There and Back Again a Missionary's Tale: Umbrella and Mosquitos

When the sun shines, we'll shine together

Told you I'd be here forever

Said I'll always be a friend

Took an oath I'ma stick it out 'til the end

Now that it's raining more than ever

Know that we'll still have each other

This week has been pretty good. I liked it. I got a package from home, YAY! With tons of jerky! Jerky doesn't exist here, so I was super happy.

I ate pumpkin seeds, yum! Three magnum ice cream bars this week... YUM. YUM. YUM! Oh, and two hamburgers!

I finished my personal progress! I just need to get it all signed off etc. and LISTO! It was a really good learning experiance and helped me to study more efectivly.

It rained a ton, and I found myself singing and dancing the umbrella song, well because people kept loaning us their umbrellas and we had a million by the end of the week! It was pretty funny.

Something random, I miss reading. I want to read books again, I have a strange craving to read The Lonesome Gods. Also everyone keeps talking about a book that was written by one of the prophets I cant remember which one, but it´s called the Miracle of Forgiveness...I think I had to just translate it from Spanish. I want to read it so bad, but I can't get it in english here. So if anyone wants to send me a copy, I will love them forever!

I also freaked my companion out this week because I woke her up in the night because I was sobbing hard in my sleep for like an hour. She told me that she was scared and not sure if she should wake me up or just leave me be. Weird. I normally don't talk, sing, snore, or anything in my sleep.

This week we are going to have another baptism. God is really blessing us in our work. Its amazing!

There are TONS of mosquitos right now, and I have bites all over my legs. It sucks! Good thing I brought meds for that. I find myself singing a song about mosquitos by Vennesa Paradis...not sure if that´s how you spell it...because when somehting itches or and insect bites here we call it a pika. UGH! I do not like mosquitos!

I also learned how to make personalized mugs with sand blasting this week. Its weird I know but thats what one of my investigators does for a living so he helped us to make three mugs each. One of the mugs has a picture I drew of my comp and the other a picture I drew of myself. SOOO CUTE!
