Wow, all I can say is that the mission life is like a rollercoaster ride. One minute I´m high off the Spirit, walking the streets of Santa Rosa to the beat of the latin music (i mean jk jk I never ever listen to that wordly music), and then the next minute I am on the verge of tears because someones showving a another plate full of rice and onion in my face when my stomach is already about to explode. But it´s all good fun.
Other random stuff:
- "Peace" is "paz" in spanish. But "peace" in english sounds like the word for pee in spanish apparently. So you see where this is going. Yeah I blessed someone to have pee in their life last week in a prayer. I didn`t think I was going to be that gringa missionary, but yes I`m that gringa missionary.
- How to eat a million pounds of rice a day: start by scouping it into the giant bowl of soup that`s a "sidedish" Then just eat as fast as you possibly can so you can't feel how full your stomach is getting. Then pray for help.
- Avocados are giant here. We have an investigator that keeps giving them to me every single time we meet with him. So my backpack is always full of avocados. He also gave me two giant yellow things the other day. The look and smell like giant lemons. My companion keeps telling me they aren`t lemons and they are something else but I can`t remember the other name so they are lemons to me. I wish I was hungry so I could eat this fruit but my belly is always full of rice and mystery meat so rip
- Our sector is made up a part of the city of Santa Rosa and a bunch of pueblecitos as far as a 30-minute busride away. On the way to the farthest pueblecito, there is a lake. There is a legend that a black figure that looks like a man snatches people that walk by the lake and drags them into it. Also apparently the lake has no bottom. My companion does not want to tract near this lake but I told her we have to. I mean, how could we not? I`ll tell yàll how things go...or maybe not.
Okay I don`t have any more time. I love you all. CIao!
