We´ve had a really great week! It´s been so great to be able to get back to working hard after being stuck at home feeling pain for so long! This week we found a really great family of 6! There are four girls, one boy and they live with their single Mom. Our lessons with them are really entertaining but also spiritual. The little 8 year-old, Leticia, is a little fire ball and asks lots of questions, haha. The last lesson, as we were teaching about the Holy Ghost, I gave the example of the comforter and told them that where I live, it gets really cold and snows. That led to all sorts of questions, and the girls started singing ``Do you want to build a snowmaaaaan???´´ haha. Yes, Frozen is a world-wide epidemic. They really like the lessons, though. The mom, too. They didn´t make it to church yesterday, but we´ll get all six of them there next time.
We finally got rain!!! We started getting some promising clouds on Wednesday, and we got rain from Thursday until Sunday. We´ve really been needing it. We´re grateful for the moisture, but the mud makes it a little hard to climb some of the hills. Sometimes it seems like we´re just walking on a treadmilll as we try to climb. We laughed pretty hard when I decided to try harder and almost fell on my face after running in place for a good minute.
We´re gearing up for Carnaval, which will start on the 17th, I think. It seems like the partying here in the city will be minimal, which is good, but that also means that everyone will go elsewhere to celebrate. We´ll start teaching cats and dogs if things get too deserted. They listen pretty well for the most part. The hardest part will be getting the cats to enter the baptismal font. Not sure what we´ll do about that...
I hope you all are well! Love you so much! Have a great week, and see you soon!
