Jk, this is the land of sin.
Jk jk, but these people really could be making alot better decisions. They know better.
A recient convert that weve been teaching, who wanted to go on a mission... RAN AWAY, with the bishops nephew. and now theyre living together in a city called La Tronkal and the sad part is that her mom isnt even worried. They got as note. Just a note. She didnt say goodbye or anything! And her mom is super calm. relieved, even that she doesnt have to feed another mouth.
A preganant girl named Carla came to church, Shes adorable, and super sweet. shes less active, annnnnnnd shes 15 years old and when we went to visit her house we found out that shes been living with a 20 yearold... for 2 YEARS. She was 13 when they moved in together. Freakinnnngggg. Children having children.
Alot of people call us Elderes... because theyre used to having Elders in Buena fe, so i guess anyone with a plaque they call Elders. Cool. It happens way too often.
I am distraught, and scarred for life, Our lunch on friday was the worst lunch ive had here, I didnt know what it was... so i just ate it. and asked after,,, I ate chicken heart, let me repeat, I ATE CHICKEN HEART. and this soup didnt only have a whoe heart in it, it also had the feet, i had to eat a freaking chicken foot. and i almost cried doing so.
At 6:30 pm, theres a street, and every single day hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of bats fly down this street. I thought it was the end of the world. I thought they were about to just turn into vampires and start attacking everybody. well, everybody but us, cause gods got our back.
People here drive really old trucks and cars, but to make them seem cooler they put in sticker letters the names of fancy cars on their windows, so here you always see cars with the word "Lamborghini" or "Ferrari" on super old cars. it makes me laugh. hahah
Its not as hot here as it is in Babahoyo so thats really good, In the morning you could even describe the air as "fresco" But thats only in the morning. and it makes showering in freezing cold water every morning a chore. I dread showering. But i do it every day. but i hate it, The struggle.
Other than that, nothing much happened. Things are good here. People are very uneducated and sometimes that can be hard, cause they dont think about their actions. But were here to help inform them, right? That theres a peerfect plan that Gods got for them. And how this plan is gonna change their whole life, and perspective on life. Here to help,
Anyways, :) Keep Chuggin.
