Wow, what a week, well, Halloween came and went, some people celebrated it here, it´s kind of a fad thing because it´s american, some people really don´t like it. I got a package from Malia Pruitt with candy 2 days later, so that was really nice, also she included some halloween tissues and glow sticks. For Halloween I was Hna. Larsen and she was me. We switched name tags... :) we told people we were dressed up and they didn´t get it at first.. hah.
Shirley´s baptism went great! She was laughing when she came out of the water!! She was really happy.A lot of members came to support her. Her grandma gave her testimony and it was really special. After we went to her house and her grandma served us cake. When we were walking there it started pouring rain!! We didn´t get too wet but her grandma made us change shirts and she gave us towels to put over our heads because it was still raining when we went home. We are excited because Shirley´s baby had surgery, and it went well, and he will come home in 2 weeks!!! The sad part is that she doesn´t have anything for this baby, only one bottle. We told the RS president that it would be good to have a baby shower for her. Hno. Menacho baptized her. He is the husband of Ericka, our pensionista. I don´t know why she´s not in any of these pictures.
Saturday Hna Larsen was sick all day, we only went to the baptism and to eat cake after. Sunday she started feeling bad too. She slept all morning, I almost didn´t think we would be able to come to internet. Her whole body hurts, especially her back, she says she´s never felt this kind of pain before. I´m afraid its... dun dun dun.. dengue! I hope not!!! please Pray for my poor companion!! I don´t know why this keeps happening, it feels like we are always struggling with our health this cambio. But I know the Lord always has a reason. Hope you alll feel better soon too.. no fun to be sick.
Day of the dead... people here go to the cemetery and visit their dead family members.. dad, mom, grandma, brother, etc. They eat their favorite foods ther ein the cemetery (not everyone but some). that´s about it.
we ate shwaerma and falafel in the fidalga the other day! it´s a mall type place with a food court. it was good, and hna larsen really like dit, it was the first time to try it for her.
My eyes;;; have not bothered me at all this week. Maybe it was just stress?? I don´t know, I might still have them checked but i dont know. will seee what happens.
Christmas::: I don´t know what else... some mascara? i can´t find any good mascara here... umm... I don´t know. Whatever you think.
Sandra, our investigator, is ready for baptism. She had her interview yesterday, but sadly her baptism isn´t until the 19th. She goes out of town every other weekend for work, so we just decided to get it done early and get it out of the way. Today is her birthday, she is turning 21. Her boyfriend is a member of the ward and is like 35. Kind of weird, he wants to get married but she doesn´t. Whatever, the important part is that she has a testimony of the gospel and she wants to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized.
have a fun vacation!! Wish i was there!!! But glad i am here.
love you all. be good! Hna. Tibbitts
