Hola Amigos!
Well we have been sick all this week with different things. I had a
bad cold and cough and now Hermana Pasten has it. Earlier Hermana Pasten was
having troubles with her stomach and with breathing so we had to go to the
hospital 3 times for different reasons. Then on Saturday night I got super sick
and didn’t sleep at all and almost passed out in the bathroom and yeah it was a
great night. L But now all is well! My stomach
still hurts a bit and Hermana Pasten`s cough is getting worse but, ehh we’ll
get over it haha.
Okay things that happened this week:
We were walking in Apizaco (the city) on our way to a meeting at the
church and and all the sudden this man stopped us and was trying to talk to us
in signs and it took us a while but we realized he was deaf and couldn’t speak but
we figured out that he was trying to tell us he wanted us to visit him. It took forever but he explained where he
lived and his phone number and name and everything. Even though he was writing
everything, we couldn’t understand his handwriting and he wasn’t making sense
with that either. Then he tried to kiss us on the cheeks to say goodbye and we
had to reject it and we felt so bad cause we couldn’t explain why he couldn’t
kiss us. :( But yeah the whole thing was a super humbling experience and we really
want to teach him but he’s in the area of the Elders :(
On Friday morning we were in the area of 2 of the Elders in our
district half the day helping their investigators move into a new house. When
we got there they told us to organize it how we would our own house and they
were trusting us to organize their house for them ahhh haha. It was fun but
super tiring!
Pretty much every day this week other American in my district, Elder
Steffensen , and I were giving English classes to 2 of the Bishop’s daughters
because they are preparing for an exam to be able to get into this English
program through BYU. I realized that English is super weird and hard to teach
haha.
The words "flip" "fetch" and "freak"
are words that pretty much all the missionaries (especially the Latinos) in our
mission use and now I’m involuntarily starting to use them too haha. I feel
like I sound so weird. We have so many "missino words" and
"mission phrases" in our mission.
An elder gave us some CDs of Christmas and Disney songs and we have
been listening to the Tarzan soundtrack nonstop and I’m pretty sure “You’ll Be
In My Heart” is my new favorite song right now.
The church is starting this new thing for Christmas called “He Is
The Gift”. If you haven’t seen it, go to www.christmas.mormon.org
and watch the video and share it on Facebook, twitter, or whatever you have. We
have been talking a lot about this with people we contact.
Today I went to Walmart and Sam’s Club for the first time since
being in Mexico and that was pretty much the highlight of the week for us, haha.
Well that’s pretty much all that happened this week! On Wednesday we
have our big Multizone Christmas activity with President Christensen in Puebla
and we’re really excited! I hope you all have a great week and are enjoying the
Christmas season. I wish I could be home for Christmas but this is the next
best thing. (:
Les extraño mucho,
Hermana Eyring
The other day we helped one of our investigators warm up these puppies that were just born 2 hours earlier outside in the freezing cold and almost had hypothermia. Their mom was sick in the vet so we had to pretty much nurse them back to health,
Christmas hats that we got for our whole district and ward mission leader(:
You can't really tell because it's so tiny but today we stopped by a
pet store and I got to hold a baby turtle. (:
