Well,
Happy Valentines Day everyone. Yes, Valentines Day is a thing here. Our
Valentines Day was spent at church and then teaching some lessons, the
usual. BUT one of the members in our ward made us pizza and so we went
there and ate Valentines Pizza which was pretty great.
So,
Carnival. I can't believe that Carnival was just this past week. This
week has felt so long but so short at the same time. We didn't have
hardly any time to go out and work this week because we couldn't leave
Monday or Tuesday and then on Wednesday we had interviews with President
Dennis which ended up taking a long time because we were misinformed
about when to show up and yeah so that was fun and then on Thursday we
had a multi-zone conference which took up most of the day so really we
only had the weekend to work, but it was still a good week. I don't
really have any crazy stories from Carnival. We did a deep clean of the
house and studied and cooked and it was pretty fun. So the members feed
us every day except Monday and so when we had to cook for ourselfes
Monday and Tuesday it was pretty different. But it was really good.
Hermana Reina, my companion from Ecuador, helped us make Arroz con
pollo, which is an Ecuadorian meal and it was delicious. On Tuesday we
made Spaghetti because it was Hermana Gonzales' birthday!! and it's her
favorite meal. Other than that though, not much happened.
Oh,
also, Johan's baptism was super great! I was so happy because during
the little message that Elder Lee gave about baptism and the Holy Ghost,
Johan was answering his questions and it really showed me that deep
down, Johan really knew why he was being baptized. I felt somewhat like a
proud parent....Sometimes when we left lessons with Johan I felt like
all was lost and that he literally learned nothing- in one ear and out
the other, but that night I got to see that all was not lost and that he
really did learn the importance of baptism. All I have to say is
Primary Teachers, parents, anyone who works with kids, don't give up
hope! Your efforts are not wasted. Kids are crazy and sometimes (like a
lot of times) don't listen to what we are saying, or we think they
aren't listening, but they are. They learn and they know, deep down,
what is right. So keep up the good work and keep on teaching them
correct principles.
Anyway,
this letter isn't too long but I hope you all have a good week! I love
you so much! Thank you for all your letters and love and support!
P.S. I led the music in sacrament meeting on Sunday...that was fun
