Day 22- January 31st, 2012

Day 22-Tuesday, January 31st, 2012. 
Last day of January today!! Today we did in fact have a long day…well somewhat. We started at 9 and finished at 3. Not too long but since we were walking for literally all of that. Its a LONG day! We took the Neals with us, I think they were tired afterward but they seemed to enjoy it. In service we had to cross over a creek, without a bridge. There was a tree that had fallen down, so we crossed over that… THAT was FUN!! I got to take my shoes off and walk across in my medias. Haha! Then we did 2 of my Bible Studies. So far so good. The farthest one away took about an hour walking up hills to get to. But Xcenia had already read the first Chapter of the Bible Teach Book. She likes to talk which is good. I asked her if she would like me to bring a Bible Story back for Daniela. Daniela looked at her and was like "PLEASE, MOM!" This little girl reminds me of… 'Rick! Rick! Rick!' Haha! So Xcenia wanted to know how much the book was, I explained to her how the donations work and she seemed pretty impressed. She said I could bring back the book next week. So there ya go!! :) I think each week I will try to read one story all together. It will be good for Xcenia too, she will be able to know her Bible a little more. :) We will see! After we left we went to eat our packed lunch in a caseta. No Beet-ch-os there, Can you tell I don't know exactly how to spell that word. And I am afraid of asking cause I have an idea of how it is spelt. Ha! Anyways, then me and Yari went to see Neida which is my Bible Study in the indigenous language here. She was doing good. The other girls didn't come out of the house until we were almost done, the baby was sleeping, the cows were in the their pen. So she didn't have any distractions. I find though she is suspicious of new people. Hmm…we will work through that. After that we walked down to were the kingdom hall is, Yari has a RV about a 30 minute walk past the KH so we went. The lady wasn't home. Then we walked to the Neals house and hung out. And waited for the bus. We got off at the main school, and waited for another bus to take us home. The bus didn't come but a family that knows the Mirandas showed up. So we hopped in the back of their Jeep and they drove to their house which is a lot closer tours then the store. We hopped out said Thanks and Goodbye and then we walked the rest of the way to the Mirandas. We were super tired when we got home. The family wasn't home so we just chilled outside for a while on the porch, talking. Then at the same time we were both like ''Well.." and got up. :) Yari went to take a nap and I went to shower.  After a while we all gathered in the kitchen to make dinner, i told the girls I wanted to go watch a movie and asked them if they wanted to watch an English movie with me. To my surprise they did! So we went through all the movies I have looking for any with Spanish subtitles. I only have 3 movies with subtitles, 2 in English and one in… Romanian! What?! Ha! Anyways, they wanted to watch Oceans 11 so we all crowded on my bed and we used my legs as a table for my laptop. They want to watch a couple more later on. After we finished the movie it was like 10 so we all went to bed. It was a busy day today. Tomorrow will be the same, in service today the Neals offered me a proposal that of course I accepted…Tomorrow we will go to Rio Sereno and have breakfast do a few things there, then we will take the bus to Volcan and explore there, then take the last bus back and buy stuff in Rio Sereno then go home.  It sounds like fun, I am going to tell my friends in Volcan that we are going to be there, we will see if they can do something. :) Oh I almost forgot. Today in service it was hilarious! I got a text message so I looked at it and I was like " Aww its my boyfriend!" Yari was like "WHAT?! You have a boyfriend already! But you guys just met each other!" In my own defense I have no idea who she is talking about, well I didn't know I do. But you don't and won't. HA! So I was like "Yeah! Its my Boyfriend we have been going out for almost a week now." And she was like :O I said "He is a really good boyfriend. You know he always is texting me, everyday at least 2 or 3 times. Just checkin in, telling me how I can save some money. His name is Movie Star." And then she started laughing. And she said "Oh! I though you were talking about (CENSORED SO AS NOT TO INCRIMINATE THE VICTIM) Anyways, it was pretty funny, she told Yoly what happened when we all got home. And Yoly was like "What! When did (CENSORED SO AS NOT TO INCRIMINATE THE VICTIM) ask you out?!" Then Yari told her it as Movie Star and she started laughing. We practiced our talk after that! I got it almost all the way down. We will practice it again later. Thats all for tonight! Goodnight Day 22!

  1. Remember when we first moved to Irapuato and we walked and walked everywhere?! Kind of like the Israelites whose shoes never wore out, except of course, ours did. :)
    What ever happened with Xcenia? Is she one of the ones that continued to study?
    Movie Star was a pretty good joke. I think I commented on that before or we talked about it on the phone. I love you so much. Mom
