Muy rapido, I might not be able to write the 23rd of december, only call on Christmas, Im not sure yet, ever mission is different with their rules and the same applies for the new year!
BUT another week is done and passed, another P day here again, and we had Halloween and Day of the Dead! For Halloween I dressed up as, like the elders in my district so loving call, Nappy Hermana, AKA my hair was a mess and I was dripping sweat.
I am loving this place more and more everyday. I feel like somthing clicked this week, I started feeling a lot more happy and like it wasnt so difficult. In fact, missionary life isnt always easy, but I actually think this area is easy, which makes me think that Ill be going to a Pueblo next, God always wants us to be challenged so we can become more than we currently are. How wonderful is the Refiners fire? Not sacrastic at all! Usually you stay with your first comp for 2 transfers and then with a new comp in the same area for the 3rd, so I probably wont leave for a while, but well see!
I see miracles from God every day. This week I started feeling like a real missionary. My Spanish is extremely flawed but I havent been embarassed about my learning process at all. I feel the spirit help me with the words to saw in our lessons and we have a few promising investigators, Ill tell you, the people here are really really special. I have started to feel a lot more love for our investigators, and when we have someone immediately cut us off and call us Apostate for our beliefs, I have been blessed to not even be mad, just happy that they have such a testimony in God they feel that others need to learn the "correct" teachings. Some days it rains right when I feel like I need it, and I always smile because I love the rain. My shoulder hurts less and my feet dont blister now, and I was even thinking the other day that I will miss this place when I return. I havent had health issues, and the members are so generous with their food.
On Saturday a family gifted us peanut butter and nutela on our way home, and I was actually thinking about how I needed to buy peanut butter at the store. After we went to a cultural appreciation put on by the church and watch traditional dances which was SO FUN , and a member paid for our uber on the way back. Tender mercies every day.
Ive realized I feel the most light and happy after a lesson, when Im actually working, when Im trying to focus on God and trying to serve. I hope you all can feel the same way, feel joyous in the hands of God.
Sorry this one was kind of boring but Ill try to spice the next one up,
Hermana Shirley
