hope your week was FABULOUS.
what a week I had..
First of all, Angol is great. It really is SO BEAUTIFUL! Its this little city located in the middle of 2 big hills. Its super green and whole lot smaller than Los Angeles!
I remember when I first got the call that I was being transferred to Angol, I was super relieved because I have only been in the big city for my whole mission and I am just a city girl now, so it would be okay because i would still be in the big city right? well. Got a little reality check this week when I arrived, because the sector is divided into 2 parts, one part that is all of the city, and the other part that deals more with the country side of Angol. More houses, less city. It also means HILLS. LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF HILLS.
my knees love it, really.
guess I've been a little bit spoiled up until now. hahaha also our microwave is broken and we haven't had hot water since before I got here but its SO FINE because the mission rocks and life is so good and happy and its so fun to see a different part of this beautiful country.
My companion is awesome! her name is Hermana Freitas. Shes from Brazil and she's 28. Nine year age difference. pretty cool. Her conversion story is awesome and she is just a super hard worker and I really admire her alot. Also she's still learning spanish (like me) and she has a super hard time understanding me and I have a hard time understanding her but its okay because we are always laughing at the other persons accent and we are doing just fine. Already seeing miracles!
For example, last week we were contacting and we found this cute little old man that's basically deaf and can't understand either of us which is real funny but its okay because the spirit is teaching him like crazy. He is awesome, he accepted a baptismal date and was at church yesterday! wooooo miracles...
oh funny story. Last night we were walking home after a long day and Hermana Freitas was singing "I am a child of God" in portuguese so I joined in English. Well, there was this guy walking on the other side of the road, that crossed the street and asked, "Do you know English?" well, me, being the expert spanish speaker that I am, replied, "si, yo sabe ingles" which means, "yes, you know English." Which makes no sense. He turned to me with a confused look, to which I responded, "Don't worry, better than Español" hahahah oh the embarassment. Just when I think I got this language down, it slaps me in the face. :) hahahaha
but yeah! I am super happy here in Angol. Its so different but so good. The people here are so much more humble and willing to listen and accept the gospel. I love it.
THIS CHURCH IS SO TRUE
love hermana poyfair
