April 27, 2015 - Week 69

The companions in their home

This week was a pretty alright one. Nothing, again, too cool happened. We are just working and stuff and it is good. We did, however, meet a really cool family that is menos activo and they are really cool. My companion had already met them and shared with them a few times. They are the familia Martinez and we went to their apartment (cuz here, there are mostly just apartments) and shared with them on Tuesday. It was fun and we really got to know them well. They are funny and stuff and we just passed the whole night laughing and stuff. But, that was pretty much it of all the cool stuff that happened this week. In fact, we are going over to their house tonight to celebrate the birthday of the hermana. Should be fun. Also, we are still working with that one family that has to get married so that the hermana can get baptized, but when we visited them, she told us that her boyfriend doesn`t want to get married all of the sudden. So, that kinda sucked. But, we are going to try talking to him to see whats up. Other than that, we had a cake contest in the chapel this week and only three people make cakes. Us, the elders, and some other member BOUGHT a cake. So, that was kinda lame. And we didn`t even win! All the little kids voted for the elders and their ``tres leches cake``. Whatever. Haha but it was fun.

The activity with the Hermanas

Today, we had an activity with all the hermanas in our mission that are close (cuz there are like some hermanas that are like 8 hours away). But, everyone within like an hour`s distance in colectivo was invited. And a lot came! There were like 12 companionships or so. So, it was fun cuz I saw like everyone. And you know you have a lot of time in the mission when you see ALL of your companions except the 2 that have already gone home... Haha but it was fun! We all had to like bring a authentic dish from our country to share. So, I tried a lot of Peruvian, and Guatemalan food. And I made Chocolate Chip Cookies. So, that was fun. 

That is like all for this week. Nothing too cool... But, I can`t believe that we are like now done with April and we are going into May! Also, we are excited cuz next Tuesday, we are going to the temple as a zone! So, should be fun! 

I love you soooo much and have a grand week!!

Love, Hermana Whittaker
