No se, Hna. Clark was telling me how to spell Puerradon and it took me about 5 minutes to spell it right. I'm still not sure that I spelled it right in this email! Ah well, I don't live there right now so I don't need to worry about it :) This week was good, I'm happy today so that means that the week was good, then again I'm usually happy around this time on mondays, but hey, I guess they're good weeks then :)
Lets see...que paso este semana......We went out with LM (the Bishop's wife), and when we got to the house of our investigator, she wasn't there! So we walked around a bit with L and she told us about her friend who talked with the missionaries before but now she may be a bit more open to accepting this change. We got there and this woman has her walls FULL of things she's made! There is barely wall showing and then there are things hanging from the ceiling! We talked and invited her to read the Book of Mormon again with the intent on knowing if it's true or not. After we left and dropped off L she told us how good it was to leave with us and that it was an injection of the Spirit, I really liked that analogy. We also learned how to make dulce de membrilla, which is like this really firm jelly stuff out of a fruit that, in engish, is called quince (I'm not sure on that spelling) but apparently you can make the stuff out of pears or apples too....I'll see how things go when I have time and space to do that :)
We were also asked to help out in the Primary sometimes by dressing up as a scripture character and talking to the kids about who we "are". Yesterday Hna. Sleight was Abish from Alma 19. It was funny, we were talking about what to do and who to be that morning and Hna. Clark was all, Ester has to be awesome, she continued to relate her story in her own way and ended with this moral: So have faith, fast, be hot...and you will be crowned! It was great.
AHH! I forgot to tell you, Friday was Hna. Sleight's birthday. I made her a chocolate cake with maracino cherries. It's supposed to be a devil's food cake with two cans of cherry pie filling on the bottom and another on top with hot fudge on top too, but we did what we could and it was really good! I also forgot to tell Kellie Happy Birthday in her letter, so if you could tell her that for me I would appreciate it :)
The weather here has been getting colder and wetter, though it does seem to rain a lot on mondays when we wash our cloths and hang them out to dry...ironicaly enough. That's one of the picture, our lavaropa and the clothes line.
I'm happy Joseph is progressing and I'm anxious to hear from him when he's ready.
The dance sounds like a hoot! (Moms note,I helped, as a YW leader, at a down syndrome young adult dance that was very fun and dramatic and great)
I'm glad the youth are so great!
Good job Jaker! Is the student teacher from around here? Would I know them? Jacob probably won some points with a few girls that day ;D (Moms note, Jacob helped a girl in his drama class that had hurt her leg. Jacob lifted her up and carried her to the teacher, rather heroic I think)
I'm sad to hear that Gordon passed away, I always liked him.
Well Mom I'm about out of time, but I love you and hope this next week holds some happy surprises from the family and from the Lord. I'll try and get a letter to you soon!
And I also found out that I need to write to only one address this week, so I'm attaching the other ones to this one. I love you so much Mom!
