I thought I liked the food here ….

My apartment 

Wednesday 

We had a pretty busy Pday but it was good. I needed some stuff like bed sheets so we spent most of the day doing that. I took like 3 hours to wash all my clothes because we have to wash by hand. I poured my heart out to Elder Faraoni but turns out he only heard a little bit because he was asleep.

Thursday

We have lots of lessons and I would talk about them more but I don't really know what's being said so sorry. We met with the family who has a big rice farm and it's super cool and all three of their names are Hugo.

Friday

I enjoy reading "the questions of the soul" in the BOM you should look them up if you haven't. We had a super good lesson with Lola and it was super cool and felt the spirit. Lola's Old Pastor told her that her son died of cancer and is not in heaven because she wasn't going to church and wasn't keeping the commandments which obviously isn't true and is super hard and sad. She also told us how she had a couple dreams one week where she was talking to her son and he was telling here that he was okay and it wasn't her fault. And basically we were like oh well we know exactly where he is and we taught her the plan of salvation. 

Saturday

Parties are crazy here. I got to open my presents with my family over a video chat. 

Sunday

Antonio is this old guy who lives alone and makes a living by fixing and sewing clothes we've been teaching and we dropped of a Christmas present for him and he almost started crying and he also came to church.

Monday

I saw a super cool colored parrot

Tuesday 

District council was good I felt like I was able to speak really good Spanish so that felt nice. I ate the most disgusting food. It was pig intestines soup and I tried to take a bite and swallow it but I couldn't and I puked in my mouth a little. I felt so bad for not eating it. I thought the smell was the pigs outside but it was the soup. The best way to describe it is the canned dog food but with chewy tubes of fat in it. 

Shirley this girl we are teaching said she didn't want to get baptized for a few months but then this morning she said that she actually does want to get baptized tomorrow. So it’s scheduled for tomorrow morning.  

Hope you guys are all doing well. Remember to read your scriptures.
