I miss you all like crazy!! I hope you are all doing well and I cant wait to talk to you next week. Its kinda rediculous.
So about my week....
Monday I had been working all week to memorize the invitation to baptism and last monday we had an oncè appointment with Tania Marcos and Christian. And you will never guess it but they said YES!!! I at first was like wait... what?? Did I hear that right... But I did and they have a date for 18 Mayo. We will see if they actually pull through but hey its a start right? We think christian has a pollola or girlfriend which in laymans terms means that he has problems with the law of chastity. NOOOOOOO but we will continue to prepare them this week. We also have 8 other investigators but none of them are progressing or keeping commitments. Which is hard but we will contine to help them. We found new investigators Denise and Christian they are taking lessons from the jehovas witness missionaries and us and I think they are going to stick with us. They love the book of mormon and are progressing to read it. We are preparing to ask them to be baptized this week and They could easily do it. One rule in our mission is that investigators have to attend church 3 times before they can be baptized. But I think it is a great rule.
So like the subject of my email says I am bug food. For the past week we have gone to bed and we think our matresses are infested with bugs. We cant sleep at night because we can feel them crawling all over us. We wake up with bite marks. I have about 47 just on my legs. IT IS TERRIBLE. They itch and look like giant mosquito bites. I sleep in my sleeping bag too which is very odd. We did a giant clean out today though and beat out our matterases and hopefully that does the trick. All the members joke that gringo blood tastes better and that is why I am being eaten. But I seriously love being a missionary. I really really really lucked out with my trainer. She is seriously amazing. She is the perfect balance of fun and following all the rules and very patient with me and my spanish. She helped me memorize the first vision by whenever we were walking we would say it outloud. I now have it perfect. She is so so so so so good.
One member here her name is hermana marisol she has become my chilean mother. She takes such good care of us. Whenever we have a bad meal she brings us or makes us meals so that we are always well fed. She is also the one to give us the vacume to clean our apartment. Mom imagine a house that had not been vacumed in a year. Ya that is what it was like A TOTAL DISASTER. But with the vacume and scrubbing quite literally everything down we are now great. She also gave me medicine for the bugs. Oh I just love hermana marisol she reminds me a lot of a chilean version of mom. She is short and says the funniest things. I thank heavenly father for hemana marisol.
I love you all so much!! I cant wait to talk to you next week! have a great week!!
