Week 7 in Chihuahua - January 22, 2018

So this week had its ups and downs. First I gave my first blessing in Spanish. It was pretty darn bad haha. I tried my best but I know it was bad.

 

It was for a member that has been trying to get pregnant but can't and she and her husband are really worried. So I'm really hoping that the blessing works because that would just be awesome if it did. So I've made sure to keep them in my prayers. 

 

The name is la familia cruz mendoza if any of you wanna throw a prayer their way. They are really awesome people and feed us all the time and will not let us wash the dishes after we are done eating because they don't want us to work haha.

 

Another thing that happened was I was contacting and everyone I was talking to was okay, but then there was this one girl who I asked if she believed in God and she said yes and then I asked if she attends a church and she said no but I want to, and I was like hmmmm really lemme just show you to our baptismal font... hahah. No I didn't say that but we have returned to talk to her some more and she's never home.

 

The funny story for the week is that I was contacting with this other white kid and we were talking to this lady who was going off about how we are going to hell because we aren't baptized right and all this stuff and she was so mad and so I was trying to leave and so I said okay have a good night and she just keep screaming stuff and so my comp leaned over to me and said... just let her ramble... and then she said WHAT and my comp said um nothing hahaha. And then she kept screaming at us and I kept on pretending to fake cough because I was laughing but its all good.

 

There has been like 6 fires in the last 4 days which is weird. and one day we were walking and there was a fire really close to our house and my comp said... did we remember to turn off the stove and I was like ummmmm I don't know... hahah then we ran for our house but it wasn't our house ... phew.

 

 A member brought us some food today and had this super spicy chili and said that it's like one of the spiciest in the world and at that moment I knew I had to try it. Holy cow, I will never make that mistake again! I drank like 5 glasses of water and my mouth hurt for so long! The chili is called habanero.. anyways thats all for this week, love you all.
