Yay! My nightmare has come true! I'm outside the cap. Here it will be that I shall die of sunburns, malaria, and heat stroke. Yay! And how do I know all this? Because my compa Avilez was there and told me all about it. I have yet to truly experience it. It's only day 1. Or 1 1/2 anyway. So we'll see how I like it. So far I like it though. All the people I've met are SUPER friendly and loving. Even more than inside the cap. And there's pupusas everywhere and it's freaking delish. That and Granizadas. So you know that my life is happy food wise. But I'll keep you updated. In other news my nueva compa es de Honduras and is called Hermana Ayala. She's super funny and fun and loving and I dig her. But I'll probably only be her comp for a change because the time we finish this one she'll have 6 months here. And that's usually the longest a sister stays in an area. I mean that's 1/3 of the missin. So that's sad. But I guess I'll just have to enjoy her while I can.
Anyway in news of this week we had a picnic that got rained on 5 minutes in, caught ladybugs, played with puppies, and washed clothes. Well I hung them to dry. People don't think I can wash clothes because I'm a gringa. Rude. We also said goodbye to a ton of people because we knew that one of us was leaving. We didn't think it'd be me. But it was good to say goodbye to everyone that I've met and loved in Tesoro. And now for a new adventure here in Mita!
As for my last spiritual experience in Tesoro. We taught a drunk man. But not just any drunk man. He's constantly drunk. Never sober. Ever. But something that was inspiritational to me is that even though he's constantly drunk he's trying his best to change. He quit smoking and now he's working on other problems. But I love that he realizes that he needs to change and is little by little making efforts to do it. And I thought, "If a man with big problems can make the effort to change, why can't we, with little problems, make the same effort?" And we don't have to do it alone. We can have the love and support of our Heavenly Father siempre guiding us along with the Atonement of our Savior siempre backing us up when we falter or struggle. So why is it hard? I think it's because we're afraid. But as the scriptures say, "Be not afraid, only believe." Mark 35:36 So my invitation to all of you people is to try to make the changes that you've been meaning or wanting to change. And have no fear! Just believe. Or in other words just have faith. Anyway that's what I wanted to share with you people today! Love ya! Till next time!
