Week 33: FELIZ CARNAVAL!!

Hola Familia!! Que GOZO es carnaval!!

This past week we celebrated carnaval. I honestly couldnt tell you what it is but basically everyone walks around throwing water and eggs at everyone hahaha!

 

So this past pday I was trying to call my family on a pay phone, and I forget the number of my sister kennedy but I just guessed and I expected to hear kennedy but someone named silvia answered hahaha! I introduced myself and told her I was in guatemala then hung up hahaha! SORRY SILVIA!!

Then I got sent to REUUUU for 2 days cause my comp went on a trip to GUATE.

So when we got back to San Francisco we went to go visit one of our really positive people we are teaching. We walk up to her house to find her SINGING /CRYING to a DIFFERENT PREACHER and I was just speechless hahahah! It was the worst moment hahah! I felt like I had just found out I got cheated on or something!! Needless to say we stopped visiting her. 

Then we did intercambios with the hermana assistants to president!! I got to be in my area with hermana Miles!! She is going home in 3 weeks! I had my first intercambio with her when I only had 2 weeks on the mission, and it was so cool for her to see how much progress I have made! 

There are a bunch of distractions during lessons. We were teaching a lesson and this rooster kept trying to JUMP ON MY LAP and I was so grossed out and I couldnt just kick it away cause I was teaching the owner!!! So i had to keep a straight face while teaching with the rooster jumping on my lap! SO HORRRIBLE ahhaha I make SO many sacrifices for the people I teach hahaha!

 But this week was an eye opener. The seed of Abraham (all of us) has been promised that each one of them will have the opportunity to hear the restored gospel. Each one of us has had or will have the opportunity to accept or reject the gospel of Jesus Christ. But no one will force us. The invitation is there for every child of god, "come, follow me." Its the most humble invitation. But he cant make the decision for us. Choose Christ. 

Con amor, gozo, y ANIMO
