Pupusas and Cafe Rio and enchiladas

Not a ton happened this week, but we did get some stellar food!

Starting with pupusas that a blind lady made for us. She went completely blind a few years ago but has been making pupusas since she was 10. So, it's all muscle memory now. The pupusas were straight fire. 

Then, last week a member heard me and Hanson talking about how much we love Cafe Rio, so she decided to invite us over for some homemade Cafe Rio. If you know me at all, you know this was the highlight of my week.
 
Lastly, the Mejias. They made us some fine Mexican cuisine, enchiladas and oh my they were delicious. The Mexican food is starting to grow on me, slowly but surely. 

Last week we were able to have our fast and testimony meeting all in Spanish, which was sooo sweet for our Spanish members. About 4x more members show up when they know it's going to be in Spanish so that was awesome. 

This week we knocked on quite a few doors, saw them open the curtains, peek to see it was the missionaries, and promptly close the blinds and turn off the lights. I'm not sure if they think we can't see this happening,,,, but we do, everytime, hahahaha. 

God is Good!! The book is blue and its full of goodness! 
love you allll!

La Vida - Missionary Style

Since i probably won't write a letter muahaha I decided I'd write you guys one since I don't think I've ever done that  My week was good. My comp is good she's super fun. She definitely likes to work a little ~slower~ which is an adjustment but it's alright.  Had a zone conference with our new president and his 6 kids, his youngest is 3! Haha it was funny they introduced themselves and the 3 yr old was up there screaming the whole time lol. His oldest is 15, I think. His wife speaks pretty good Spanish, she studied it in college, although never served a mission. They lived in China for a few years, because when you're super rich you can do that kind of thing. So, they all speak fluent Chinese so that's kind of weird.  But ya he's cool.   He goes "ya when I got here, I thought president Escobar was going to talk to me about the rules and the standards, but he just gave me like 50 hugs"  It was SO funny because that's very typical preside

Hermana Party Planning

  Hii everyone What a weeeek!!  Started off getting a random vaccine from a south american doctors office, that looked like it belonged in a horror movie, in hopes of not getting deported haha. Do I know what it was for? No. But my arm really hurts Other than that, this week was pretty dang good!! We were walking down the street one day when we met Irene, who we ended up talking to and sharing a scripture with. Halfway through, she told us she was a member of our church, but just hadn't been since she was 14. She invited us over for dinner the next day and we ended up having a really powerful lesson about the Book of Mormon with her and her husband who is not a member. Then on Sunday they all came to church, it was the best miracle ever!!  The second-best part of this week though was definitely the ward party. My comp and I have turned into the party planning committee because this ward hasn't had any activities since covid. So, we planned weekly FHE, ven sigue me, and a talent

Family History Baptism

Well just start off with the best news ever!! The Perez family was baptized this Saturday!!! Best. Day. Ever.  About a month and a half ago Hermana Fernández and I started teaching Liliana and her kids. It's been so incredible to watch them change and progress in the gospel. From the first time they came to church, they were super committed to the gospel. Her jóvenes have been attending all the activities and when we see them their countenances are just beaming.  The baptismal was a tad bit loco, but in a good way (mostly) hahah.  When we got to the church, the font was filled up like maybe a foot. We were like ahhh crap. We vigorously started filling pots of water and dumping them in the font it was a sight to behold that's for sure.  Sooo many people came to support them, which meant we were all super squished into the room with the baptismal font. Like super squished hahah.  Everything was going great until the Hermano who was directing the meeting decided to take some liber
