Hey everyone!!! how was your week!? this week
fleeeww by!!! i cant believe it’s already Monday again!!! hah!! I really wish
at this point that I had brought more clothes, umbrellas, and shoes for the
rain because it POURS every single day!!! no joke the streets flood and there
are rivers going down them and we have to walk through that!! It’s pretty gross
when something brushes up against your leg and you look down and see poop
floating there but that is life!! i try not to think of what is in the water we
are walking in, since you see men and dogs leave nice surprises for you!!
gross!!! but yeah, the buses drive by and send water flying so it’s a race to
see who can dash from one safe spot to the other without getting soaked and the
people riding the buses seem to enjoy that very much!!! they just laugh at us
as Hermana Hernández screams when the cold water hits us and at these points,
you might as well just jump cause you don’t really stand a chance of staying
dry with how far we have to follow this Street!! struggle!!! but it’s fun!!
This week we've been getting excited about conference. Saturday for the general womens session they
only had it in Spanish so me and Hermana Jones were pretty lost- hopefully we
can find it in English!!! On Saturday we went house shopping all day because
they are splitting our area and adding a new set of elders so we had one day to
find a house for them! what!? Eventually we found something that will work, but
it's at the top of three flights of stairs, and one of them is a spiral small
staircase so good luck to the new elders getting their stuff up there, let
alone the beds they need!!! The spanish is coming along!! it feels like I’m
progressing soooo slow, but then when i look back at the week, i am surprised
with how much i have learned and grown!!! It’s also really weird to try and
talk about the gospel in English and when we find people who want to talk in English
with me, i share it in english, i can barely get it out though!! It’s pretty
bad!! but hopefully that is a good sign!! i also love love love learning
about the atonement and the great gift that the savior has given us!! What a
great opportunity we have to be forgiven of all of our sins and become
perfected in him!!! It’s incredible how much he loves each and every one of
us!!! so this week is changes and a lot of the missionaries that I’ve gotten
pretty close with are leaving tomorrow so that is pretty sad!!! So can i just
say that i am soooo grateful for awesome members that love to help out the
missionaries!!!! we have this older couple in our Ward that make us pancakes,
and allow us to use there home for lessons, contacts, and family home evening
messages with new converts, investigators, or others and they are just the
best! i love the Alfaro’s!!! We played some soccer last Monday as a zone and we
played Norte’s (americans) vs. Latinos so we could speak English and they had
no idea what was going on! We gave them Nicknames like Daisy and galaxy and it
was just tons of fun!! haha!! i love playing socer!!! Some of the elders (key
Word some, as in 2) are really really good so it’s fun to play with them!!
i tried my first cow tongue this week and of
course they had me eat it before they told me what it was—for good reason!!! But,
it was actually surprisingly good and i ended up eating the rest of it!! hah!!
but yeah, its always an adventure –the food that i find here!"!! Life
has been awesome and its crazy to see how many people are soooo ready for the gospel!!
even if they don’t know it –what a great blessing it is to have it in our
lives!! My challenge to you for the week: invite a friend or a stranger to meet
with the full time missionaries and help them find this great happiness we
have!! It is such a blessing and so many of us take it for granted!!! I
looooove getting letters and would love to get some from all of you if you just
want to send them!!! for reals, getting letters is the best!!! wow!! sorry for
the awful spelling!! with learning Spanish, i cant spell in either languages these
days so forgive me—it throws me off pretty hard core when people talk to me in English
because i always try to respond in Spanish and it ends up being spanglish!!!
ha!! good times!! love you all and hope you all have super duper fantastic
weeks!!!!!
love hermana morris
