So this week has been interesting.
Last Monday we hiked up to this place called la piedra de nuestros compadres. We went with my district and took a picnic. It was fun and there was an awesome view of the valley and mountains/vocanoes all around. Wednesday we had divisions. We went to Chiquimula for district planning and then Hermana Torres came back with me to Esquipulas and my comp stayed in Chiqui with Hermana Guerra. I was feeling sick that day, but also excited because of divisions because Hermana Torres is pretty much amazing. So it was one of the best days I have had out here. Even though I felt like I was going to collapse, throw up, or pass out for pretty much the whole day, I actually felt like a missionary and like I contributed and learned! She gave me really great feedback and did the training with me. We ended up with 5 new investigators at the end of the day and a baptism date!! So basically for the past few days I have been back and forth between laying in bed and going out to teach and then regretting going out haha. On Thursday I got in bed at 3 and was in and out of sleep until 10! it was insane. Everyone thinks It´s dengue because I have had a fever and it feels like someone beat me up.
Yesterday for pday though, we went to Ipala with my zone. We hiked up to a water volcano! It was awesome. It was an hou hike up so I was pretty beat when I got to the top. I layed in the grass basically the whole time and talked with some of the other nortes. I probably should have stayed home but if one companionship couldnt go, then nobody could go. It was really fun though. My zone is so fun. We have 13 nortes and 11 hispanos. It´s crazy!! Usually we have a lot mor hispanos than nortes. Anyways, that´s all I have for this week really. It hasn´t been too exciting as I have been laying in bed for a good part of it. We have another baptism date for this month though. The lady walks an hour and a half to get to church each week. Her ¨husband¨was coming with her but he just left her last week. He actually has another family somewhere so she thinks he went to them. She said that he was talking about his family after one of the sessions of general conference. So who knows, maybe he will make things right with his family and still find the church wherever he is out there.
Anyways, I love you all and thank you for your love and support and prayers!!!
Love,
