This was a pretty fun week. I started it out PRETTY sick, and actually was sick all week (she said she was achy and feverish.) Sick enough that I had to go to the clinic to get antibiotics (and they gave me a shot... in the butt!! I didn´t know they even did that anymore!!) so that wasn´t super fun, and I was pretty achy and had a fever for like the whole week, but it was pretty fun because we did 2 intercambios! The bad part is that we were working HARD this week, so i didn´t really get time to rest up. The bad part about my area is that it is one big hill, so my body has been working a lot. I´ve been nonstop coughing for the whole week too. BUT! It´s not getting me down.
I think one of the things i´ve been realizing about myself is that I really have the spiritual gift of bearing a very firm and strong testimony. I´m grateful for the spiritual gifts my heavenly father has given me. I know he has given spiritual gifts to everyone, we just have to search them out!
Amo la obra misional, estoy tan agradecida por mi compañera y por este area. Sé que este es un gran obra, y ¡¡cualquier persona que quiere participar está bienvenida!!
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
Hermana Rowe
We got to visit with her again this week. So Great!! It is Carnival so they have to be a little more careful. She said it wasn't bad over the weekend. Just that people in the streets randomly spray you with colored foam (or maybe silly string?) or water. She said they like to go after the gringos even more. She is having fun with it. She bought her own can to spray back. HA HA. She said they expect today (Tuesday) to be the worst of it and so they have been told to stay in all day today. She bought some ingredients so she could cook something great and make some no bake cookies. Apparently that is what the missionaries there make (most likely because their apartments don't have ovens.) She talked about how much she is enjoying this companion. They are both pretty easy going and they don't have to work on getting along. It comes naturally. She LOVES that this comp is obedient and they don't have drama and can just focus on the work.
I asked a little more about her area. She said she is about 20 minutes from the temple it isn't in her area. She said it takes about 20 minutes to walk from one side of her area to the other. She loves this time in her missionary service. She has a grasp of the language (but is still trying to learn and improve.) She loves her companion. She is a seasoned missionary (although I don't know that she would use those words to describe herself) and she loves the people of Bolivia. I have reminded/asked her to continue writing longer letters so that you all can still get insight into how she is doing. I think we are still adjusting to the new communication guidelines and she is also feeling that her mission is winding down and it is natural to write less.
On P day they had other sisters who are serving around them come over for breakfast. They made pancakes. Apparently one sister was disappointed that Hermana Rowe wasn't making eggs (because she is known in the mission for her love and mastery of making eggs many different way.) :)
