Today we had
laundry because transfers are on Tuesday, so we did laundry early. We finally
had time to fold everything, but then I didn't have much time to write.
But I will try!
So breakfast was
pretty darn awesome, we had 2 corn tortillas with black beans and cheese in between,
with scrambled eggs and sliced green onions, and a thin red salsa over everything, and fried plantains on the side. Ah, so good! I absolutely love
plantains... and mango juice again because it makes me happy inside. So I
thoroughly enjoyed that lovely meal.
Fun fact, latinos tend to cover their mouths when they laugh and sometimes when they smile, also they never go barefoot, even indoors, and I've taken to wearing my flip-flops around our room because the tiles are so cold. So I don't think I'll adapt to covering my face all the time, but I like the foot covering idea here, and especially in the field, I imagine, when I most likely won't have nice tile floors.
Also, our
investigator for misionero-misionero training, (Lucy played by Hna Morales),
was acting like she was high today during the lesson, so that was interesting to work with.
Somehow she agreed to baptism, but we'll see how much she remembers when we teach her tomorrow. Yup, the Word of Wisdom is there for a
reason! Just say no!
I was flipping
through my journal and I came to some
quotes from Kolipoki (Elder John H. Groberg) that I had copied down earlier, so I thought I'd
share them:
"Sometimes
God calms the storm, and sometimes He calms His child."
"There is a
connection between heaven and earth. Finding that connection gives meaning to
everything, including death. Missing it makes everything meaningless, including
life."
"You develop
faith by doing things that require faith."
"Our joy now
and forever is inextricably tied to our capacity to love."
