We
also baptized Anabel this weekend, which was way good! It was such an
amazing experience. She was definitely prepared by the Lord to be
baptized and to be taught. And now her mom has been reading the Book of
Mormon, so now we just have to get her to come to church, and then she
can take the step to be baptized too!
We are
continuing to work with the Family Jimenez and they are awesome and I
love them! They gave us blankets this week that are suuuuuuuuuper comfy.
SO soft, but SO warm and cozy haha. And they are always super excited
to listen and to learn. We almost always eat something small with them,
but they are always like, "eat fast so you can teach us!" haha it is
amazing.
I am not sure what else happened this
week.. To answer a few questions, Yes, I do dream in spanish, not
always, but a good portion of the time, although not as much now because
I still talk english with elder Larsen, but when I am always talking in
spanish, I almost always dream in spanish.
I
have a new favorite food! Or drink actually. It is called Colada Morada.
It is like a fruit drink or something, that is super popular here. I am
not quite sure how to describe it, but it is a drink that they only
make here during this time of year for the day of the dead. And they eat
it with bread in the shape of dolls with a little bit of frosting which
they call guaguas de pan (kids of bread) guagua is kids in kichwa. And
that drink is SO good!
2 Samuel 22:2-4 is my
thought for the week. I found out about this scripture from the mission
president´s wife, and it is a powerful scripture. So amazing. We can do
all things because of Christ. I know that He lives and that He loves
every one of us so much better than we could ever hope to understand!
I love you all and thank you for all of your prayers. Remember who you are!
Love,
Elder Dallin Parker
