Yo Yo Yo mi familia y mis amigos,
Welp,
dos semanas en el campo!! Thanks so much EVERYONE for the emails.
Nothing beats mail...en cerio. I'm loving it out here. It's nice and
warm cada dia. My trainer is GREAT! Super helpful and super Russian;)
Like I said before we've both been white washed so this last week was
pretty slow, but we taught a few GREAT lessons. One girl we met at a
trailer park. She was outside and we just started talking to her. We
told her the Joseph Smith story and she got this huge smile on her face
and said, "muy bonita." We have a return appointment this week, whoot
whoot! We also taught that family we met last Sunday. They are really
sweet and said we could come back again, which will be our third time.
We have taught twice now this amazing mother Jennifer. She has so much
faith, and loves when we come over. Unfortunately, she is English
speaking so we have to pass her off to the English Elders this week.
That makes me so sad, because I love this lady. Oh well, it's all for a
reason like she says. I think she was sadder then us when we told her we
would have to pass her off to the English elders. She said, "I have to
give up my missionaries?, :( Oh well, God knows the reasons why." I hope
it continues to go well. We have run into a lot of drunk people while
out finding referals. It's super funny when they're talkin nonsense. My
district is awesome. I love the ward!! There is no way I'm gonna be able
to switch back to white people wards one day. I LOVE MEXICANS!! Haha,
seriously, the members are so nice, and feed us tons.
I got to experience my first REAL rain storm. It POURS here, and
the lightening is super violent!! Many of the streets got flouded. We
still have to work in bad weather, unless we get informed otherwise. So
my companion and I knocked doors in the crazy storm. It looked like we
jumped in a lake or something from how wet we were. When the people
opened their doors they were all, "what are you crazy?"...yeah...it was
fun. We did have to end the evening early though, because it started to
hail. BIG hail.
My Spanish is better, but I still just mostly stare when they ask
me questions, because...aaa...yeah I don't know what I'm doin when it
comes to this language. I wish they'd just slow down a little when they
talk...haha. Anywho, I'd love to say more, but gotta go!
Love,
Hermana Salcido
