Holllla! how is everyone??? Well its weird to think that i am about to go into my third week in the field! This week has been good! we've taught more lessons than usual and we got 4 NEW investigators this week!! yay! We were pretty excited about that! and yesterday we had 2 investigators at church!! Doesnt sound like a lot but it is. Ha people just dont like to come to church. And lots of people just cant come to church cuz they work on sundays so thats a big/annoying problem. Because we have 2 investigators that would get baptized if they could come to church. Hopefully after the holidays they will be able to get work off. We are praying. So we picked up one of our new investigators actually at church yesterday. He came with his wife & daughter. The wife is a member and the girl is 7. Cutest girl award. So apparently she loveees loves primary and begssss her parents to come to church. what a little angel right? haha and her dad (our new investigator) said when he comes home from work he will grab a beer and open it to start to drink and the daughter will come grab it from him and poor it out and say daddy thats bad. haha like i said...Angel right? shes the cutest. the difference a 7 year old is making in her parents life. We should all strive to be like her and set an example for everyone. awesome. And the other investigator we picked up is the daughter of a member who is like 20 and her boyfriend. We were over just talking to The member and the younger daughter when the boyfriend came over and just sat down and started listening to our lesson. so then the older daughter came in and sat in to listen. MIRACLE. everyone is shocked that they are listening! especially the daughter! ha shes crazzzy. but hopefully they will continue to progress. They literally started from the bottom though. they didnt believe in God or anything. But we got the boyfriend to pray in our first lesson so that was awesome and he actually read what we assigned him to read! yayyy! But the bummer part is...we have to give them both over to the english sisters because the boyfriend doesnt speak spanish :( ha so story of the week....We had a dinner appointment at the Lazaros (One of the families we went to for thanksgiving) and i have NEVER come so close to throwing up. oh my goodness. haha. They feed us sooo much. and if you dont eat something right away that they set out he goes.. .oh what? you dont like this? try it. eat it. So we have to eat it. and this time they were all just sitting in the room with us so we couldnt get our containers out. worst thing ever. haha. and after the HUGGGE meal. literally about to blow. She brings out 2 whole canteloupes ( dont know how to spell that haha) i couldnt take it ( and this girl can eat A LOT) so just imagine how much food i was eating. ew. But i was trying so hard to eat the fruit but i got to the point i seriously couldnt take another bite. So i grab a wad of paper towels...wait till they turn away just grab half the fruit and shove it in my purse. haha. oh my goodness. i felt sick the rest of the night. But i cannot tell you how amazing some of the food i have eaten this week is. I LOVE Mexican food. Hermana Bravos (one of the greatest women alive) tacos are the BESTTTTT! We helped her make homemade tortillas last p-day (sooo good). And we ate them with Cactus on them. Sooo good. So we go see the cutest little old albanian lady every friday as basically service but we teach her as well. shes 83. We go over and read the book of mormon with her. We read it in English and she follows along with Albanian cuz she is more comfortable reading in Albanian. She wants to be baptized but refuses to be baptized until her grand daughter gets back from her mission. but her grand daughter just left. so we are really worried cuz Rose is super sick. we dont know if she will make it that long. So we are trying really hard. She is seriously the cutest and nicest woman though. She calls us her little angel. and everytime we ask her if we can do something for her she says Noo das alright honeys. So we just start doing it. ha. Love her. Well the spanish is still super frustrating. But its ok. Itll commme. Well i dont really know what else to say. but i hope you are all doing well and staying warm. I hear the weather has been crazy in utah. I decided its way colder in utah. haha its only been 30's here. so it hasnt been bad. you can definitley tell that the humidity makes what it is feel colder but it hasnt been too cold yet. We just got our first bit of snow yesterday. there is a huge problem with ice here tho. We almost crashed yesterday ( my companions driving scares me. She is from Arizona so has never driven in snow before) but we were crossing a bridge yesterday and it was iced over. We slid like 10 feet and almost rammed a car. esta bien tho. scary moment.wellll illl talk to you next week! hasta luego! peace, love, and blessings
love, hermana Josse
