Wow I don't know where to begin! Enserio! bueno, this week has been filled with many crazy adventures! This Wednesday I was sick! It was terrible I don't really know what happened but it was bad so in the morning one of the sisters from the other companionship stayed home with me and then that night a member was in the house with me while my comp. worked! We don't have time to be sick! It was sad I just slept all day long! And it was so hot! Man it is terrible not having an AC!!! Really it is hard! Right now we are working really hard with an eternal invest. because she is great and we need her in the wáter! Haha but we had a really cool experience with her the other day! Her bother is a less active member and his friend so when we teach her we also teach them! The spirit was rolling while we where teaching and we opened the hearts of the two boys Carlos and Alex and it was really great! They really want to change! But during the lesson Melani got mad I think because we where talking a lot to her brother and not to her and she was upset! at the end of the lesson we started talking to her and she opened up completely to us! It was great, but sad, because her house has a lot of problems! She was crying so hard and it was so sad, she cried in my arms for like 8 minutes! Her and I have a really weird bond.. she is so amazing and I want to help her so much! I know that she is one of the people that I promised that I would find while I was in heaven... really I feel like I have know her for years! We have noche de hogar with them tonight! (FHE) I am excited to see how it goes because we are going to talk with her mom about signing the papers for her bautism! This Friday was the craziest day of my life... really it was so scary!! The storm of all storms! It was so scary! We were in the house of the familia Villena for lunch and it was so hot in the morning! Like terribly hot! So we where sitting outside in the shade and it started to rain a little so we moved the table inside and all of the sudden out of no where it is raining so hard! And the wind is blowing like crazy - it is hailing.. the windows in her house where all open so we raced to shut them all and it went on for a good 2 hours it was so scary! After we went outside and this huge tree in front of there house had fallen down... HUGE!!! And it was super close to landing on the room that we where in.. Blessing from the Lord! we ended up studying in the house and left around 5 to head home change into warm clothes and work! There were power lines down everywhere and trees everywhere - it was really bad! Some people said that there was a small tornado.. haha I have no idea! But it was bad and the power lines are still down today!!! About Salta... well because I can't travel alone and my comp. can't travel home alone the other sister had to come with us to Jujuy so I could meet the other missionaries traveling to Salta... Well I love the other sisters dearly but they are late for everything... so we where late leaving and I missed the bus.. it was terrible I was crying my eyes out because I felt terrible! My comp. was getting in trouble because she had to call the offices to tell them that I wasn't coming and it was so bad... but I know that I missed the bus for a reason. I don't know why but I know that this is the Lord's work and I wasn't needed in Salta that day! This is the thing that I have realized most on my misión is that the Lord's hand is in this work and in our lives daily! Everything happens for a reason! I am sad that I didn't go to Salta this week because I want my package and I was going to travel with my comp. for the MTC but I know that I was needed here in Perico! This week has been great! I have really learned so much! I am so grateful that I am here right now. It is so great! Serving the Lord is the best thing that I could be doing right now! Thank you all for the support! I hope that all is well! Talk to you all next week!
much love! Hermana Griffiths!
