Como en el mundo?? Guys it's the 25th of august. just in case you didn't know. that's cool.
Well, this week was good.
On Saturday the Elders that work in the same ward as us had a baptism Saturday, which was great! the guy that got baptized wanted the sister missionaries to sing at his baptism. Which meant that Sis. Sarmiento and I had to sing. poop. At least I didn't have to sing alone. And at least one of the elders is like a concert pianist and played amazingly to cover up mi voz. :D
Lisa is doing really really well. This last week we had a couple awesome lessons with her and she's currently trying her best to quit smoking. woo!! Only problem is yesterday she literally disappeared. We saw her Saturday night and she was a little sick but not too bad and excited for church. Then yesterday she never showed up and didn't answer her phone all dang day. Scary, right? She goes out of town tomorrow for the rest of this week so I guess you could say we're going to stalk her like crazy tonight. :) Hopefully she was just sick and slept all day or something. I'll keep you posted.
Really besides that not a lot has been going on. BUT I do have a pretty funny story to tell.
Cockroaches, man.
We've only had one in our apartment while I've been here. And it was stuck on its back. (thank goodness.) One day I woke up and there was a dead-looking cockroach by the door so I said, "gross. let me sweep that up." IT WASN'T DEAD. After a lot of silly attempts to kill it without touching it, I finally manned-up and got a shoe. Here's the funny part.
Sis. Sarmiento. She's incredibly scared of bugs of any kind. it's quite ridiculous. haha. but funny. When I went to smoosh the cockroach, I put a piece of toilet paper to protect my shoe from nastiness. When I put the piece of toilet paper on it, she screamed bloody-murder! After I controlled my laughing I smooshed it while she gagged a little. Best part? she was recording it on her camera. aka we have that unreasonable scream documented. PRICELESS. hahahaha. I wish everyone could've seen my tiny, chilean companion in that moment. hahahahaaha.
Anywho. The work here on the island is really slow. realllllllyyyyyy slowww. But we're gonna keep working and and having faith, cause for sure there's people that need us and so we won't let them down. Not in a thousand years.
In conclusion, I just want to remind everyone how amazing they are! Seriously. I love you all so much and so does God. Which is pretty darn cool. Also I just want to say that the Book of Mormon is the most powerful asset we have on this earth. USE IT. If you have a question or problem, pray about it and go to the scriptures! I know you can receive answers, guidance and comfort. test it out. It's amazing.
Keep being amazing! I love you all!
Love,
Hermana Lance
