This week...it rained super hard on friday and it rained ALL DAY and we left in ponchos and rain jackets and looked kind of funky. I thought everyone was going to let us in more than usual because it was raining but everyone just kind of looked at us and said ...mañana. haha, and then on monday we were teaching Maria Castro and we were sitting on her sofa across from her and in the middle of the lesson she asked me if my skirt was burning and I was like what? what is she talking about? and I looked down and below me on the ground was this little bowl with this coil thing of incense they use to repel the mosquitos and it had burnt a little hole in my skirt, uhh.....
THEN, on tuesday we were contacting in an area called ELOY ALFARO and we were walking and I was just trying to think of WHERE we should go...and so then we went down this one street and talked to this one lady who didn`t want anything, then we walked down further and there was a woman sweeping outside and all I said was ´oh you´re sweeping!¨ and she called out to her daughter who was isnide and said ´cynthia, le buscan! ´´ and her daughter cynthia came out and they pulled out two chairs. I was so confused! Because there are a ton of people here who are less active so I thought maybe that was it..? but we asked them if they were members and they said no, but that they has always liked the mormon church and we went back the next day and taught them the restauration with a member, gloria chinga, and it was honestly one of the coolest lessons ever, because they payed so much attention and were so excited to go to church! One of the daughters of cynthia who`s 7 came in at the end of the lesson and was like what`s going on? and maria mendoza (who is the mother of cynthia and was the eoman who was sweeping) and cynthia and the other daughter of maria, luz clara who`s 19, were all like we`re gpoing to their church and it`s going to be better and you`re going to have new friends! SO great. Only cynthia ended up going to churc yesterday with her daugter, natasha, and we didn`t think they were going to show up but they did right as it started! Best moment ever. Well, this week the goal is to get all of them to church! Pray for them!!!BUENO; gotta go, CHAO! love you all
