HOLA!
This week was super calidad! I got to experience dia de los muertos for the first time!!! It was so much fun!
Basically here in Guatemala they have the tradition of going to their graves and painting them. Then they all fly kites together and eat FIAMBRE. LET ME TELL YOU. Basically fiambre is cold veggies with cold meat. And it is EVERY TYPE of meat and vegetable you can think of. And when they serve it here it is like A MOUNTAIN. We got fed fiambre 4 DAYS IN A ROW. And every time I had to act SOOO PUMPED to eat it when in reality I wanted to throw upppp!
One day we had fiambre in a members house with the other missionarys in our ward and the member left the house for a couple of minutes, and one of the other missionarys,straight up, went and got a plastic bag to throw away the fiambre BECAUSE WE HAD SOOO MUCH!! And right as she did that THE MEMBER WALKED IN ahahhha it was SOOO bad and so funny hahaha
We have been working SOO hard out here that I almost fell asleep during a lesson. It was the end of the day and we had walked all over creation that day so needless to say I almost fell asleep and I got caught hahaha
But really walking missions are NO JOKE. I wake up every morning and my feet are BEYOND sore. I seriously wake up barely being able to walk normal just cause I am sore from the day before!! But it is THE BEST! I would not trade it for anything!
Life is not always easy. Everyone has problems and challenges. But this life is not for us to focus on the negative of these trials. This life is for us to learn how to grow through these trials. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow. See the JOY in this life!!!!
ADIOS!!! Heres to another crazy week in SAN MARCOS GUATEMALA!!!
Con Amor,
