Crazy Week

 

Snake eating an Iguana 

A stick and a rock for protection from the dogs :-0

HOLA

Ok this week was full of crazy stuff and I feel like I'll forget a lot but I'll try my best to put down the key points 

-We went to this small town to visit someone we are teaching.  We got there and she lives on a mountain and we were trying to find a way up the mountain.  We got lost and ended up finding an abandoned elementary school.  We were walking and then a kid appears out of nowhere and scares the heck out of us  but this kid was super cool and helped us out to find the path.  But right before he gave us two big sticks and said be careful there are a lot of dogs.  And Elder Cortés doesn't like dogs so he didn't want to go but I made us go anyway   The dogs didn't bother us but there were a few kids crawling on the mountain barefoot which was strange hahaha.  ALSO WE WENT TO THIS PLACE A FEW DAYS LATER and we saw a big snake eating an iguana so that was fun.  So this place is pretty interesting to say the least. Also it's called El Vigía, or the Watcher 

-Elder Cortés and I walked a TON this week so that was fun.  But we realized once we're reakly tired we get kinda loopy and we start laughing at everything and when we get home we laugh until our stomachs hurt so thats fun

- With all the crazy stuff going on in the world all the members are joking around with me and saying that I should get ready because they're going to take back California because we robbed it from them HAHAH  so that's been fun but I think some of them are low-key serious 

- I learned that being a missionary in English is hard.  Yesterday we talked to a guy who grew up in the states and when we walked by he was like, "What's up Utah?"  And I told him I was from California and then he asked me why I wasn't more tan then  but explaining missionary stuff is SO hard in English but the guy was super cool and has some crazy stories.

-A lot of crazy stories with drunk guys so I don't even know where to start with that one.

-Also we don't know how or why but a bunch of big flies entered out house yesterday and in the past 12 hours I have killed 20 flies and the war between us is pretty intense.  But we think we have finished them off.

Something so amazing I have seen this week is how much God wants to support us in absolutely everything!  We just have to let him do so!  Sometimes the work as a missionary is crazy, we walk in the heat and humidity in ties and long pants and we talk to everyone and it's crazy but I love it so much because I know it's the work of the Lord because I couldn't do it alone.  He will help us grow and improve little by little every day and is so happy on our growth even we are hard on ourselves.  I am so grateful for this knowledge!

Love Elder Lacey
