whatss up.
this week was pretty good! each week just gets a lil bit better.
first of all. we are still sitting at a solid 0 investigators. haha. its super lame! we find these awesome awesome people and we talk to them and they're super interested, but then they never answer our calls and they never answer the door and its super sad. I definitely think I'm being taught patience here in Los Angeles. but every morning and every night, we pray for the peoples hearts to be softened for us, and I just know there's a miracle right around the corner.
last week we were eating lunch with the relief societies family. She has two daughters who just returned from their missions in the last six months! One of them served in Salta, Argentina. I was like, "hey, I have a cousin there!" and she was like, "whats her name?" and I was like "Hermana Smith" and SHE SCREAMED!!!! She was nicoles trainer! super duper small world.
We had an "ATAQUE" this week with the sister training leaders and two returned missionaries. The six of us went on splits and just attacked our area looking for people to teach. and we found a lot! we have a lot of appointments set for this week, so hopefully everything works out.
Hermana Peralta fell last week and landed on her wrist, and its been super swollen and shes in a lot of pain, and also shes had a lot of problems with her stomach as well. SO. We spent most of the day thursday in the hospital. The doctor we were with is LDS and he spoke a little english and he was like, "let me guess, you're from Utah, you went to BYU, and all of your family is members." I guess I live a pretty common gringa life aye? but anyways, Thursday night I went on a intercambio with Hermana Giminez, because Hermana Peralta still felt kinda sick. I don't remember if I wrote about the English Professor last week, but the other Hermanas are teaching an English professor and he LOVES practicing his English with me. Everytime I show up with them he is super excited, and he always asks if I am going to come back. I told him he needs to come to church and then we can talk in English for hours! haha. He's super awesome though and I think hes going to get baptized real soon.
guys. I love it here. This city is soooo beautiful and the weather is great (and actually super hot) but the people are so patient with me and they're soooo nice and life is just perfect. the language is still really hard and I definitely am still struggling with it, but every day I feel like I understand a little bit more, and I know in a couple of months I will be JUST FINE!
gracias por todas! nos vamos!
con amor, hermana poyfair
