Fun stories from this week! Now that I'm back in spanish work
part time, I run into some really funny moments. We were teaching this
family that has two small boys. The little wanted to show me his toys so
he put them on my lap. Well I started to get a lot of toys on my lap.
He didn't speak any English though. I kept trying to tell him to put his
toys back, but I didn't know how to say it in Spanish, so I
accidentally told him to bring more. Well I ended up with a lot of toys
on my lap.
New years! We had a good New year. We ate
dinner at a member's house New Years Eve and played games afterwards.
Then we went to a member's party and had a Nerf gun fight with some of
our members and the other missionaries. New years day we had a
missionary party and played boards and watched movies. It was super
great. We played Russian monopoly. An Elder who got evacuated from
Ukraine brought it.
Today we helped a lady move. We
had missionaries in the house cleaning and moving boxes. It was really
cool. The house was n really bad shape (really dirty, other little
friends like bugs). Instead of whining and making rude comments, we
decided to sing! We sang while we scrubbed the walls and floors and
vents and cleared boxes. An old lady in her wheel chair wheeled in there
to listen to us, and actually started crying. She loved our singing
that much.
Remember there are always people around
that need a helping hand. You just have to look! Serving others brings
happiness and who doesn't want to be happy?
