This week was awesome! Elder Rincon and I had the opportunity to teach a lot of great people. I also had the chance to skype my family and Damen for Mothers Day which was a great blessing. However yesterday my companion and I had an interesting experience.
We take busses here
when we need to go to an area that is out of walking distance. So we
took a bus that we thought was going to take us to our desired
destination but we were so very wrong. We ended up in the middle of
nowhere! The worst part is that we didn't enough money to take a taxi
back so we walked for 2 hours in the sun and jungle all the way back to
our house. Many times i just thought about hitch hiking. However we
made it back and we know now not to take that bus.
Anyways. I
want to let you all know that I know that God listens and answers our
prayers. Pray is a simple but very powerful action we have on the earth.
I know through sincere pray we can know the guidance and truth we need.
I am so thankful for this time here and I have finally gotten pretty
good at washing my clothes by hand which is a plus (ITS HARD WORK). I
hope all is well and I am still continually praying for you all! I
really am sorry but I cant upload any pictures this week. Something is
wrong with the system here. I will make sure to put them in my next
email! Cuidese Mucho!
