This week really flew by. I`m not even really sure what happened. That`s all folks. See ya!
Just kidding haha. I do remember a few really awesome things. I am learning about just helping everyone in the zone to feel awesome, and it`s really fun to just make people happy. Our zone is doing INCREDIBLE right now, and together we have a TON of people who are preparing to be baptized this week. One area has a family of 7 people that are all planning on getting baptized this Sunday. Please pray for all of the missionaries working hard in the Zona Siquinalá.
We are teaching some really amazing people. One lady, Blanca Rosa, couldn`t come to church this week, and when we went to see why, she said her son had come to ask for food and she had to make it for him, and couldn`t come to church. But she told us that this week she would make all of the food on Saturday instead, just to be prepared. When we asked if she had read the part of the Book of Mormon that we left for her, she said that she "read a little bit." Usually when people say that, they mean that they read either nothing, or a teeny tiny bit. But we soon learned that she had read the part that we left for her, and also had started from the beginning and read the first few chapters! We were super excited, but she just said that she had to know, instead of just trusting us. That is exactly how we want everyone to be. They don`t have to just trust us, because the truth doesn`t come from us. That`s why we ask everyone to ask God if it`s true, because HE`s the one they need to trust, and HE`s the one who will tell them.
Also, this week we had a zone activity where we came to the Gomera and played ping pong, basketball, and soccer. We also planned a surprise birthday party for Hermana Jacobs and Elder Araujo, because they both have their birthdays this Sunday. We bought a cake for them, and lit all the candles and hid it in the kitchen. They were super happy when they found it. Little did THEY know, the candles were actually trick candles that we found in a really cool 3 Quet store, and so they relit themselves everytime they were blown out. It was kinda crazy because they relit themselves until they literally started burning the cake, so that was almost a problem. And then we got Hermana Jacobs to take a picture with the cake, but as if she were eating it. But closer! Because it doesn`t look like you`re eating it unless you`re close! No, closer! Meanwhile, Elder Almeida was sneaking up behind, and before she knew it, he had slammed her face into the cake! We somehow managed to do it to Elder Araujo too, and so we have some great pictures of them both with cakey faces.
Hope you are all loving life and being happy.
Love you guys!
