The start of something new

It was a very successful week for us! We were able to find some new friends through facebook, do video calls with our amigos, and meet with some members in person! Which was nice so that Hermana Coles could say goodbye because she goes home this week! Speaking of, she left me this morning (we had to get up at 4:30 am) and my next companion won't be arriving until Saturday, so i get to be in a trio with the other Hermanas in malaga until then :) fiestaaaa

But our amigos are doing really well! Mathias once again taught us about the book of mormon and we watched the video of the tree of life and he told hermana coles to not worry because he would send her a video of his bautismo :) and Maria finally figured out how to use technology and we saw her face for the first time ever! And she's doing really well, she's been reading the book of mormon every day and she loves it so much. Our amigo pedro also loves the book of mormon very mucho. He retold us the story of Nefi and his broken bow and arrow like 6 times and then we talked about the tree of life (he loves the book of mormon videos) and yeah he's a funny one, very malagueña, and he's great!

On Saturday we got to eat with some members but we missed our connecting bus so we got to take a nice little hike and they're so refined Spanish it's incredible and i wished i would've taken pictures of the food they gave us, but sadly i did not, i sincerely apologize because it was both amazing looking and amazing tasting.

But yeah it was a good one, sorry don't have a ton of time to write but i love you all and i hope you have an incredible week! :)

Pringles save us

This week we just did a nice little tour of the south, which was very nice because all the other cities aren't as hot as malaga plus all the other hermanas pisos have air conditioning haha. We went from malaga to fuengirola to ronda to Jaén to Granada and back to malaga. And when we finally stepped of the bus back in malaga, the heat hit and humidity hit us harder than ever and we had already started back on filling those lakes just on our short walk back to piso. I love Málaga. On all of our very long bus rides we got very hungry but you're not allowed to eat on the buses because of Mascarillas. And the only food item we ever had was Pringles because it's the only good thing they sell at bus stations, so we would just slide one under the mask and into our mouths every few minutes when nobody was looking so we didn't starve to death. We really know how to do things right. When we were in Jaen on intercambios, we visited this cute member family. And like I said, they wer...

Rondaaaa

This week was a partyyyy! On Tuesday, our favorite members, Ana y Fernando, wanted to take us to their favorite buffet in fuengirola, but when we got there, the original buffet no longer exists, but in its place was a sushi buffet haha. So we went. First time sushi eater here. But my dear sweet little companion helped me pick the things that weren't gonna kill me so I very much appreciated that. And then Ana just Had to buy us these little owl family souvenirs with their names as the parents and me and Hermana Larsen as the children hahaha (pictured below) they're so sweet. We had a Cita this week with an amiga named Joy. She's an amiga of the malaga 2 hermanas, but they're both Latinas and Joy doesn't speak Spanish so we're helping them out. She's so sweet. They had planned to teach her about. she evangelio de Jesucristo, the pasos that we have to take in this life, and invite her to be baptized. We started talking about the first paso, faith, and I asked ...

Lakes to slightly smaller lakes

A nice little heat wave from Africa came in the last couple days. In the form of very very hot wind. But it did take down the humidity levels from our normal 85%. So instead of sweating lakes all day, we are sweating slightly smaller lakes. Feeling very blessed. Except for actually not having the humidity for a day felt very strange. I felt like I was about to shrivel up from dehydration. Vamos a ver what utah does to me haha. But it's been a really good week! We had two intercambios which means a week full of parties and lots of lessons and lots of learning. Always so much fun. We have a friend named Sebastián and we were finally able to meet with him in person to give him a book of Mormón. He was so excited to have one and right after the lesson he was gonna head to the beach to lay out and read the book of mormón. But we ended up giving him two books because he wanted to share one with his mom as well. Que máquina! We also met with our friend Fredy and he came to church yesterda...
