August 4: Spaghetti


Buenas Dias mi familia!

You would be surprised how much spaghetti people eat here. It normally doesn't have tomato sauce, but they make it with milk and cheese and ham.  And sometimes other ways.

This week we found a family to teach and they are too cute. They are the perfect Mexican version of hippies. They are really spiritual and they love everything in nature. The mom is really artistic and they have incense burning in their house. They have a pet owl, and also a pet turtle that doesn't have a cage but just kind of roams around and sleeps under chairs. The Mom, Veronica gave us this weird but awesome jello with carrots and walnuts. They are super nice and one day it was raining and they gave us a ride somewhere.

Normally we are lucky, and when there is a storm it rains when we are in a lesson and then it stops when the lesson is over, but this week nope. We had to walk to the other side of our area and it was pouring rain, but we have rain jackets and it is kind of fun.

A little something about Mexico, if it rains a lot, the air cools down and it feels really good. But if it rains a little, and then the sun comes out, everything is super hot and the ground is wet so the sun evaporates it up so you feel like you are walking in a hot steamy place. They call it "bochorno" and it is not my fave.

We had some great lessons this week and I can feel the Spirit working through me to teach the gospel. Sometimes during a lesson my Spanish is super awesome and I know that is definitely the Spirit and I am an instrument in the Lords hands! One of my favorite lessons this week we had is with an investigator named German, whose wife is a less active. We invited him to be baptized and him and his wife looked at each other and smiled really big and said yes! and then she bore a super powerful testimony and we all were crying a little bit.

I love being a missionary! It is the best! 
I love you all and thank you for all the prayers and support, I can definitely feel them.
