Sleepovers and milanessa

Image
We had a sleepover! In reward of completing our weekly goals me and my comp (who definitely don't sleep in the same room every night) lugged both of our mattresses downstairs and slept there for fun! We did face masks and then slept. A little lame on the sleepover part but we were so tired from the day of work already. Definitely was a change in routine which was fun. 10/10 recommend to anyone who wants to be spontaneous. We ate a lot of Argentinian food this week. I had 3 days of milanessa. Milanessa is a thin peice of meat breaded and fried. (A glorified chicken nugget). Its really yummy and funny to see how worshipped it is.  We were walking home for the day and a random lady on the sidewalk goes "Hermanas!!" And opens up for a hug and besito. Normally I would be like "uhhhh" but Im a missionary now so okay! She talks to us a bit then invites us into her house full of Haitians. We go in. She tells us she is a member and shows us her Relief Society group chat....

Sunshine

There is sunshine in my soul today This week didn't have a ton of sunshine literally, it had a lot of rain. But. I FELT the sunshine and light of God.  We were walking one way to knock doors in a neighborhood and I felt the strongest impression to turn around. I didnt listen at first and we crossed two cross walks and were on our way. I (kind of embarrassingly) asked my comp if we can turn around and she said "por supuesto". We went back and knocked the door. It was an inactive member of 20 years!! She has had zero contact with missionaries for all the time she's lived in her house so we are the first! Her daughter (12 yrs old) LOVES when we come over and teach her. She always squeels  "EEEEEEE HERMANAS!!" when we go to her house. I squeel with her of course. This week we were able to invite her to be baptized. She said yes 🥹 Her mom already is excited to get her a dress, make invites, and plan a little after party for her daughter. They are sunshine.
