It's the last day of January! I feel like an
accomplished human being! Now on to February. And then March, April, May, June,
July, and August. Yup!
Today was interesting, we're trying to work on our human relation
skills, because apparently no one wants to talk to us longer than 6 seconds.
But, that's alright.
Church was pretty good, got Keyla and Alexandra confirmed,
so they're officially members now! Yay! Warm fuzzies. I'm excited to see them
continue to progress.

And we came home and made tortillas fritas for lunch since we don't have any food and we we're tired. Tortillas fritas is sort of a fridge-cleaner sort of food, but it's really good. Take your corn tortillas and rip them into small triangles and toss them in a saucepan with oil. While those are warming up you can add salsa, cheese, onion, tomato, bell pepper, salt, little pieces of sausage or meat...basically whatever you want in there. Keep stirring it around and heating everything through, and that's it. It's all warm and soft and filling. Me gusta! And to complement our lovely lunch, we watched Johnny Lingo! In Spanish, of course, but I haven't seen that movie in almost 2 years, I think, so it was really nice to watch it again. Hna Cruz has a lot of Church movies on her USB.
And then we headed over to the Consejo de Rama,
which we then waited about an hour and a half for them to tell us that we
weren't gonna have it. Which bothered us a little because of the time lost, but
we headed out again and started contacting. Have you noticed a common theme here? Baptize your only progressing investigators and you gotta find some more
people! Problem was, the light went out
and it was dark, so we had to go back home as we were in the middle of a lesson
we were able to be teaching. So we went back home. And got our candles out and
everything and waited and talked, and then the light came back on! So we blew
out our candles and got our stuff together, and in those 5 minutes the light
went out again. So we lit the candles again and waited. And the light came
back! So I quickly made some soup before the light went out so we would at
least have something to eat. By then it was almost 8:00 pm, so we just ate our
soup and did planning. This week the power has been going out almost every
morning and throughout some of the afternoons. Which is kinda annoying. Because
you can't cook (as we don't have a comal with fire or a gas stove...they're
dangerous for missionaries) or heat water for your shower or go out to do work at night.
I'm still talking in Spanish in my sleep.
Hna Cruz said she woke up to me talking 3 times last night. I was surprised I still do that, even after all this time. And I dream in Spanish
sometimes. My poor little brain!
