Holaaaaaa!!! This week felt so long because it was SO busy haha so first off on tuesday i had an interview with el presidente de la misión and it was súper good...found lut im speaking in front of the whole mission on thursday this week at the Christmas conference sooooo that will be interesting haha and then right after the interview i had to leave to go to Montevideo to finish doing my cédula (im oficially Uruguaya for the next 18 months haha) so that was fun and we stayed in a HOTEL! The hotel was súper lindo and its probs the best shower ive had in my whole mission if im being honest lolllll but yeah i got to see the beach while i was there and that just made me so so happy because I LOVE THE BEACH! Thursday we visited an old folks home and sang christmas songs to them and they loved it...well all except this one little ole lady who told us we were making her head hurt lol...i like to believe she liked it too lol. Friday I had intercambios with hermana johansen (: shes from utah...we literally had nothing planned that day so we just put people down to go visit and i have no idea how it happened but NO ONE WAS HOME lollll so basically we just took an 8 hour walk in the sun knocking doors and talking to the gente, so that was productive, then that night we got on a bus to Montevideo to go to the temple!!!
THE STORY OF MY FIRST TIME
So while we were at the temple it was so fun! We saw the pesebre (im pretty sure its called a nativity in english) and it was so pretty! Ive never seen the pesebre at a temple before! But anyways while we were waiting to go into the temple i met this family from idaho whos traveling the world to visit all the temples... the Uruguay Montevideo Temple is their 43rd temple in a year!!!! And get this...THEYRE DRIVING THE WHOLE TIME WITH 3 LITTLE KIDS!!! I dont know how they have patience for that lol but it was cool to hear some english after all this time. So this is where the cool part starts...so we got into the temple with our ward and they were like alright are you guys doing baptisms and we were like nah we're just here to help and they were like perfect you guys are going to be TESTIGOS (witnesses)!!!! Yall. I was a witness in the temple for baptisms!! Ive bever even been a witness for a regular baptism but its so cool that my first time was in the temple!!!! At first we were sitting in the witness chairs and waiting for the youth to come out from changing and i was just sitting there looking at the water and i was like wait im literally a lifegaurd again but like in the spiritual sense haha because im literally watching and making sure an ordinance is being done correctly so that someone else can begin receiving their heavenly blessings!! So that was really fun for me and also really special!
Thats about all i have for the week!!! Hope Hall have a good one!
Con amor,
