This
week has been pretty good! Yesterday we found out about transfers, and
my companion and I are staying together. Which is good, so she can finish my
training. And we get a long really well. I also feel like I am starting
to really understand Spanish! I can usually understand almost everything.
Like, we had a lesson with a less active family my first day here, and
I couldn`t understand anything, really. And we just had a lesson with
them this week, and I could understand almost everything! There are
still some people who I can`t understand. Like, people who don`t have a
lot of teeth...
We did service for a family this week. And I`ve come to learn
that "service" really means clearing fields of plants and grass with
machetes... But if that`s what they need, we can do it!
Not
last Monday, but the one before we had exchanges. I don´t think I
talked about it last week. It`s where we change companions for a day
with the sister training leaders. So I went with Hermana Flores to her
area and had lessons with her investigators, and our companions were
together in my area. It really was fun and I learned a lot, about how
other areas are and how other missionaries work. Because I had only
really been with my companion.
I`ve been a little sick since Saturday night. Well, pretty
sick. I`ve had a lot of pain in my stomach/intestines and...bathroom
problems. I went to the hospital last night. It smelled like a pool. The
doctor said it wasn`t a parasite or anything, because I don`t have a
fever and haven`t thrown up. He said it is from the change in my food,
coming from the US. Specifically, I have been eating too many FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES! So I got a shot in my butt for the pain, and a bunch of
nasty medicine to drink.
My doña de casa, Hermana Lily, has been really worried about
me. She takes good care of me. And she told me that she wants to be
sick, too, so she can lose weight. She is ridiculous. Haha.
Dang shot in the rear! Not fun. Keep up the hard work, we are so excited for you hermana!
