FAMILY!!!
I emailed on Thursday so not much to say but we got some new investigators who are AMAZING!!! Carlos and Sarah are their names. Carlos's daughter was taught by the missionaries before so we went to find her but she had moved out so we are standing on his porch and I'm like, "welp here is a Book of Mormon". I explained all that good stuff about it and we invited him to read the introduction. The next time we go back we are like, "Carlos did you have the opportunity to read the intro?" and he's like i didn't get very far. i'm just in 1 nephi chapter 26. I'M LIKE WHAT??? CAN YOU BELIEVE LEHI DWELT IN A TENT! (jk I didn't say that) WE DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO BEG YOU TO READ??? YOU ARE AWESOME! Then the next time we go over we were with our members Amanda and Sergio. Sergio is a less active that is hilarious! We get to their house and they are painting it.
Number 1 reason I'm a gringa.... I can't paint. Sergio grabs the paint stick thingy whatever it's called with the roll thing on the end and starts going to town and slowly they kept finding more and more paint brushes and I was like YAASSS I've always wanted to be on a TLC remodel. No one would ever trust me to paint their house back home... but I OF COURSE don't tell them that. I just wish I had a lunch sack to hang in the trees like the painters did at our house! I kept getting paint everywhere. All over my face. It was so awkward and Sergio painted my arm...it was a disaster really. Did I ever tell you guys I met a man with a pet squirrel?? I don't remember but BEST HUMAN EVER! Who has a pet squirrel really? It's so cool I petted a squirrel!! ok then Carlos was telling us that his wife said an hour before we came, "How will we ever finish this? and I'm really scared to get up high on the ladder." (and carlos can't because his back is broken maybe?) and Carlos told his wife, "Don't worry the Lord always provides a way... then you guys showed up!" Then the next day they came to church and they really enjoyed it! Woot Woot!
Number 2 reason I'm a gringa.... I can't eat very much and spicy stuff always goes immediately to my companions plate when the cook isn't looking. Mr. Jesus G. tries to feed me sooooo much! One time we were at his house and he was like sista you don't eat every much... so I was like "Jesus I could eat a cow!" and all he said was "I will pay for it." and I thought he would forget. I mean he's like 82 but NOOO he tries to feed me a cow every time literally! He also supports mid-drift shirts so that's fun! and he likes wearing oven mitts!
Number 3 reason I am a gringa...I am weak sauce... YARD LABOR IS AWKWARD! We were ripping up one of our members grass and it was sooooooo hard! wow I couldn't move for a couple of days.
Number 4 reason I am a gringa... I was wearing my H.L or granola shoes for the first time ever. My heart goes out to those shoes! and yes I know they are hideous and yes I didn't support them in the first place. I ALSO KNOW I'M ALREADY ENOUGH OF A FREAK BUT WHY NOT ADD THE H.L. SHOES! All my friends made fun of them... YAY FOR JERKS! haha jk I was making fun of them along with them... I was like I know can you believe I bought these things ha ha yeah ha ha ok but really stop making fun of my shoes! They remind me of my mom so back off me!
well there ya have it. I'm a gringa for a reason! i love ya'll so much! anywho I hope you have great weeks. love ya!
