surprises

What a week! Actually not much happened, it was actually a short week of extremely long days. But a few stories. Last Monday we figured out our oven! And promptly made brownies; we miss our American desserts! We started teaching a single mom and her two kids, that are 12 and 9. They are amazing. We leave chapters of the Book of Mormon for them to read and we left a chapter on the Fall of Adam and Eve. Usually people have lots of questions and don't really understand it. But they did! They explained it nearly perfectly to us; why Adam and Eve had to eat of the fruit and what we gained from it. It was a nice surprise. Later on we were trying to find an investigator when two older men walked over and each picked one of us to talk with. The guy that came over to me asked me what we were doing there, why we were there, how long and then asked me how old I thought he was. I guessed low and eventually he told me he was turning 76 next month and he likes white girls. I just about died when he said that—some people are crazy!

Brownies the sisters made.

So tomorrow there are cambios, and we don't have them! I get another transfer with my companion in this area! When I finish, it will be six months here. Good thing I love it and my comp so much! Our other surprise was that this morning our District Leader called us and said he got permission for our district to go to the pyramids!! So about three hours later we arrived and it was so awesome. I loved it! It is amazing to think about the history of the people here, especially considering the Book of Mormon. We hiked the pyramids, took lots of pictures and then hurried back. It was a quick trip but well worth it.

We don't have much more time since we spent so much of our day travelling but I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!! 

Love,
