Well I am here in Estanzuela! I sure do like it here! Hmmm where to start... Well it is hot, but a dry heat, so it is bearable! It feels like Vegas!! :) We have hot water, but it is so hot that it burns haha so we use the pila (sink)! After wishing for hot water the whole time I was in Amates, now that I have it, I don´t use it!
We have lots of members that live near us, and many of them are very willing to visit investigators with us.
Well we go to the gym every morning and it is great!!! My companion Hermana Hernandez loves the gym! She is from El Salvador and only has 3 months left in the mission!
I don´t think I have ever been so lost in my life. The first few days I was just following my companion! There are so many little streets, and the houses all look the same! haha but I am starting to learn my way around more! Hermana Hernandez asked if we could have divisions this week, and man... I feel sorry for the Hermanas, because we are going to get lost! haha!!
Well one of our investigators, Johana, is amazing! She is about 22 years old and has a super cute baby boy! She loves reading the Book of Mormon, and loves when we leave her assignments!!!
We are also teaching Maritza and Martha. Maritza is 7 years old and will be turning 8 in a few weeks! She wants to get baptized and her mom wants to get baptized too, but the dad doesn´t approve. We are working on that one. But she is the cutest, and loves when we come and visit!! And her prayers are so sincere!
Well everyone gives us fruit, watermelon, mangoes, melons! It is the best! We don´t have to buy fruit anymore! :) The branch is really great. We meet in an old school, it isn´t actually old at all. It is a huge step up from the Elders house that we had services in in Los Amates! :) Well we are in charge of Sunday School with the Youth and Young Women! The youth are really great!!
Well that is about it for now! This week I am ponderizing D&C 24:8. It talks about being patient in afflictions.
Well, love you all!!!!
