What is up my fantastical friends and fam! This week was absolutely amazing I can't believe that I get to be out here doing this work for 2 years i'm going to love every second of it.
First off, yeah we done got evicted. A few weeks ago the people that we were renting with told us that they had "other plans" for the apartment so we couldnt live there anymore so yeah only a few weeks in and already havjng super fun experiences. We moved all of our stuff from one apartment yo a new one the only problem is that the only one that they could find was a 30min walk to our sector, and a hour and a half walk to the chapel so like hey, imma be super fit from all this walking, gonna be super awesome. Oh we also figured out that we had to install our own gas, but the problem with that sentence is that we figured that out... first day in the new apartment was an amazing ice bath, 36 degree water in 32 degree wether (no heaters yet). God has a funny way of helping us be greatful that is for sure but i have no complaints. The showers felt great after the fact and now we're up and running!
This week was great for me to have, we were able to help so many people wether it be through service teaching or just laughing together we found ways to love the people. Enphasis on laughing together. Ive found out that no matter what language you speak everyone can understand laughter, i always find so much joy when we are meeting with our amigos who have kids. All of these kids will crack up just from a silly face and a single high pitched laugh from one of these kids can make the entire room smile. That is something that no language barrier can stop and it has brought me comfort when i struggle to understand the language.
Anywho something awesome that happened this week was a ward party last friday, we were celebrating the countries Columbia and Venezuela. There was so many interesting foods to try that were all so delicious and we were able to get out friends to go! We had a family of 7 attend the event and they all had a wonderful time and were able to connect more with the ward. Its so awesome when you can bring others to the church and everyone just loves them in half a second, that is one of the main things that i love about the church of jesus christ of latter day saints, it is all centered around love. We all are in this together and we can share our trials with our ward family, they can support us and help us know that we are cared for, because that is what Jesus would do.
I also have a favor to ask of yall, we have amigos who have been struggling recently. They love the lessons we teach and love to have us over but they struggle with keeping commitments and going to church. If yall could send some prayers up for them that would be amazing, they are an awesome family and I know that the power of prayer can help them out. Prayer is one of the greatest gifts we have and i know that it can help out this family and help our you guys personally as you have that conversation with God and showing faith that he hears you. This would be so awesome, if you need help with how to pray hit me up with an email and we'll figure it out together!
Absolutley love everyone of you!
