It's been raining a ton and the power has gone out like 5 times this week. We got some candles for our house and it's super fun! It's kinda sketchy going out when there's no light though so we usually chill at the house in the evenings if the power is gone.
We found out one of our investigators, Angelina ( the one with dirt floors and chickens and fleas), completely ran out of food this week so we went out and bought her some on Wednesday. That was an adventure! Sometimes I feel like I'm in a movie here. Especially when we go to the city center where the markets are and everything. The roads are super narrow and lined with shops and "tiendas". Cars are trying to get through the middle of everything and sometimes, massive buses and trucks. It's ridiculous! There's always different loud music playing and so many bright colors. It's like one of those fun hippy travel scenes if you know what I'm talking about. Well this time, as we were heading back with all the food and squeezing in between the tiendas and the cars, this one car passed super close and a guy had his head sticking out the window and- yeah- he puked all over me and Hermana Lucha! Mmmm chunky shoes! It almost started a chain reaction!
So I'll skip over some of the other weeks details and just tell you the fun stuff. We helped some ladies in our ward wash these giant leaves that they use to make tamales. It was a lot of fun! One day we bought "Nacho Libre" style corn. It's called "Jacote Loca" or something like that and it was disgustingly delicious. Then we made some for ourselves last night. I tried quoting "Nacho Libre", "GET THAT CORN OUTTA MY FACE!!! you made me look like a fool last night!!!", yeah, Hermana Lucha gave me a weird look for that one! I guess you had to see the movie!
The wedding and baptism on Saturday was pretty hilarious. The lawyer that was performing the wedding taught Alexis how to tie his tie since he had never put one on before. I did Dori's hair with flowers and my awesome hair skills in about 5 minutes. The lawyer went over ALL the legal jargon during the wedding ceremony so it lasted over half an hour. He answered his cell phone in the middle of it and it was really funny. The hymns all sounded like funeral death marches. AND then to top it all off, Alexis had to get dunked twice! It was such the perfect first baptism and I am sure I will never forget it! I loved seeing his face and how happy he was after his baptism!
Well, I have to run but I hope everyone is doing well! Brush your teeth because I see everyday what happens when people don't!
I love you all!
