We´ve been doing a ton of work here. We ate more piñas, taught lots and lots of people, and swept a dirt floor for an hour as a "service project." And I loved it :)
So almost all the houses here have dirt floors. So a lady told us she needed help with something, and we came over to her house early in the morning, totally ready to help (we are always looking for service, and we do stuff like chopping firewood and making tortillas). But then she said needed help sweeping the dirt. And it´s all dirt. So we swept up the dirty dirt so that you could better see the clean dirt, or something like that. But the funniest part was that the dirt looked a lot cleaner afterward. These people know what they´re talking about.
There are these little wafer cookies here called "Picnic," and you can find them in every shop all over the place. And I guess they must be making a new How to Train Your Dragon movie, because all of the Picnics have a sticker from the movie inside. So my comp and I are having a lot of fun collecting them when we´re passing by.
We had another baptism this week! Maria wasn´t able to get baptized with her family last week, so we went to Santa Elena this week to baptize her. They have a baptismal font there, so it was a little more peaceful and calm. The spirit was so strong there though. She was super excited, and really wanted to do it because she knew that it was what God wanted from her. I really love seeing the happiness in people´s eyes when they change their lives for the better, and that´s really why I´m here. I´m building God´s kingdom on the earth by helping people to come unto Christ. I know that it´s true, not because I can see God and talk to Him face to face, but because I can see the eyes of these people, and I can see their lives getting better everyday. And it´s the most worth it thing I´ve ever done.
I love you guys! Keep being awesome :)
