This has been a pretty good week! A little crazy, but we´re making it through!
This week I got to do my first intercambio (exchange) as a capacitadora,(Sister Training Leader) and it was super fun because I got to be with one of my past comps Hna Piguave! Super fun, she told me that she could see a big difference in who I am now versus who I was 6 months ago, so that´s super cool!
We had interviews with Presidente Montoya which is always the best, and he helped me understand why he thought i´d be a good capacitadora (because I was doubting a little bit) and we talked about a lot other good stuff.
This weekend Hna Curtis and I have been pretty sick, but we are getting better little by little! God helps us when we need it! (because without His help i don´t know if I would have made it through!)
I talked with my family before writing all of my letter so i´m sorry it´s so short!! This is one of the best changes I´ve seen as a missionary, I´m so grateful for it!
She bought a camera to plug in at the internet cafe so we actually got to see her this week while we chatted. Brad even got to join in (because it was during his lunch.) She told us a little more about where her area is and I looked it up on a map. You can google Cala Cala Cochabamba Boliva and look at maps to see where she is. It always helps to have a visual. The people in this area have a little more money so it is a nicer and more established. She showed us some fruit that she bought and loves. It is called cherimoya. We talked about how inexpensive things are there. We asked a little more about her day to day life. They eat the main meal (lunch) at a pensionista who prepares it and cleans up after. She is known in the mission as "the sister who cooks eggs..." because she prepares them lots of different ways. They don't have an oven and only have a cook top stove so they don't do a lot of cooking. She loves all of the fruit and was saying how much she will miss it. It was wonderful to see her and talk to her. It was great to get questions answered on the spot (because sometimes she forgets to answer them in the email.) I am so grateful for the new communication guidelines. They are the best!! The only downside is that the letters are much shorter...
Next week is carnival, so we´ll see if I get to talk or not. :)
Love you all!
