Week 37: Stolen Back Packs, Some Confusion, A New Companion, And Be An Example

Yep, it´s true, we got robbed. They took our backpacks whole. That was probably one of the biggest disapointments ever. I mean they took my scriptures!! 8 months of studying and use and cariño. Gone. They were good, the theirfs. Very tricky if I do say so myself. Although I might just say that so I don`t feel as stupid. jaja. So what happened was this. We were sitting in Subway(yes, there is Subway here woot!!) and just eating and talking when a man and a woman tap us on the shoulder and say "oh, your keys fell" and low and behold there were keys on the ground, we look down to  pick up the keys and the next thing we know, our backpacks are gone. Yep, that is the strategy that took us. My only hope is that they read the Book of Mormon and feel remorse for what they did. Thankfully they didn`t get much in way of money and things of "worldly value" But our scriptures are gone and that was a hard blow. Really rough. But hey I have new scriptures and it is a new experience to get to know the scriptures better. What ever happens I know that this happened for a purpose. Something good is going to happen because of this. I have faith.

Just gotta say that I love the couple missionaries that we have here, they helped us a LOT when we got robbed, they got us new backpacks, new books and such and so we are set with the basics. They are the best EVER.

Just to clear a few things up from last week. So I don`t know if that is really my new calling in the mission or not, that of "health specialist". I´m confused about it a lot. but for the time being we are living in the best house in the mission and have certain perks. That´s right perks, we get to eat at the Ghent´s house everyso often, that is quite nice (American food!!). I think I am here to help my companion with things that she doesn`t quite know in ingles.

Oh, I have a new companion. Ella se llama, Hna. Garcia, de Chile. She is super sweet! I love her! She just came in

an emergency transfer of missions. They had to take out all the foreners of her mission and she got recalled here. Woot! she is super sweet and things are going to be great! That is pretty much my week. Our sector is HUGE and we have hills, stairs, more hills and more stairs, and even MORE stairs. I am going to lose a lot of weight here, I can feel it. jaja

Spiritual Thought for the week.

Remember that wherever you are to be an example of the believers. Although you might not believe it people are watching you to see what you will do and how you will treat others. Some thing that I am learning right now is to not be in such a hurry that you forget the people who you pass in the streets, always show the world that we as members are friendly, happy, and willing to help. Live up to your baptismal covenents. And above all remember the blessings you have and that you can have as you keep the commandments. 3 Nefi 18:11 y 14.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Les amo bastante!!
