Semana 17
Taco Count for the week: 6
Total Taco Count: 200
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
A tad late... but it still counts!!
We spent the ENTIRE week celebrating!
Not necessarily Halloween, but there were a bunch of birthdays, too!
Different members and one of the missionaries.
We had a bunch of Asados... SO YUMMY!!!
With cake at the end of every one=)
Halloween isn´t as cool in Mexico... let´s be honest.
BUT
Día de los muertos is pretty dang awesome!
Our president told us we needed to organize a big project as a zone to contact on
Saturday and Sunday.
It was so cool!
Let me explain a little of what goes down on this day... Everyone and their dog piles in the car and goes the the cemetery.
They all gather in front of the graves of friends and family and do a bunch of different things.
Some pray and cry, other have fiestas and mariachi bands and who knows what.
Outside the cemetery there are tons of people selling different flowers and giant pictures of Christ and balloons, etc.
So here´s what we did=)
We set up a giant booth thing with a huge diagram of the Plan of Salvation.
Some missionaries stayed and contacted at the booth while the rest of us all went inside to contact people=)
We sang hymns, painted tombs, chopped grass with a machete, cried with them, consoled them, explained the Plan of Salvation,
carried dozens of buckets of water, started fires, and whole bunch of other stuff!
We spend all day Saturday, and half the day Sunday!
IT WAS SO COOL!!!
The beginning of the week was filled with different problems... we ended out in the hospital for two days. My companion had some problems.
She was prescribed two more days at home. During the two days I went out with one the young women in the ward the is preparing for her mission=)
It´s super weird having someone following your every move! haha
It´s hard to explain all the things that you experience with the companion you have.
This week was definitely a rough one for my comp.
I love her like crazy! I´ve never laughed so much with someone=)
I definitely lucked out=)
We have transfers next Monday.
Which means... I don´t know where I will be nor who I will be with this next Monday!
FUN FUN FUN=)=)
Love you all!
Enjoy the Fall weather for me=)
Miss you!
Con Amor,
Hermana Robinson
