This week, was good. It was actually like a great week for us. We worked and worked and worked. So, it was good. We had like tons of lessons and we are expecting a baptism on the 13th of December. Hopefully I am still here, right?? But, we are excited for that. It is a little girl that is 8 and her name is Malena. We are helping them all come back to the church as a family and her get baptized. And she knows everything. Seriously. I feel like I am not even teaching lessons with her cuz she answers every question. Well, it makes sense and all cuz she has gone to church like all her life with her grandma... Just hasn´t had the chance to get baptized cuz her dad was inactive... But not anymore!!! :)
So, that was good. Also, we are working with the family of an hermana that is a recent convert in our area, Aida. Her family is listening and they feel that what we share is true and a few of them have been reading the Book of Mormon and have prayed and received an answer... The only thing is that they need to come to church!! So, we are working with them on that one and it is going pretty good. In fact, they were going to come to church with us this week.. All of them. But, when we got to their house in the morning to pick them up... We found out that they had to travel unexpectedly cuz their grandma died. So, that was sad. But, we will see what happens with all of them.
Also, this week we did divisions with the hermana leaders. And I was with Hermana Hunt... AGAIN! So, that was fun. And this time, we spoke in english! I felt so weird cuz I seriously haven´t spoken in english in like this entire time that I have been in this area. Like 4 and a half months. So, that was weird, but cool. She broke her ´´english fast´´ so we finally cound talk and joke together like old times! But, it was great. I went to her area this time and we had a good day. We just talked and talked and talked and I loved it. But, we had some really great lessons with people in her area, too. But, I learned to admire the hermana leaders cuz their area is super hard. It´s like way chuchi and all the houses are like richy rich houses.. So automatically everyone rejects you... But, I learned a lot with her and it was so much fun!
Today, we went to T.G.I. Friday´s in Asuncion with like 9 elders and 2 other hermanas. It was so fun! We decided that we had to do something fun cuz it is the last p-day of this change and we don´t know who is going to be leaving. So, we came up with that idea and went. We were going to play like waterballoon fight, but it is like really crappy weather and it was storming all night and gray skies all day. So, we just went to eat. And it was delicious. So weird, though. I haven´t been to an American restaurant in 11 months! But, I got a bacon cheeseburger and it was like I was back at home. Hahaha it was so weird. But, that was what we did for p-day.
And that is my week. We did a lot of good things and had a great week. Hopefully I will stay in my area again so that I can spend Navidad with the people here and stuff, but... We will see what the Lord has in store... You´ll all know next letter! I hope you have a great week. Sounds like Thanksgiving was a success. We did have a ´´Thanksgiving´´ dinner. But, a member cooked us mashed potatoes and chicken on Thursday and that was good enough for me! I hope you have a great week! We are now in December! Love you!
Love, Hermana Whittaker
