OK so this week was tons better!!! It was transfers, and well I am still with my companion so that’s awesome... Haha we werent expecting to be transferred... But we had a rough Wed, I actually slept through personal study because we had too many important lessons, and I was feeling quite sick. But two of those lessons have brought us 3 really good new investigators.. So I guess it was still a little blessing for staying positive. The new investigators are Isumi (17), and Karla and Karla (a mom and daughter).
So we were super excited about them, also we found Sonia again, who was a reference from another member. Anyway she read the BOM a ton. She told us she always knew that she needed to find out more about our church, which is seriously a blessing because she believes everything we teach. Plus she gives us really good food after we teach her so that’s a huge plus.
It hasnt rained since that one night, and frankly that’s a good thing because hardly any of the members believe it will come, and some houses won’t make it with all of the rain. But others say it is definitely coming, all I know is that we are told to be prepared to stay a whole week inside without being able to leave... So we have food and water, toilet paper, and a lot of random things to keep us entertained for a whole week.
The Spanish is coming... Slowly but still coming... I can teach and we don’t really practice what exactly I need to say, and she likes to push me a little and stop at different parts in the lesson to make me teach different parts everytime, a few lessons I lead the lesson, so overall I feel good with my Spanish. I am understanding my LDM (Libro de Mormon aka Book of Mormon) but it’s a lot slower... but I understand, so I have actually put away my English scriptures already. It was kinda sad, but ok... It’s good to grow some.
I love the mission, I love our investigators, and I love my companion. Also everyone tells me that I started in the hottest place and I am here for summer, so everywhere I go after should be cooler!!! That made me super excited. Ha ha.. ANYWAY Have a great week! I love you all
A couple of answers from Katie to Mom’s questions:
M: Are you going to have to change apartments?
K: no we will just need sand bags to stack so water doesn't get in..
M: Being a missionary is such an awesome experience!!! You're in it, doing it, but from the outside I stand in awe.
(This is probably not the response Mom was looking for)
K: its amazing mom... really awesome here... my comp and I will be walking and hear a gunshot... don’t worry it’s never at someone.. Just up in the air when they are drunk and we’re like: Hermana we aren’t in America.... also don’t be worried about the gun shot.. It’s never super close ha ha and generally when we hear it we are close to the elders area so it’s generally from their areas..
M: You doing good? REALLY?
K: I am I love it here...
