Semana 47 (Where's Otto?)

Buenas!!

We started off this lovely week doing some service! We raked lots of leaves and debris! Then the family fed us an insane amount of chicken! And by that I mean, I literally ate almost an entire chicken by myself! 🐔

We also had Zone Conference in La Chorrera this week! It was super fun! Not much really happened. But it was fun to see and talk to lots of my friends! We also ate Subway! However, it was a wee bit sad because both my fathers (trainers) gave their final testimonies. To think in a single transfer, I am to become an orphan... but we got Chicheme after and all was good! Chicheme is basically sweet corn milk that is what I consider to be the "Nectar of the Gods".🌽🥛

Thursday was a wild day! We went to go find our friend Obdulia, and we had no clue where she lived. But we hopped on a bus, and away we went into the unknown. By pure miracles sent from heaven, she lives in our area by less than a mile, AND there on the bus we took, it just so happened that her nephew was there. Thus we arrived safely to wherever we were! Many prayers from Obdulia and us were answered. We taught her a good lesson, and she shared her whole life story. There is a lot to share about that, but I will just tell you all that God truly prepares his people! Obdulia is a complete miracle!🙏🙏

That same day we met a man named Otto. He was a very strange man, who liked to say even stranger things. He was attempting to talk in English, and I'm fairly certain I heard correctly, but from what I understood is that Elder Keck and I are "Multi-cultural hating Nazi's whom perform incest in such a way that we are in fact communistic Amish people." We tried leaving, but he just followed us. While he tried speaking more English to us, I decided to trip up his stride. I turned to Elder Keck and started speaking in Chinese. I would love to say I'm cool and know Chinese, but I was indeed speaking gibberish. However, it seemed to do the trick. Otto was so confused and slightly scared that he went away. He didn't go terribly far, and kept staring us down. But, as we were waiting for our bus we looked back to where he had been, and he vanished. My comp merrily turned to me and said "It's not where's Waldo, but where's Otto." Safe to say that if you ever see a Spaniard man wearing a striped red shirt, you found him😶‍🌫️🚨👀🕵

Friday there was a huge party! Food, cake, dancing, and a piñata! It was a really fun time! 🪅 🪅 

Saturday there was also another big party! More food, cake, and dancing! 🕺💃

Sunday was just the good old day of rest. We had church, taught Yasmina, then had church again, and taught more lessons. It was a good day! Even better was the fact that Yasmina wanted to move her baptismal date forward! So she will be getting baptized even sooner!! Whooo!!

My thought for you all today is that God prepares a way! The scriptures say this all the time, but I add my testimony to it! God is perfect, and thus His plan is perfect! We just need to have the faith and humility to align ourselves with it, and then we see miracles!

I love you all so much! Have a fantastic week! Keep praying for my people! Until next week!
