This post is pieces of a conversation through emailing back and forth with Sister Castro.
- How are you???
- I fell again hapon..... getting out of a tricycle LOLOL, so now both of my knees are matching LOLOLO. I need some knee pads LOL I have a picture that I will send you guys!!
But omg this week has been really good! Yesterday especially we didn't
have sacrament meeting because Elder Holland is here and we watched a
devotional he gave to the QC South Stake!! It was soooo good!!
- How was your week?
- Yesterday we spent time with 3 member families and omg they are soooo
nice and wonderful! I actually started tearing up because we are going
to do the family study of come follow me and Sister Augerea said that
since we don't have family here it is nice that we can do it with them so
it will be every Sunday and they were sooo excited!!
- This week was a miracle. Sunday evening we were having a rough time
being welcomed into homes and all of our appointments fell through. So
we needed to pray harder to Heavenly Father to have Him guide us to the
souls He has prepared to us and to those souls who are willing to listen
both with their ears and their hearts. Sister Augerea invited me to say
the prayer for us on the side of the road, I really felt impressed from
the Spirit to pray for families and to pray for a space that would be
filled with them. After closing the prayer Sister Augerea told me what
road did you see. We were in a street that had a left and a right, and I
told her I really saw families towards the right side of the road. So
We walked and there was no one, but we still kept going- until we saw a
young girl walking and she walks into this really narrow and long road.
So, of course we go in and stop at the first house. We taught a sweet
lady and asked her if there was more houses down the road and she said
many. It was late so we said we would track it tomorrow. We went back
yesterday and we went to the end and our eyes met a huge village, filled
with many houses. It was such a good day yesterday- and many of whom we
taught were taught by the elders who were previously there many many
months ago. They were so welcoming to us and recognized us as
missionaries. That village was an answer to our fervent prayer, and I
know that Heavenly Father really led us there and had prepared them. I
am excited to help that area progress. It was a miracle and a blessing
to be led there.
- Have you been eating well?
- We have dinner every week with 2 families now 3! Even though we don't
have a calendar they are still inviting us over every now and then or
come to our apt and bring us food
- Do they play a lot of music over there since they love karaoke?
- They love Spanish music here! and when they find out that I speak Spanish they speak to me in Spanish LOL.Our bishop knows a lot LOL
- How is you Tagalog coming along?
- slowly but it is coming!!
- BUT WHAT ARE THOSE BUG BITES!!!? Man those suckers are badddd
. Mom says to rub Vick on them at night with the ointment pero que hagas caso! Lol.
- Yes they are mosquito bites, and yes I have been putting ointment on
them so they won't get infected. I will start wearing stockings.
