I honestly have no idea where the month of November went, but it's December now and I'm counting down until Christmas!
This week was great. Sister Gomez and I are slowly starting to have success. We found 8 new investigators this week.. yess! and we taught our first family too. We are so excited about teaching our first family, they are perfect to be baptized. They have 3 kids one teenager a 9 year old and a 4 year old. We only taught them once this week, but it went really well. Hopefully things will just keep progressing!
I went to Urdaneta again this week! I am so lucky.. I have been to Urdaneta every weeks since I've been here, for meetings, missionary training, and exchanges. It's so much fun going there, I love visiting the mission home.
Ok something funny that happened this week.. Sis Gomez and I were out finding and we ran into an older man who we started talking to and he was a member of some church- I can't remember the name but he was just talking and talking and then he just leaves to go inside his house and comes back with this "water". It was this big jug of water with sparkles and shimmery streamers. Weirdest thing I've ever seen. Anyways he said that it would heal us, and we asked him where he got it and he said he got it from a cave. We were so confused and he just kept going on about his "magical water". I was laughing in my head, it was funny. I was also thinking that we have magical water too- it's called oil.. or the Priesthood.! Sister G and I made jokes about it.. anyways it was weird.
Ok now the best part of the week. So sister Brown and Sister Stokes really wanted to eat Balut this week.. I have no idea why. ewww. Of course I said no way on earth am I eating Balut (Balut is a fertilized chicken egg) apparently you just dip it in salt or vinegar and eat it. Nasty. they wouldn't let me live it down so we went to buy some on the street and it ended up that all the eggs were too old. YES..SAVED!! But I couldn't get away that fast.. They said they were going to make me try something so we went to this BBQ place in front of someones house that had pig ears, chicken feet, chicken head, chicken intestines, chicken blood, you name it they had it and they were just roastin it up. Sister Gomez eats chicken intestines like candy.. and somehow I agreed to trying it. It only took me about 20 minutes to take one bite but I did. It didn't taste like anyting.. just chewy intestines, I just chewed and swallowed. Honestly I don't know how I did it, but I'm pretty proud of myself! Sister Brown and Sister Stokes tried chicken feet. They didn't know how to eat it because it was just bone.. gross. so.. I tried chicken intestines.. pictures to come!
On Saturday I went to my first baptism. It was for some sisters in my area. It was just what I needed, the spirit was so strong and it was the best feeling in the world knowing that I am a missionary and I am helping people come unto Christ. If only I could have a baptism with one of my investigators.. I will soon, I know it!
Other than that nothing else too exciting. To be honest I can't remember most things that happen unless they are super memorable or I write them down. But I am having so much fun and I'm really starting to enjoy my time here in the field.
