Happy
4th! I will be dreaming of
hot dogs and fireworks this week. Here,
the dogs aren’t edible and the “fireworks” are more like cannons. This week was fun. The town had a fiesta for the Saint San
Pedro, which means there was ongoing music and cannons shaking our window
panels throughout the night. It also
means there were a ton of Catholics, so we contacted like crazy and beat the
record in San Pedro with 101 contacts.
My companion and I seemed to run into quite a few barrachos this
week. They prefer to talk to us in
English, so I try to make friendly conversation as we walk by. My companion asked me this week if I knew the
barrachos. I said no. She thought that was super funny. It is also funny when she started to understand
what they’re saying. I hand them word of
wisdom pamphlets. It is my favorite
thing to do.
On a
more spiritual note, we have a baptismal date coming up very soon (2 weeks) for
a lady named Salome. She’s practically
blind and lives in a little house made out of wooden planks & cardboard
boxes. We love her lots. She likes going
to church and taking the discussions, but she is sad she can’t read the Book of
Mormon.
It really
makes you reevaluate what your complaints are about in life. I’m grateful that I have a house with walls
and eyes to see.
I’m
grateful that we have the opportunity to read the Book of Mormon today, and one
day Hermana Salome will too.
I
Love You.
XOXO,
Hermana Cox
