Week 24~

So I just got the call and I am not being transferred! To be honest I was fully expecting to be. And I am not going to lie, I am a little disappointed that I am staying, but I also know that the Lord calls us where we need to be for certain people so I am okay with it, there are lots of positives to staying and I would have been really sad to leave! But I am pretty sure I am the first person to be companion to a Branch president for more than three transfers and I will have spent a quarter of my mish in Feliciano after this transfer which is crazy! But all is good, this week was another pretty normal week. Easter was very different.. There is no Easter bunny or eggs or bright colors or anything of the sort here.. Which made me feel like it wasn't Easter, but I was able to focus on what is really important and the significance of Easter. I gave a talk which went really well, I talked about how we as members of the church can show our gratitude to the Savior for all that he did for us. And i did a little bit of what they call "dropping the cane" on the members. Basically I was very direct about the things that they can be doing better. But it was out of love and by the spirit so its all good! haha. We had Easter lunch with "Abuela" Alvina and she cooked asado, which is a bunch of meat cooked over a grill that is on the ground. Its something that you eat on special occasions basically because it is expensive. So that was good, sometimes there are some weird meats though which is a trial of my faith haha..

Everyone has parrots here as pets and I was holding one on my lap at someones house and it dropped a sweet deuce all over my suit pants, so thats my cool story of the week. Haha

And something else interesting that is happening with me is that I have started to realize that I am always thinking in spanish and I have been having dreams in spanish and it is really hard to speak english now haha. The other night Elder Cac and I were going to say a prayer and I decided I would say it in english and it was so hard, I couldn't even form a sentence. Its weird how my mind has shifted to spanish.

Everything is good here! Love and miss you all!
