ok mom´s 20 Q:
1.Did you get the package? I called the office and they haven´t received any package for an
hermaña smith. that was a couple of days ago but i know that a
missionary couple are heading to madrid this week for a fútbol game
and they´ll pick up all the mail. if they don´t bring it back then
hopefully í´ll get it at zone conference which is november 19th. if
not, then.....i don´t know when. maybe in january.
2. Are the people of the Islands different than Madrid? its so different here and we get a lot of receptive people. i
haven´t met as many rude people here opposed to those i´ve definitely
met in madrid. we´re working hard but its really a lot of contacting
or finding some old less actives. which is a lot.
3. Hair problems with the salt water? yes i do have some hair left. we´re going to the farmacia and
grabing some hair pills and special shampoo and conditioner for this
stuff. poor hermana cassinat is at her whits end with her hair. my
skin does feel softer though, so its a win win situation.
oh now dads 20 q´s:
1. unfortunetely i speak less spanish here because its more contacting
then teaching, so a lot of times hermana cassinat and i are passing
time by doing the whole name this movie! trivia. in the zone, don´t
know. but there are 2 spanish speakers in our district, somos 14
2. we cook mostly. i haven´t eaten at a members yet but we have an
investigator named aida that made us pancakes. hermana cassinat and i
cook a lot and we like to cook fried chicken and pasta and all that
good stuff. we haven´t had money for awhile cuz its so expensive to
travel so we´ve been eating a lot of pasta and mucho of the instant
packages from the states. we had mac and cheese yesterday! wow that
was good. members are super good with la obra misional. they pretty
much do it for us instead of us asking them.
whew ok now the week! This week was fun and honestly i gotta be
careful because its like having too much of a good thing! i´ve been
trying to improve my teaching skills more that i´m not stressed with
other stuff and its a slow process since we don´t really teach a lot.
but its been great and hermana cassinat has been a great example and
teacher. she´s just awesome. it was so cool, we went into this bar to
grab some water (now hold your horses bars here aren´t as bad as the
states) and i saw a pass along card of jesus christ on the counter! i
look at it then look on the back and it was my card! i had written it!
hahaa it was awsmoe because at least someone was jkind enough to put
it up instead of tossing it.
we have an investigator named leo, from ecuador (soon to be the 2nd
south american in the rama!) and we taught the gospel of jesus christ
and temples. what we do is we take the pamphlet for the Gospel (which
is la fe, el arrepentimiento, el bautismo, el don del espíritu santo y
a preseverar hasta el fin) and in the pamphlet they have pictures of
jesus to go with each of them. we take them out and then cut up a big
poster of the madrid temple and we stick the pieces on the back. we
show the steps and then in the end we can reach the temple. he was so
focused on that and it was such a good lesson! we asked him to be
baptized on the 16 of november and he said yes! we´re so excited for
him and hope that he´ll continue to preseverar hasta el fin.
so it was day light savings time here last saturday and oh my
goodness!! they shut everything down and they partied ALL NIGHT LONG.
we have some awesome videos of it.
but i love telde so much. i am so blessed to be here. its so different
than madrid, but i´m glad that i have this chance to be here.
oh we´re in charge of the halloween party for the branch and i looked
in my recipe folder and lo and behold! most of them were perfect for
halloween! so we´re cooking no bakes, carmel popcorn, apple crisp,
rice krispies, hot cider, etc.we´re very excited :) but yes a little
stressed. we´ll send pics next week! we´re dressing up as eachother so
i get a chance to wear hermana cassinats clothes! yesssss.... :)
i love you all so very much! i´m so grateful for all of your letters
and your kinds words. know that there´s someone in telde that loves
ya!
con mucho amor,
hermana smith
