Life is good here!!! I am just absolutely certain I am going to come home speaking no languages. I cant speak english, spanish, guarani, or portugese!!! But I am starting to be able to understand spanish pretty well and guarani and portugese a little bit. I hear mostly spanish but sometimes I will get really frustrated when i cant understand and then my trainer will say "oh, they are speaking guarani." lol. my trainer has also mastered the art of nodding along like she understands. sometimes I will lean over to her and ask "what did they say", and she will just say under her breath "no idea", and she will keep smiling and nodding. lol. but the people dont even notice! i just think its funny when they speak straight portugese or guarani at us and think we understand.
Cristian should be getting baptized this Saturday. he is SUCH a good kid. his little brother is so sad he isnt old enough to be baptized yet, but he keeps saying"in two years i will be ready." SO CUTE. i am so excited for cristian!!
I want to testify again that this gospel is true. Not every day is some miraculous event, but it is in the little things. I know God loves me and all the people here, He is there! and I fall short every day, as we all do, but I know God isnt angry with me, He knows I can be better but he also is so proud of the things I am doing right. He just loves us so much!!
Not a crazy eventful week. Me and my comp got caught in a rainstorm on our way to our lunch appt and then the lady wasnt there, so i shouted a quick "hurrah for israel!" and then we were on our way lol. you can see in the pics below we ate really well that day.
photo 1, our meal with all the food groups. empanadas, pancakes, and oreos. LOL
photo 2, i realized our meal wasnt super healthy but figured an apple would take away all the calories from it. thats how it works i think.
photo 3, lunch with our friends today!! hermana swingler and hermana amado
lol love you all, thx for your prayers!!
