Hola, todos! Monday,
June 30, 2014
Well. This week was awesome!!!
Actually, not a whole lot happened up until Saturday. But you know what
happened Saturday? I'm gonna tell you. Later.
Friday, the activity (Minute to Win
It) went...well. Nothing ever goes perfect, but it went alright. We had enough
games, but we didn't really have sufficient stop watches. It was a bit weird,
but from what I gather, people had fun. Each game represented a principle of
the gospel (faith, baptism, repentance..... and endure to the end) And at the
end mi companera and I were waiting in the chapel in white. And I was playing
"beautiful" piano music as they walked in. And the point was that if
they endured, they could get into the celestial glory. And we talked about the
temple and why we were in white, etc. Anyway, there's that. I just never want
to do that activity again.... :) hahaha
Anyway, Saturday. At first we
climbed this beautiful hill that I love so much to help a less-active, named
Yessenia. She's really an awesome woman. Trying to be the best Mom she can and
provide for her kids. She makes and sells delicious Corn Tamales. But she
wasn't there!! ugh.
So! On to plan B! Look for a contact
that we had, but the streets are weird and we asked a family on the side of the
road the name of the street, and of course introduce ourselves and they
actually asked us if we had time!!! So we had a first lesson with Carmen,
Sumela, and Angeles. And they accepted to be baptized!! And that was actually a
really big miracle, because we had a goal of 4 new investigators, but nothing
had happened all week!! Until Saturday.
And then, we received a referral
from a member after lunch. That never happens either. Everybody says, "oh,
everybody!" or "oh, nobody wants to hear." And we contacted her.
And she came to church! Hopefully we can progress a lot with her.
Then we made a contact in the street
with someone named Erika. Turns out her brother had been baptized already. And
not sure when, but he passed away. So, Erika knew about the church a LONG time
ago, but for some reason or another never had the chance to be baptized. But
after a lesson with her, she said she wants to prepare to be baptized. Another
Investigator. And she came to church, and it was all awesome!
Next Monday is transfers...AGH I'm
so nervous! I don't know what I'm going to do if they send Hermana Bobadilla
away!! wwhhaaaaahaaaaa Pero, esta bien.
It looks like I might actually get
to teach piano this week!! I'll...let you know if it ACTUALLY
happens...and...well...yeah, we'll see.
Random fact: It rains a lot here in
July and August. It's still hot and humid during the day, but at night, there
are some crazy awesome lightning and thunderstorms!! The other night it rained
so much it looked like a river was in the road.
Another random fact: Just because
you ask for "agua" doesn't mean you get water. "Agua
Natural" is definitly water. But a lot of times "agua" can be
"agua con limon" or "agua de piña" or something.
Here are some photos to prove that
I'm alive.
That tree is really big and I expect one like it in the backyard when I get home ;)

Good Times!
Have a good week, and thank-you so
much for your letters :)
Keep 'em coming. *cough* please :)
Love your favorite Missionary,
Hermana Daniels
