You´re welcome to all the siblings and cousins who understood that reference. I seriously have been missing BBQ sauce this week, not sure why. And i´ve felt PLENTY of sun this week. But i guess that´s my new reality in Cochabamba :)
Tuesday: We had district meeting and i received my beloved package! I seriously have been enjoying it so much. Even my little mini English hymnal smelled like home! I also got Hermana Piguave´s guitarra from her old comp, so until she comes to Cochabamba i´ll be using her guitar to practice. It´s been kinda fun playing around on it in the morning when my comp is in the shower, or in the evening before bed.
Wednesday: Today we met with a less active youth and her inactive mom. The mom is inactive and doesn´t want to ever go back to church because of some unforgivable thing another member did to her mom or something like that. We had the opportunity to talk about the atonement with her, and the spirit was really strong in the lesson. One of the things I´ve realized recently is that too many people let other people affect their testimonies. It is SO important that we base our testimonies in CHRIST and His gospel. If we go to church just for the people that are there, we are not truly converted to the gospel. It is essential that the reason we go to church is that we want to partake of the sacrament, to renew the covenants we´ve made with God, and to become more Christlike through taking the sacrament. This week when you are getting ready for church, I hope you think about the ordinance of the sacrament that you are getting ready to take, because if you prepare worthily to take the sacrament, and sincerely repent, once you take the sacrament you are clean. Clean. Pure. It´s like you´ve just been baptized. I know that if you´ll go to church this week, preparing yourself beforehand,you´ll get SO much more out of sacrament meeting, and all of the meetings for that matter.
Thursday: Mostly we just contacted and looked for apartments today. really not much more to tell about today :)
Friday: More searching for apartments, and we ended up getting 2 new investigators today, which was great! they are awesome, but something i´ve discovered this week about Cochabambinos is that they REALLY like to talk. Not necessarily about themselves, but they are talkers, and sometimes it´s SUPER hard to get the to focus in on what we are teaching them, even if they´re really interested. And the quiet ones talk about a normal amount. It´s definitely been something to get used to. Oh yeah, we also had interviews with Presidente Montoya. Oh! and earlier in the week a member told us about an apartment, we went, and it was awesome! so today we brought Presidente and Hermana Montoya to see it, and they both like it!! So we´re hoping that all works out this week.
Saturday: We did weekly planning (yeah, i know it was a little late this week) And we had an FHE with a less active family in the ward. We learned how to make pizza, EVERYTHING from scratch. Super fun evening with them. :)
Sunday: Today was awesome because we had 3 new investigators that i´d love to explain about but i´m out of time!!
Monday: Today we went to the cancha for the first time. It was pretty cool, bigger than the markets in sucre but not crazy different :)
That´s all i´ve got for ya! We´ll talk next week!
Con mucho amor y cariño,
Hermanita Rowe
