Hey Everyone!
Another great
week here in Zapahuira. Hermana Gemin and I are doing well and lots of strange
things have happened. First the bad news, I have fleas! We are pretty sure we
know where they are coming from but my legs are covered in flea bites....
Also this week Hermana Gemin
and I were both sick with colds. We went to a members house and she and her
husband started talking about medicinal foods. Her husband left and ran to the
store and came back with 4 onions and some lemons. As we talked to his wife he
chopped onions and put a salad bowl in front of us and told us to eat. Haha
Hermana Gemin and I didnt know what to, but the hermano had just spent 10
minutes chopping onion, was crying, and so we just started eating spoonfuls of
raw onion....I definteliy wouldnt suggest it and in case you are wondering we
woke up the next moring with worse colds.
The work is going well here.
Rosalia wasn't able to meet her baptismal goal for Saturday but we are trying to
help her prepare for this weekend. She came to church yesterday which was
great! Paola also came. We also have another investigator Andrea. She is so
ready to receive the gospel and Hermana Gemin and I always thought she wasn't
married but the other day as we were talking about the Law of Chastity she
started telling us all about her wedding! We were shocked but so excited
because now she can be baptized as soon as she wants. We are helping her quit
smoking but she understands everything really well. She even asked if she could
come to church in a skirt which is a big deal here. Sadly her daughter woke up
with a fever yesterday morning and they were in the hospital when church
started. The great news is she's working towards her baptismal date!!!
It's been fun to see people from
my old ward. Yesterday Isidora, Maria Paz, Hermana Vasquez, and Jael came to
church to visit me. They haven't changed at all and everyone seems to be doing
well.
Today is a holiday here.
Something for the Virgin Maria. Our papitos took us to the beach, then to lluta
valley, and then playa de los corazones which is a beach with lots of caves and
stuff. It was fun and I'm glad to be back in Arica, where its always spring!!!
Hope you all have a gerat week!
Love,
Hermana Freedman
