This week was the cinnamon again. Lots of miracles and a general conference full of revelations and some huasca, but you all already know about that. I wont talk about it too much.
But the main highlight this week was a lesson we had on Thursday. First we had our interviews with president so we walked out of there pretty motivated to work. And then the first house we tried one of our investigator's husband cussed at us a little bit and told us to go away. I think. I don't really understand insults in spanish too much. But then we decided to go visit Rosemary. Remember the other week how I told you one of our members was giving us referals to all of her old catholic lady neighbors? Rosemary is one of them. So we stopped by her house since our appointment with here the other day had fallen through. She let us in and seemed kind of excited to see us. We started talking a little bit about the Restauration, and then we asked her how she feels about it and if she has any question. Then she told us the coolest analogy ever. She said she feels like "I've been drinking this same chicha my whole life (chicha is a traditional drink here), and I like this chicha, its good chicha. But then somebody put a new drink on the table that I've never seen before, and I feel curious. I want to try the drink, see if it tastes good, and if i like it, I might start drinking that from now on." And in my head I was like "Yeah girl! pruebe that refresco!! Its way better than chicha! This is like an exotic tropical mango smoothie and you're just drinking freaking chicha!"
But that lesson was just awesome all around. I'm thankful for the member that is such a good example that made Rosemary so interested in the church. And God prepares people to receive the gospel! Even the lifelong old Catholic ladies!!
And to sum up conference, it was dope and one of the members got mad at me because they're building another temple in Utah but not in Bolivia. Gotta be honest, I'm a little annoyed about it too. Layton needs a temple way less than Santa Cruz. No offense, Layton. Go to one of the other 15 temples in your state.
Love you guys! Thanks for all the support and the birthday emails!!
