I just wanted to share a fun fact
with all of you that I don't know if y'all ever knew but refrigerated
milk does not exist in Spain. You just keep it in the pantry and it
lasts for 2 years so that's really neat.
Alright let me tell you about some of my friends
So
last Sunday not yesterday, but last week we called this random number
on our phone of a man named Ampa. We just casually invited him to
church.. and he came! So that was a pleasant surprise. And then this
other family came, just out of nowhere, and they just so happen to live
in one of our pueblos! So we set up a citas with all of these people and
went on our merry way.
So Beatriz and Paco. Beatriz is a menos activo and Paco is her boyfriend
who we are now teaching! They live in Aguadulce which is the cutest
little pueblo right on the coast and I just fell in love. We went and
had a fabulous chat with them they are the nicest people! Beatriz shared
a beautiful testimony and Paco just wants to jump right in and learn
everything. They come to church all the time. Paco was very animated in
inviting us back to come and eat with them. Also parents, we have a
place to stay when we visit 😎
Also
Ampa , we went yesterday to his house to teach him, and 2 of his
cousins came in and listened as well. It was a really great lesson and
they were all really excited about the books of Mormon we gave them. Yay
for Africans.
So then we
went to visit a man named Edwilder. He came from Colombia 2 weeks ago
and he came because he wants to turn his life around. He is a member but
has been inactive for a while. He is rock solid just an awesome guy. He
and his brother came to the church, got interviews with the bishop and
are changing their lives around. Their sisters also live there with them
and they are suuuppperrr cool. They all talked to us for a bit and then
we invited them to come to the ward noche de hogar and they all came!
We went and picked them and they all came! They came and just had a
blast and laughed and it was so fun. What a fabulous family they are.
So
for the ward family home evening we did a special Halloween edition. We
made like 4 pounds of frosting so we could decorate sugar cookies and
we had some relay races and Hermana Lighten and I dresses up as Mickey
and Minnie. It was adorbs.
Our area is huge and we
had a lot of time to contact this week. So we walked along the beach
and then turned up to walk in the outer most parts of our area. In
short, we got lost, had 15 minutes to get home so we climbed up the side
of an overpass, hopped a fence, and then ran down the freeway. It was
exhilarating. We got home in time and let's just say it was probably
good we were walking fast because SKETCH. But all in all we had a great
week,
Something funny
for y'all, I was on the phone trying to set a cita with a man and he
said "okay we can meet at the mall." But of course in Spanish. And I
said okay and then he said" okay we can meet at the puerta of
McDonald's" ( door of McDonald's) but for like 7 minutes straight I
thought he was saying"el Puente de manzanas" which means like thw bridge
of apples. And I had no idea what he was talking about but I just
assumed that there was something called that in Almeria and I'd find out
later. But he kept saying NOOOO MCDONALD'S. And I just was not getting
it and he was dying and I was dying and then finally I understood and
man Spaniards just don't say McDonald's right. But Idk it was really
funny for me Hahah.
We ate some yuuuummmyy ecuadorian food this week and it was just yummy and the family was super cute and fun.
A huge happy birthday shout out to Gooey! Aunt Hannah lovvessss you!
