10.8.18: Meet Your Meat

Wowza what a semana [week]! I don't even know what to say...every day is an adventure! This week has been una locura [a crazy one], but I love every minute of it. ;)
1. I took a nice little day trip to Madrid and went to my comp's house and met her entire fam bam because she had to do her residency...probs one of the most bizarre days of my entire mish, (which is saying something jajaja).

2. We saw some abuelitas [little grandmas] screaming in the street at each other and then they starting wrestling and throwing jewelry everywhere, jajaja. It was quite a scene!

3. We helped a less-active member with a fundraiser she is doing and it consisted of us helping her wash and prep whole chickens.  And it was the grossest thing of my life...my comp is a champ and she is the one that picked the organs out...bleck ehhhhhh...!  The things we do for love, sabes [you know]?

4. I ate murcillo (blood sausage)... at a member's house. I have no words for that one... (milagros [miracles] that I was able to stomach that one.).

5. LAWRENCE AND OSI GOT BAPTIZED!! They are the MEJOR [best]!  They both bore their testimonies at the end and they were very simple, but so pure and sincere. Also, they gave me and my comp Nigerian names...I am Osaumase (idk how to spell it).

6. I support 2 hour church.

I adore Spain and I cannot believe how blessed I am to be a representative of my Savior Jesus Christ. I love Him and I know that He lives and loves every one of us infinitely.  

Wow, I adore you all! I hope you are all living the dream!
Stay GOLD <3

3.19.18: GOLD

Another week full of beautiful places and people here in San Sebastian! Wow, we have seen so many miracles this week! I cannot believe how good God has been to us. Hermana Jenkins and I have been so blessed!  Our mission has had a slow start to the year with baptisms, so we are doing a month long fast where every district takes a turn fasting for 24 hours. This week it was our district's turn  on  Friday/Saturday. Literally 2 hours after we started fasting, we met with a woman who the elders contacted on the street over a month ago....  Finally meeting with her, in and of itself, was a miracle! However, while we were talking with her on a bench, one of her friends walked by and came up to us. She started talking to us like we had met before and Hermana Jenkins and I were both really confused. I kept looking at my comp hoping she knew who this woman was because I, for sure, didn't!  It turns out that we had contacted her in my first week here, but it was late...

6.4.18: I Hope You Dance

Wow, life is so good! Every Wednesday, we go and volunteer in the local residencia de viejitos (retirement home mas o menos  [more or less] ). There are so many old people here, it is insane. Also, I am convinced that I want to die young.  Being old looks miserable! But anyway, they always have us help them with different little activities, and this week they were listening to music and they wanted us to sing for them, jajaja. That was a hard pass. But if you can't sing, then obviously you can at least dance, right?...Um actually no...but they made us dance anyway, jajaja.  There were like 50 old mujeres  [women]  and only like 3 or 4 little old hombres  [men] . Of course, all the women were too broken to even walk, so my comp and I were naturally the next in line to dance with the old men to random Spanish songs of amor  [love] . Probs not allowed as a missionary, but they are ancient so no pasa nada  [nothing happened] ...
