This week was stellar. President Henrie is trying to merge Spanish
and English more and more so our districts are de-segregated. I want to
be Spanish work sooo bad so I'm thrilled.
Here's some random experiences this week:
We didn't have a dinner one night so the Spanish elders invited us
over to their member dinner with a bunch of other Spanish missionaries.
The members spoke 0 English. It was great. But one of the punk elders
kept telling them that I wanted more and more and more to eat. And I kept having
to say no because I was going to explode! One of the few phrases I
know is, Voy a engordarme -- which means I'm going to fatten myself hahah
so it came in handy to stop the plethora of food and not offend anyone.
On new Year's Day, Sis. M and I hit up a street where.. well we
aren't supposed to go to because it has one of the biggest gangs in LA
but we did anyway because there's a less active teen that lives
there. We show up and there's this big fiesta on the streets with
mariachi and people dancing with creepy masks and free tamales and
carne! We were most definitely the only white people in a 5 mile radius,
so we just ate up the attention. We went to get some
comida and chillin' right next to us was a group of big hispanic dudes
and one had a tattoo on his face.. hahaha ahhhh! I'm just this
little white girl from Springville who has never been in the minority in
her life and wow what a treat! Everyone loved us and we became homies
with all the rough crowd of guys through their broken English and my Spanglish.
Good times.
We ended the week with setting a baptismal date with Rebecca!! Her New Year's
resolution was to be baptized so we are hoping and praying and fasting
that her divorce finalizes this week. We'll plan her wedding, and get
her to her baptismal date by the end of the month!! Woof.. lots of faith
but we all feel real good about it. She's just so ready. So please pray
for ma girl Rebecca!
Well this was long but I hope you all have a swell week and make every day count.
I love you all one heck of a lot! Update me on your lives and send pix :)
xo, Sister Chels
