Aloha!

ALOHA! Just kidding...

Okay... so this week was pretty awesome! I got this new skirt from a member here and the ward, and it looks like a Hawaiian skirt, in fact I am wearing it right now. Anyways I was wearing it last week and the member who was feeding us lunch that day totally spilt juice all over me, it was pretty funny and refreshing! And yes it is still in the 100s everyday! 

Okay so I have a funny story to tell you guys, but first I need to explain something. Here EVERYONE kisses everybody on the cheeks. But the Hermanas are only allowed to give kisses to women, clearly. So everyday I get slobbery kisses from cute old grandmas, it is great... So one night we were contacting a reference and this little boy about 13 years old came up to me and tried to kiss my cheeks! My companion freaked out and told him that we were not allowed to kiss boys! Anyways I think he was really embarrassed and would not come listen to our message. 

This week we were also very blessed to study with Hermana McMullin!

 

They are starting a new thing where they want to study with the missionaries and see how their companionship studies are going. And for some reason she chose us to be the first ones. It was really good, and I absolutely love Hermana McMullin, she is the sweetest! And hopefully next Monday she will be able to accompany us again to her reference. 

Ooh... gross story now!!! One day we were at a members house, and usually this lady's food is pretty good. It started off with soup and mandioca... then bread... then what looked to me a sort of cinnamon roll pastry. Well it was not a pastry. Turns out it was pig skin (I would say maybe one forth of an inch thick), with an inch and a half of fat, and more shredded meat. It was disgusting. Lets just say that our tummies were not happy after that. And apparently people really like this? 

Oh on the 10 I hit my 3 months on the mission!!!! Wow! And this week I am happy to announce that we have 4 more baptisms and the week after 2 more! I love the people here, and their desire to change!!! I am really excited, and I absolutely love being a missionary!! Oh and one more experience that I want to share with you guys, the other day my comp. was having a really hard time and I really wanted to help her feel better. Well I remembered that my best friends had sent me some scriptures and a poem last week, and I decided to translate it to my comp. Well It was exactly what she needed. I know that Our Heavenly Father sends angles in our lives, and I am so blessed to have people in my life that is in tune with the Spirit who are able to help out people they don't even know. I love this Gospel! And I love my family and friends! Thank you all for the love and support! I hope you all have a great week, and I cant wait to hear from you. 

Love, Hermana Sanders
