So! It has been kinda a crazy week, and I´ve been dead tired, but it´s been a good dead tired!
Tuesday: I spent the day with Hermana McGuire (another missionary who is training, and also happens to be from Washington) (but she´s from the west side). We went back and forth from my area to hers, since our areas touch borders. It was a fun day. It´s kinda a luxury now for me to be able to spend a whole day talking in English! (except in the appointments of course) It was pretty fun, and she´s a cool Hermana.
Wednesday: I got my hija! (daughter) It´s kinda weird to think about it because I have a few friends who just entered the mission field this week in other parts of the world, so it´s weird that I could basically be training them! My hiija´s name is Hermana Muñoz, and she´s from Chile. She is very sweet and kind and thoughtful (reminds me a lot of Abby Henry) and has a great attitude about missionary work. At first she was SUPER nervous to talk with anyone, but now (Monday) she is doing a lot better.
Thursday: We had a few appointments today, but a lot of them fell through, and every time that happened, Hna Muñoz would say, ¨Hey, let´s go knock some doors¨ or ¨Okay, I want to go talk with those people¨ and things like that. It´s been really fun to see how in tune with the spirit she is, especially since she´s fresh from the CCM. She actually is really inspiring me a lot in the way of contacting, because before this week it was never really something that I enjoyed or loved, it was kinda more something necessary to find and teach more people, but after spending so much time doing it I´m starting to like doing it more! (Even though getting references is the best thing in the world!)
Friday: So... we contacted all day, But I really didn´t feel bad about it because Hna Muñoz was so excited to talk with everyone! We had district meeting in the morning, so that´s always fun.
Saturday: The majority of what I remember from Saturday is using the whole day to contact. It´s interesting because no matter how many appointments you plan, the majority of the will fall through, yes or yes. But at least we visited with lots o people! We´ve got 23 written contacts from the past 5 days, so not too shabby!! Usually I might be halfway through the transfer with that number, so let´s hope all the contacting and diligence pays off!
Sunday: I felt like we spent the whole day in the capilla, because we had a 2 hour ward counsel after church (it should be 1 hour). We spent all day walking and looking for contacts who didn´t want to be found, so we got home DEAD tired, but that´s the new norm, so I guess it´s a good thing. :D
Monday: We went to the store, bought ´the goods´ , played wallyball, went the the mall for lunch, and are doing internet. Oh, and I washed all my clothes this morning which took FOREVER (I miss washers and dryers) but it´s a part of life here in Bolivia.
Aaaaand that was my week! We are working hard so we can sleep hard haha!! I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving, since I didn´t actually know Thanksgiving was going to be this past week until people told me haha.
The church is true. If you don´t believe it, go find out for yourself. Read the Book of Mormon EVERY DAY! It will bless your life!
I love you all! I know Christ loves you... and we can pretend that Bolivia loves you too haha!
