Week 21

Happy B-day Big AL! I love you! Try not to grow up too much before I get home! Speaking of getting home I am at 5 months which is basically 6 months which is basically 1/3 of my mission! Which is basically my whole mission! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I already feel the part of me that doesn't want to come home.

So I am in Chorrillos Laureles. Look it up. Its pretty sweet we've even got a Pizza Hut here! Yeaaaah. It's way different and my arera is actually super small.  I was not transfered for danger reasons. It was because we had some missionaries in our mission that were temporary and they left to their real missions.

 I am with another North American! Which is never done! This is the first time Pres. did it because there is going to be alot more North Americans coming. It's pretty dangerous having 2 gringas together. I am with Hermana Del Rosario basically my favorite Hermana from the group in the MTC .We could not believe that we were going to be comps. It's basically so fun! We are so funny together. It's hard to be funny in Spanish and I feel like a different person when I can be funny and talk in English. SO it's nice to be able to express myself and be myself for a change. It's hard though because we don't want to talk in English but we do alllll the time. And now somtimes the English slips into my Spanish! But it's ok because we are only together till the end of this transfer then I am probably going to train a newbie here

( mark my words!) 

This area is a little more sketchy. We totally have drunk people out in the streets all the time. I almost pee my pants everyday, I am so scared. But God really protects us, so I don't feel too in danger. But yeah we have had some experiences. I tell you them when I get home haha. Also the other day we were attacked by a dog! It BIT my backpack. AAARRRREE YOU KIIIIIIIIDING ME! I was so scared! I kicked it in the face too! Yeah! I also hid behind my poor comp.

Speaking of poor, I was throwing up all morning. This was the first time I have gotten sick. We ate with the members last night and something did not sit right. #livinthelife! #joyofeatingwithmembers

The members REALLY like us. No joke. They love us. And this ward is already so much better than my branch in Canete. There are actually people that do their callings! I think ima love it here. 

Everyone says how we are their angels and go on and on about how much they love us. But it's just because right now God is using us to show his love for his children. It's weird being on this side of things. And its really helping me love them more, because I can feel the love God has for them when he uses me to show his love. God is good.

We tried to make Choc chip cookies (Gregs recipe) didn't really work out! But its just because they have weird and different ingredients here! Everyone  thought they were delicious so thats all that matters.
