This
week was filled with tamales and bombas (fireworks)! So first of all,
my companion and I made a goal of how many tamales we were going to
recieve this weekend... our goal was 6. Wanna know how many are sitting
in our fridge right now? 16. 16 tamales are (literally) chilling in the
fridge just waiting to be eaten. I´m pretty sure I´m going to come back
as a literal tamale due to all of the masa I eat here!! Hahah but
everything is so great here, I wouldn´t change it for the world!
I
took a picture with a pig this week and that was probably one the best
things ever!! I seriously have the funniest weekly goals. And like the
pigs here are HUGE it´s insane. Like 2 weeks ago we were offered the
chance to help kill a pig and cook it ourselves.... I kindly declined
the offer hahaha. Life is so different here, I seriously wish all of you
could just walk around town with me and understand how amazing life is
here!!!
My companion and I took Christmas card
pictures this week, and I wish I could send you guys them, they´re my
favorite. The other hermanas in my zone all made cards and we all like
competed to do the funniest ones. I think Hermana Wright and I won for
the most creative that´s for sure!!
Honestly,
not much happened this week. I just now remembered that I had chocolate
in my jacket pocket and I washed my clothes this morning... so I´ll let
ya know if anything super terrible happens hahaha.
All
I know, is that this mission is the best decision of my entire life. I
love learning and growing and just connecting with the people everyday.
It´s such a blessing that I have to be able to spread this message of
happiness with the people here! I can just feel like power of the Holy
Ghost and the reassurance of the truthfulness of the gospel in my life
everyday as I testify to the miracles that I have witnessed in my life.
I´m super super super thankful to be learning Spanish and to be a
missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ
established this church when he was on the earth and now we have the
opportunity to learn more about the blessings that come from being
obedient followers of Christ! Life is hard, but it´s SO worth it when
you´re working toward an eternal family!
Gracias
for all of your help and support in my mission everyday! I can just
feel your love as I walk down the cobblestone roads in Guatemala!
Happy happy holidays and enjoy this special time!
xoxo,
Hermana Pereira
