Surprise! I have another new companion this week! :) She is ADORABLE! She is sweet and kind and excited to work! She has been here for about 3 months, so she is still pretty green. Her name is Hermana Montepeque, from Guatemala! :) And guess what?? She is shorter than me!!!! Can you believe it??? She is tiny! But cute! She has an identical twin sister serving in Panama right now. We get along great and I love working with her! :)
And now we are back at a tie... 4 from Guatemala and 4 from Mexico... Oh and 2 from the U.S... My 10th companion!
Hermana Vasquez went back home to Guatemala this week. She will probably need a surgery on her knee... But she served for almost 15 months, so she felt good about her work here and is excited to move on to the next step.
Myriam is doing GREAT! :) We went and visited her twice this week and she came to church with us again yesterday. I met her mom and her grandma, and maybe they will come to the baptism! Her baptism is this Saturday at 6pm. :) She has already invited a bunch of people to come and she is excited! She is nervous about the confirmation though, because she doesnt want to get up in front of everyone on Sunday... Haha So I told her, its okay, they will all close their eyes during the confirmation. ;) She passed her interview this week! Her dad and two siblings live in the U.S. so she is teaching them Spanish and they are teaching her English. She is 26 years old and in her last year of medical school. She helped me with a sick Elder at church yesterday. :) SHE IS AMAZING!!! :) I think she will be a good friend after the mission too. :)
I self-diagnosed and self-medicated myself this week! I went to the pharmacy to buy some antibiotics and they said, where is your prescription from the doctor? And I said, I am a nurse. And they said, do you have your lisence with you? And I said, yep! And showed them my lisence, and they gave me the meds! How cool right? Totally would not work in the states...
When Hermana Vasquez found out she was going home, we went to go visit some of her recent converts in Coronado to say goodbye! They are an adorable family! And I got to see some of Coronado! I took seet pictures of a creepy Catholic Church, but the quality is too high to send them through email... You´ll have to wait until after my mission to see how cool it is! Also, we are trying to set up an activity to go see a volcano this month! Stay posted! (Not the active volcano.. They wont let us go there...)
Good news! I learned more secrets to making the best Gallo Pinto in the whole world! Be super excited to try my new recepies when I get home! :) This week I will be teaching a family how to make caramel popcorn and maybe butterfinger cheese cake and they are going to teach me cool tico desserts!
Also, we did a service project on Saturday and cleaned up the yard of an old lady. I found so many cool bugs to take pictures of! I am pretty sure half of them are posionous... So I made sure to only take pictures and not touch them.
Thats about it... I love my new new companion! The members are all confused because they keep meeting new missionaries every week, but its all good! Have a great week!!! Love you all!
Love,
Hermana Markle. :)
