Noche de Hogar

Hello Friends and Fam! 

I hope that everyone had a fun holiday week. To celebrate Dia de Accion de Gracias I caved and Hermana Gimenez and I bought some ice cream!  We talked about all of the things that we are grateful for.  Because of the heat last week the first thing on my list that I am grateful for has been air conditioning.  It has been in the high 90s, and fact that air conditioning doesn't exist here has just about killed me.

After seeing pictures of Mom's Thanksgiving family, Hermana Gimenez said that our family is larger than her whole ward back home in Paraguay!

Awhile back we met an English teacher named Vanessa who is super sweet and also super enthusiastic about the fact that I am Yankee (she hasn't´t ever had the chance to speak with a native). So she invited us to come and teach her english class about who we are and why we are here. It was super fun, but when I first started I had a really hard time introducing myself in English. The class could see that I was struggling and I the middle of my spanglish disaster, one of the students asked me if I needed to take a few English classes from him. Agh, que verguenza!  But all in all it went really well and there were a few who seemed pretty interested! 

We also had a really fun Noche de Hogar with a less active Family in our ward called the familia Oviedo. We read in Alma 46 and each of the kids made their own flags like Moroni. 

Our investigator Erkia and her family came to church this Sunday to see the Primary program. Her husband is super against organized religion because of some things that happened to him in the past, but they stayed for the first 2 hours before they had to go and he was full of questions!  We are excited to start teaching him as well. 

I hope everyone has a great week! Chow!
