WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New cars; aren't you guys super
cool!!!!!!!! Where did you get the money
to buy those?? ;) Oh yeah, that's right,
I hooked you up with the drug cartel down here in good old Juarez! You are welcome ;) But I like them a lot; they look super cool
especially the one that is energy efficient! But Eric
also mentioned that you are thinking about selling MY tan truck.... Just remember that you do have another
daughter, and she loves you very much!! hahaha No, I’m just kidding. I am getting pretty dang good at walking,
actually that is all I ever do! The days
that we have meetings are the days that my legs feel weak and really weird! I think my body is so accustomed to walking it
is just part of life!!! BUT HAPPY NEW
CARS!!!
This week was full
of crazy stories, getting lost (surprise!), moving into our new house (which is
like a 5 star hotel), finding a few more people to teach and just really
enjoying the mission and the wonderful blessings that we see every single day! First things first.... I finally bought some
new shoes, so if you see a purchase in my account that would be why...:) They are super nice and I feel like a new
girl! haha I think I am a terrible
companion though, Hermana Anderton got blisters all over her feet and well it
took us like 3 days to finally go and buy new ones! But we are all good and feeling great now!!
So like I said we
moved houses this week. What happened is
that we were living with a cute old couple in our Ward for the first week or
two.. (like really living with them) And
although it was great to share the kitchen because there were always beans
ready to eat, we couldn't live like that! So we moved into a different house which is
right behind a member and it is super nice!!!! We have a washing machine!!!!! AND an oven!!! We feel like we are on cloud nine... well I
do; I think my companion thinks all of her houses are going to be this nice...
hahahahahahaha :) But we spent a few
days cleaning with the Hermana who owns the house and FINALLY we got to move
in. We still are getting settled but we
really like where we are at!!! Another thing
which is super awesome about where we live is it is right around the corner
from a nursing home! IT IS THE BEST! We have made friends there and all the cute
old people love when we come by to sing “Nearer my God to Thee!” The best is one lady that is so so funny! She has Alzheimer’s and really can't ever
remember who we are, but she makes the funniest jokes and always makes us
smile! It reminds me of the good memories
that I had at Maple Springs! But we try
to make a stop by every other day or so to see how our “adopted grandparents”
are!!!
AHHHHH - This week
we were walking down a street and there was a man who was just working on his
car. We said, “Buenas Tardes” and then
he replied... "I speak English!!!" and we both turned instantly and
smiled!! At first we thought how does he
know we speak English, but then we realized hahahahaha - TWO WHITE GIRLS
WALKING AROUND THE STREETS OF JUAREZ!!!! But he is super cool! He works in El Paso, which is like 8 minutes
from his house in a car, and his wife is from here so they live here!!! He only speaks English and a little Spanish,
so it is PERFECT for us!!! He lived in
the United States a while ago and took the missionary lessons and was
preparing for his baptism.... But the
elders got transferred so he stopped 2 weeks before his baptism!!! His wife is a member but who knows what
happened, (it just wasn't his time yet...) BUT it was a miracle to be there and to get to
know him!! We really think he is ready
to change and except the gospel!!! My
companion is absolutely ECSTATIC!!! She
said, I finally will be able to understand an investigator!!! She is super sweet! But yeah! I will keep you posted on how everything is
going! But for sure, it is a little hard
to teach in English.... I think that is a good sign!!!! ;)
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! Hermana Anderton LOVES running.... she kills me almost every morning! But I am enjoying it and I feel a lot better during the day! She is my personal trainer... so hopefully I don't come back fat!!!! ;)
2. Do you speak Spanish or English when at home?
hahahahaha WELL..... We speak a lot of Spanish..... But stories are so much cooler in English!! We are working hard - don't worry!! What usually happens is I try and speak in English and she laughs at me because my English a really bad... hahaha :) But she really is getting better at Spanish!!!
3. What is the capital of Peru?
LIMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. What have you learned to cook for us?
We are going tomorrow to a sisters house to learn how to make tortillas... so I will keep you posted on that one for the next week!! I need to learn how to make more... I am just getting really good at eating!!!! BUT I LOVE CHILE!!! Yesterday at lunch, we ate with the other 2 sisters in our Ward (one of them is Mexican...) and no one could finish their pasta because it was super hot... so all of them gave me theirs!!! (I THINK THAT MEANS I'M MEXICAN!!!!!)
5. How’s the foot, don’t lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My foot is GREAT!!! No worries there; I feel good, and it really doesn’t bother me! But I did buy a new pair of shoes because my other ones died.... hahahaha
But that was our week!!! It was super good! Oh yeah, if you want to read about what my comp has to say, I think she has a blog now... you can see both points of views... (hahahaha - funny) But we are super happy and doing good and loving life!!! Hermana Anderton is AWESOME! She is such a blessing for me! I know that the Lord sent her to me! Just like He always does, he is looking out for us and showing how much He loves us! I am so grateful to be here on the mission and experience what true happiness is and help the children of God find the way back to him! The work is hastening!!! IT IS THE BEST!!!
I hope you have a great week!!!! I miss you guys so much!!!!!!!!!! The time is going super fast... enjoy the time you have without me... because you will have me for eternity!!!!!!!!! :)
Hermana Sutton
