Good afternoon! I am sister Tangedal! hahhaa learning kichwa. trying... trying.. it's hard!! This week, the fleas and bedbugs violated me hahaha. I have the prettiest bites all over my body. We all do. Those of us that have served in Otavalo, it's the mark. hahahaha, but his week has been amazing.:) We had our reunión de distrito ( district meeting) and it was great! it's just us and 2 elders, and it was about talking to all the people, because it's not right that we walk past people all the time and don't share the message with them!! And so, mi compañera y yo (my companion and I) decided to put that in practice and seriously follow the spirit, sooo we had a plan fall through and we were like.. hmm lets go find Martiza!! and we went, but we found a young mom instead and we have an appointment with her this week. Then we went to Martizas house and we found her dad that TOTALLY blew us off. and we're like.. ok... so we said a prayer and thought, where should we go? I super felt like we neded to contact this one house, but there was a dog....... but what's new? the dog is going to try to kill us? Nothing new. I'm just so thankful that I haven't been biten yet!!! - knocks on wood-, and so we went and the guy just blew us off and we just stood there and didn't move and then like a minute later, his wife came out of nowhere and we started talking to them and they had so many questions and want to know more. :))) yaye!! they wanted to come to church, but we had ...uh voting? they voted for the mayor of the pueblo, sooooo they couldn't come, but they accepted a fecha bautismal (a baptismal date), and we're soooo happy!!! :D
From there, we went walking to find another investigator, but along the way, I felt like. hey we need to contact that house, and so we did and the lady, Gabriela, had so many questions that are ALL answered by the plan of salvation and the restoration. ahhhh so happy!!!! she is stoed about the gospel and we are going to try to teach her when her esposo, husband, who is catolic also, is home. Man, what a greatlife. hahahhahaohhhhhhhhh
Soooo there is this family, less active and one daughter hasn't gotten baptized, but she is super rebelious. we invited her to get baptized, but then since then she told the family to lie to us and say she's not there. I think the mom is doing the same, but just to be annoying, we go every single day to see how they are dfoing hahaha and the litle boy is like 4 always says, they're not here!!! And I was like... oh is your mom here? and hes like no
your dad? no
your sister? no.
your other sister? no.
your other sister? no.
your other sister? no.
your other sister? no.
Ohhh OK, then why do I hear them talking in the house???? and he just looked at me like ohhh crappp- hahahahahah and I was like. "kuyak, why are you lying to us?" haha yeah. that's right. and he just stayed silent. Little liar, then seconds later, the dad came and he's a less active recent convert and he's awesome. we want to fet him back in the church, but he is ealing with guilt because he isn't keeping the WOW (Word of Wisdom); and he saw his son and was like "kuyak, is mom home?" and he was like................yeah............ and the dad told him to go get her, and he was like... she says she doesn't want to come, she's busy.
Soooo, they have been lying to us forever. haha not surprised, but I was soooo happy to have caught him in his lie!!! hhahhahhaa, man I love my mission. omg!!!
We watched a sister milk her cow and the cow was calling it's baby and the bull came running and we were like omg! haha and ran in the house right in front of us! and then the little boy was like oh yeah that bull is very aggressive. hahaha and then, then we saw steam coming from the bulls nose!!! I thought that was only in cartoons!!!!!! hahahha and so we taught a short lesson to the little boy who's house we ran into and he prayed for us to be safe from the bulls and we felt so much better hahahah.
Oh my gosh. andnadhajsdhksjfhh and last Sunday hahhhahaha we invited a less active member to come to church, but he tried escaping, so we went by the door to block it and we saw this truck coming to the church and all the dogs chasing it and barking and then this dog came out of nowhere and pushed one of the dogs under the car and it got run over and I was like jkdfhgjhgjkhgjkhsdgsdfjkh blahhhhh fgjdgkjhdghdgfh in shock and we're like omg "anote la placa !! anote la placa!!! (get the licence plate) OMG!!!! it's familia Guajan Panama!!!" Hahhahahah it was a famiily from the church, hahah. The dog is fine, it just has a broken leg, but it's a punk anyway, haha trust no dogs here!!! No dogs. I gave a dog a piece of chicken though and it came and kissed my feet later that day hahha I was like yeah that's right,, ñusta Tangedal (queen tangedal in kichwa). what else...
Oh gosh, and carnival is starting and we're hiding in an Internet cafe because the people outside are throwing water balloons at every girl who walks by and is shooting foam at them and flour. During carnaval we are going to be locked inside unless we have sure appointments, otherwise, no, we can't go outside. Apparently, our sector gets super crazy. hahaha woot!!! Well, life is great! The genocide of the fleas starts when my comp and I get home. We gon kill em!! kill em all!! ohh hahahahha
We had our house blessed and dedicated because that ghost just wanted to make a mess!!! First it spilled the oil, then makes creepy noises, then oh this week, I was sleeping and then all of the sudden, the light switch flipped on and off. It wasn't just the light, it was the switch, and then, we were sitting at our desk and it smacked a stack of papers on the floor right off sister Cajas desk! hahaha then... i think it was yesterday when the door opened to the balcony while we were just siting there. We don't feel scared, but it's just like... really?, leave us alone ghost! Go home ghost. you drunk! hahahah :) but the house feels better now that it has been dedicated. :) o man I love my mission. so many crazy awesome things. Friday, we had personal revelation after personal revelation and it was the best thing ever! I know Heavenly Father is blessing us, our families, and is preparing these people for us. I love everything!!! yeah it's hard, but I have learned a lot of things that I needed to learn and I feel so much better :) Still, I'm the bruja,( witch), because I have been super following the spirit this week, it is like to the point that I'm picking names out of heads. haha I love it!!! And this week we have been talking super fresa, just joking, but omg I have almost peed my pants hna Cajas does it sooo funny!!! mom you know what fresa is , right?
Anyways, I love you guys and know that I am safe, covered in bites, but safe and life is awesome!!!!! Always follow the spirit!! Oh yeah last story hahha, so this dog that lives next door omg. tries to kill us. but today and yesterday it hasn't barked at us... Idk what happened!!?? But anyways, one night I felt, "take out the keys" but I didn't do it because I was like nahhhh, and we advanced and see the dog on the balcony and I was like be careful there is the dog! And we do, and she comes down and starts barking and chasing us and hna cajas picks up a rock and then the dog backs off a little and then comes closer and then she picks up another rock and it backs off and then comes closer and we're like inching to the house as I'm SCRAMBLING for the key!!!! and she's like LLAVES! KEYS!!!! Hahaha and I'm like I'm trying I'm trying !! ROCK!!! And the dog keeps advancing and finally I open the door and we jump inside and slam the door and just BUST UP LAUGHING. omg,. God is so funny.
Despite there not being too much spiritual material in here, this week has been amazing :) I'm so happy with it.:) We were able to find so many new people and we feel soooo great about them and them progressing!!! :D yaye!!!
Well, I will try not to die this week : hahahha nah I wont. God is seriously soooo freaking awesome I love Him!!!!
