Service projects and interesting names! 9-9-13

HELLO MY KARAMANDUNCAS

Sohoho, I love being a missionary! That's about it. Talk to y'all proxima semana.

Hehehe buen chiste

We had a zone conference on Tuesday and that filled us with all sorts of spiritual fuego. We are the only Hnas in our zone, and it was really precious because the Assistants attended our humble meeting and, with the help of the zone leaders who we love so much, exhorted the Elders to be our brothers. Awe. I am so grateful for them. They really are such a huge help to us, even if only to lift our spirits and set a good example.

Hermana Moody and I are inviting people to be baptized almost every first lesson we teach.

This is good. Because I sincerely believe that Pdte y Hna Archibald both entered this world yelling "BAPTIZE!"

We have two fechas and others committed that we need to check up on to make sure. Yesterday was hard because pretty much no one or their dead grandma came to church. And yet, we are happy because we trust in our God and know He is guiding us.

Can I just tell you some names that we have found upon happenstance this week? Please?

SERIOUSLY.

These really are the children of the Ancient Americas.

We went to help the Elders do some service at a member's home the other morning. They got to try and remove a tree stump...we got to remove dusty, corkless bottles of cooking sherry from a cabinet and chop raw meat and onions. Yeah. Women.

This is us with Elders Munoz, Miller, Reyes, y Salazar.
They are the missionaries in our ward (and Reyes y Salazar are our zone leaders).
Yeah.  It looks like we actually helped.  But no.  Ah. One day.

I really like the random things Peruvians learn in English. One of our neighbors saw us when we were buying lunch the other day and she looked at me and said in a completely pancake-flat tone, "You're beautiful ma'am. I hate you."

Well......

gracias

I think

Will you please tell the world to teach their children the gospel? We need more good parents. And members of the North Logan 3rd Ward, please help the missionaries! In fact, all members. And nonmembers. Talk to the missionaries. They really want your help. Don't try to dominate them, but offer to accompany them for lessons. Having a member in a lesson is the best opportunity for us to teach with power and to show people that the missionaries are not the only people in the church with testimonies. Pray for missionary opportunities!

So, I was told once that my surname means woodcutter in Dutch.

I told this to Hermana Moody and, like an epiphany, she exclaimed, " THAT MAKES SENSE! Like... (insert invisible ax in hand with chopping motions in the air) HEW...it...!"

I had sincerely never considered that before.

Happiest moment of my life was when Hna Moody told me that the other night I was yelling a prayer in Spanish in my sleep. As in, yelling.

I love you all.

Quote of the Week:

We were going out to buy breakfast this morning.

Hna Moody: "I happen to have twenty dollars in my pocket."

Yo, con mucho anime: "ARE WE GONNA POP SOME TABS?! ........THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!"
