WOW!
Everything at home is moving 100mph!
I just want to say that I think I have the prettiest mission in the whole world. This really is the land of many waters and everything is green. So much vegetation and bugs, unfortunately. It rains so much here but it brings the temperature down a little!
We still walk everywhere, I wish we had bikes here. Okay, I think I am starting to like the food a lot. I pretty much eat everything! If my mom saw everything I was eating she would be so proud of me! lol. There are a lot of weird bugs here and so many lizards everywhere. I was walking through some tall grass next to a dirt road because it was flooded from all the rain and I just had to stop and take a picture. I really should do better at taking more pictures but I can't even capture all the jungle so I just gave up.I've never been bitten by so many mosquitoes in my life but I think i can start to feel them now its insane my senses are improving! I think this is the happiest I've been in a very long time.
There is so much green but there is also so much trash along the roads so Elder Sorensen and I took a pic at the tree of trash it's kinda just where everyone throws their trash and there is so many random things there.
The beginning of this week was a little harder. We had, what looked like, a ton of good progressing people genuinely interested. After Tuesday and Wednesday, everything looked like it just started to fall. Everyone started to cancel and things just always seemed to not work out.
It seems that once something doesn't work out or we feel an impression to try a new way to a certain place that the Lord places people in our path that needed to be there. We had three people contact US and want to learn more when we were supposed to be at other appointments but they cancelled. We walked ages to one of the furthest neighborhoods in our area and when we were about half a mile away we got a text saying something came up. We turned around and got stopped by a man on a moto saying he had been looking for missionaries he met with them in Ohio and had been through the discussions and that the Book of Mormon was true. There are so many experiences that come from the Lord micromanaging his work its so cool.
I met a woman named ?¡¡??¡ shes so cute shes a little abuela that lives in a small tin house through a road in the middle of the jungle. We contacted her on the side of the street and asked if there was a time we could come back and she said yes. turns out she gave us the wrong address lol. We are meeting with a member and she tells us she has a reference and it turns out it is that same woman her aunt. She gave us the real address and we went. We had two lessons with her. After the second lesson, she says "I'm gonna be honest with you sweet jovens" she said she wasn't interested in changing churches or hearing from us when we met her on the street but she read the Book of Mormon and couldn't deny it. The Power of the book of Mormon is especially powerful here. This is the foundation of it and it really is something that cannot be described. The Book of Mormon is true and I have seen it bring Happiness to my life and others.
I love all of y'all so much!
