Hello everyone! Thanks for all of the support via email! You guys are so great and it sounds like everyone is doing well. Just to let you all know, a lot of you were concerned, we are fine as far as creepy men in our apartment go. The more we talk to different people, the more we think that our phone line got crossed somehow. Noone could have had copies of our keys and we are too far up for window entries. We haven´t had any problems since, so I really think we are safe and good. Our District leader is filling out a form anyway to send to the offices, telling them that they need to move us into the Pepinos house, so we will see what happens.
Now to the fun part, my subject line. I have bichos. aka, parasites. It is so fun! Can you catch the sarcasm? So we ate at the Lovato families house on Saturday, and immediately afterward, me and Larson felt so sick. Pretty much we had to stay somewhere with a toilet near by for the rest of the day and for all day Sunday too. I did manage to go to church, just with lots of breaks in between. It was real bad yesterday, but I am feeling pretty good today. Thelin says that I still have them, don´t be fooled, so I am taking a test tomorrow so I can get the pills and officially get rid of them. It´s like yesterday, my stomach would move and make the most noise I ever heard it make before, and about 15 minutes after that I would explode! It sucked, but now I can say that I´ve had bichos! Yay! I was thinking, Larsen names her bichos, so I thought we could have a name contest for mine. Email me your ideas, and I´ll let you know who wins!
Lots of you asked about the progress of the Lovato family. They were supposed to get baptized this past weekend, but the mother, Jeanet, wants her brother here for it and he lives on the coast, so now it is this Sunday right after church. They are an amazing family and love to talk to us. They come to church every Sunday and love it! They are so amazing, and I will try to remember to grab a picture of them so I can send it next week. They are so stong and really are excited about learning more and progressing. Their favorite topic is faith. They can talk forever too. We have learned to schedule them as our last cita for the day because if we schedule something after them, we never make it on time because they always talk to us forever, they just love us!
There is also our English class every Saturday, and it is coming along slowly. We give out so many fliers for it, and just not that many people show up. However, without fail, every Saturday this 8 yr old girl comes, named Alejandra, and each week she brings more friend. She isn´t a member of the church, but we have been teaching her and her older sisters, Juanita and Mariana. She is a doll though and loves us so much. It was funny because she came to class this past week wtih a beanie on her head, and she comes up to me and hugs me, whispers in my ear, want to know a secret? I was like, sure. She scooched her beanie back and she had shaved her head! I was like, Alejandra! Why did you do that! She shrugged and was like, there was too much of it! She is so funny and so cute!
Also, changes are tomorrow night, well, we get the call anyway and Wednesday everyone does the changing. Changes mean that missionaries could be transferred to new areas, they could be training, they could get new comps, etc. I just hope that we stay the same, me and Thelin in the same area. We are really good together and have more we need to do together. Usually they keep the trainers together wtih the newbie for at least two changes, so I am crossing my fingers, but Thelin has a feeling she is leaving. We do have 11 new hermanas coming to the mish this change, and only one of them is a gringa! It´s so crazy!
So that is pretty much my life! Nothing too exciting since the last time I wrote, but I´m sure that more will happen this week by the time I write next! Oh, and if anyone has any good stovetop only recipes, send them my way. Oh, and preferably without a lot of rice. No, I´m not sick of it yet, but everyone tells me taht I will get sick of it soon enough, and I just want to prolong that from happening. It would be greatly appreciated! I hope all is well and I love you all and until next week!
