Hello all!
Another week has passed and I think if I were
to describe this past week with one word it would be “rain.” Basically in the morning it’s hot and all the
fans are pointing towards us as we do our studies. Then when we leave our apartment the rains
starts to pour and doesn’t stop until we come home at night. On Tuesday we had a multi zone activity at
the beach, “Playa del sol.” It was
great! We had to leave super early to
get to Tonala and then our zone rode together in the back of a truck for about
an hour to get to the beach. It was so
nice out and the water was so warm!
On Wednesday the rain started again and we also
got free AMAZING quesadillas.
Occasionally people give you free food because you’re a missionary and
it’s really nice. On Thursday we had
splits with our sister training leaders and it was great! We were so soaked because once again it was
raining. I was with Hermana Nolasco in
Jubileo and Hermana Arellano was with Hermana Connolly in La Bendicion. It was pouring so hard and we were basically walking
in a river. The water covered my feet
and at one point was up to my knees. I don’t
even know how it’s possible but seriously the clouds just dump water. We got a little bit held up in a lesson in
Jubileo so it was getting dark as we tried to find transportation back to
Mapa. Jubileo is kind of dangerous at
night so we were freaking out because there weren’t any combis and taxis didn’t
want to take us because we were wet. We
said a prayer and like a minute later we saw the headlights of a combi coming.
It was amazing because the combis usually don’t run later either, and the
driver was on his last round.
On Saturday we went out to La Vainilla to proselyte,
and surprise it was raining. We were lucky
enough to be accompanied by the nephew of our Branch President Toledo. He’s six
years old and walked around wrapped in a large tarp. It was probably the cutest thing ever. An investigator brought us out coffee and we
all declined but President said maybe Bryan would like it, the six year
old. So she handed him the cup and he
looked at it with the saddest face. So I
asked him if he likes coffee, and he shook his head no and the investigator saw
but thought he said it was too hot. So
she took the cup away and he was so relieved.
Two minutes later she comes out with a new cup but not as hot and hands
it to him. His face was so dejected and
I was laughing so hard. Later I put up
my hand for a high five and he just set his hand in mine and then left it there
and I died laughing. Later he farted in
a lesson just as I was about to invite the investigator to come to church with
us and I was dying. Again I’m laughing
just writing about it, this little kid was the funniest thing ever.
We received transfers and the fact that we’re
starting a new transfer is so crazy I can’t believe it went so fast. I was crazy nervous all day because we
thought Hermana Arellano was going to leave.
Good News: We’re both staying
here in Mapastapec. Wahoo! I’m super excited for the next 6 weeks. I’ve been super blessed with amazing
companions thus far, and the Hermana Arellano is no exception. :o) Our goal is to baptize all of
Mapastapec. I think that’s every missionary’s goal. haha We also found an apartment with AC so we’re
looking to move soon and I think the prospect of AC was the most exciting thing
that happened in my whole mission.
Basically all is well here and life is good. Hope you all have a great week. Con much amor, Hermana Dangl
