Mamasita!
Que
Pasa???? How are you?????
I am writing
early, so I hope you are watching your email!
This week has been crazy, but I have learned so freaking much. It is
crazy. I don’t even know where to begin.
I´ll start with my cool story. So
we knocked A LOT of doors this week, because all of our appointments fell
through. Knocking doors is interesting. But I
had a cool experience with it this week. It was my turn to knock a door. My first door And Hna Torres said that I needed to follow
the Spirit to tell which door was correct. So I was a little nervous. I felt
like I should knock on a door right in front of me, but I ignored this tiny
impression. I knocked on another door, but knew it wasn’t the right one. So we immediately turned around and went back
to the first door. A woman answered with her two cute boys, and she was very
interested in learning more. We found out a few minutes later that she is the
sister of one of our investigadores! CHARLA!
It was such a cool feeling. She even came to the activity that we had the next
night! We have a baptismal date for her already, and her sister is supposed to
be baptized as well in the next two weeks! I truly felt like an instrument in
the Lord´s hands. Let´s see... we also
had a noche de hogar with some teenage girls in our ward. One of them isn’t a member, but wants to be
baptized. They were all so curious about family history work. I showed them my
family tree, and they studied it for like 10 minutes! It was so cool to see
them have such an interest in family history. They made us tawa tawas. RICO!
They are like tiny sopapillas. I wish you guys could meet them. Que mas???? Oh. Yesterday morning, I woke up
sin voz. I haven’t been able to talk normal since. Try
talking in spanish without a voice! It is very very frustrating. I sound like an idiot.... which isn’t new
because I sound like an idiot every day with my crazy spanish. Todo bien! I am learning each day. I can
understand so much more than before. I just want to be able to talk to people!
It is the most frustrating thing for me...not being able to fully connect with
people. Oh well. So yeah....still no voice... but I guess that is just part of
the Potosi experience.
AH! So
remember how I wanted to see a llama so bad while I was here? Yeah... I saw
one..... on my plate last night. I ate llama meat last night. It was so sad,
because I love llamas. I could hear a thousand llamas crying out in horror as I
ate it. Hahahahaha Poor little babies. My pensionista killed it the previous
day. It actually didn’t taste bad... it was just really really chewy. I think I
messed up my little retainer thing as I tried to eat it. It was nearly
impossible to chew. Poor llamas....
Hm..... what
else? More fun facts about Potosi?
- It is a
normal day to have every single person stare at you because you are white. They
even yell out CHOCA! (which means white girl).... literally everyone....
everyone stares....
- The son of
my pensionista said that I have racquet hands because my hands are so
big...bahahaha
- Half the
time, I don’t know what I´m eating... I just eat it...
- Grandma
Janet would HATE it here bec ause there are dogs EVERYWHERE... and poop too
- You see
people peeing in the street every day
-It´s fun.
What else do you guys want to know? Write back!
Con mucho
amor,
Hna Routsong
