard. But i know once they are there, they will never leave because they need to family that the church provides. Their names are Diaz y Ibarra. I love them!
Something really great about my comp is that she really likes to focus on the Menos Activos. And there are a ton. We have a Loma called Loma Bonita and basically the entire loma is menos activo. Oh, less active I guess would be English haha. Oh and loma would be hill, whoops, sorry! So anyways, we are trying really hard to reactivate and in doing so, we have found a ton of new investigators! Most menos activos have a lot of family members who weren't baptized, but were investigating. So we are gonna work really hard to get them where they should be (which is in the waters of baptism, the chapel doors, and eventually the Celestial Kingdom).
Funny Spanish story: I keep accidently saying "miembra" trying to say Miembro, but in a feminine form cuz there are so many times when you change the word to be masculine or feminine, but its like a 75% chance when I guess. The problem with this word is that "embra" means female animal. And so saying "mi embra" is like my female animal. And men sometimes call their wives that sometimes haha (ew) so I really need to stop using that word.
Okay love you all with all my heart!!!
