What a week! After our crazy awesome week of miracles last week, this week felt pretty chill. Nothing much to report but I hope you all can get a kick out of some fun times we had.
So our last P-day we invited our three "French" friends (apparently they´re from Africa countries that speak French. Thats why we call them The Frenchies. Not because they're from France. Just so you know. Nobody thought to tell me until now and Ive been made fun of it for it all week) to play futbol with us (and by futbol I mean soccer for all you greenies ;) and it was a blast! I was awful and touched the ball like 5 times but hey, whatever works! The Elders and a couple members were there too and the activity started out as futbol but then it somehow ended as a dance .Haha just a group of people in the middle of the futbol court dancing some African dances, no big deal. Haha still dont know how it all happened but I got some awesome videos!
We also had Zone Conference this week in Granada an hour away (we got to ride back home in the Zone Leader´s car so it was worth it). Hermana Seoane and I had to give a workshop and it was so nerve-wracking. I´m pretty sure I´m known throughout the mission as the Red-Faced-Hermana (especially when I have to give talk in SPANISH) but oh well. I survived it, red faced and all ;) And after the Zone Meeting we even had time for a TALENT SHOW! As I have no talents whatsoever so I did nothing but my companion showed us a couple bachata dance moves, Hermana Carmen played the jaw harp (11 months with her and I still am not quite sure what that is), and my favorite was when two Elders made their own lyrics to popular songs and sang and played the guitar for us. For example, "Here Comes the Sun (Son)" and sang about the Great Apostasy and Second Coming haha. It was awesome.
As for the work here in Jaen I can proudly report to you all that I am finally used to all the hills! But now we have something new to conquer: The heat!! We´ve had an average of about 37-41 degrees Celcius (90-100 degreees F?) this week and holy cow its been a little rough! Its definitely slowed us down a bit but we´re still trying to work as hard as we can (even though in the back of my mind I am freaking out because its only MAY). But I can honestly tell you I can see the Lord´s hand strengthening us and giving us the energy to work.
It was so hot during P-day, we took turns chillin in the fridge in the chapel to cool down haha.
As for our investies, Raquel´s baptism is still scheduled for this Sunday the 24th (my 11 month mark miracle!) I´m so proud of her and for the step of faith she is taking. She will see so many blessings in her life for following the example of Jesus Christ and I know her life will never be the same!
Welp I got a call the other day from President Deere and guess who´s training! Another hija! In fact, Elder Lindley in my district will be training too so more like I´ll be having twins! Woohoo! I love new missionaries and I´m really excited for this new transfer and all the miracles we will see! I´m super nervous, ever more nervous than I was when I trained Hermana Vigo but I feel like I´ve grown a lot as a missionary and as a person so hoepfully I wont make as many mistakes! haha.
I hope you all have a great week! I love you all!
HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!
Love,
Hermana Morrow
COMPI CHURRO DATE! And yes, we ate it all by ourselves.
Hermana Seoane cutting a members hair and while we were waiting her son was playing with my hair--he was really proud of the knot he made ahaha
