Anyways, hi! Can you believe it is December already? I sure can´t!
I hope everyone at home had a wonderful Thanksgiving - we don´t get dinner here in the mission field, but for lunch I had Ramen and McDonald´s french fries. Living the dream!
So, as soon as I said that it is really warm here last Wednesday, it got COLD. Really. Really. Cold. Like, 2-sweaters-on-while-out-proselyting cold. Like, 4-shirts-3-sweaters-2-sweatpants-socks-and-2-blankets-at-night cold. It finally let up yesterday, but man alive, we are within the tropic lines, you wouldn´t think it would happen! Okay, yeah, it was probably in the mid 60s during the day, and 50s at night, but STILL. Brrr.
Alright, so the chucho! Hna Sol and I got to the church building last on Sunday, and we saw the girls who live in our house waving for us. ¨Hna Judd! Do you have any food on you??¨ Well, duh, I always have food in my backpack. Anyways, turns out that a huge, fat, chocolate lab chucho got into the chapel! We tried luring it out with snacks, but he was much more interested in being at church (the opposite problem we have with our investigators...). It took forever to get the thing off the property, and it just kept coming back! I don´t know what happened in the end, because we had to go sit down, but when we came out after Sacrament meeting, it was gone.
We had a district PDay yesterday, where we all went to the chapel, and watched 17 Miracles on the projector. The elders even cooked us French Toast! I´m pretty sure the French toast wasn´t all that great, but I haven´t been in the US for almost 3 months now, so it was good to me!
Spanish is still a major frustration, since I feel like I am not participating much during lessons. However, every once in a while, a miracle happens, and I just start talking to them, without even really any idea of what I am saying, but it just...happens. Really cool to experience.
Alright, speaking of Spanish, time for Favorite Guatemalan Spanish Words with Hna Judd!
1. Vaya (means sure, yeah)
2. Cabal (means exactly, perfect)
3. Puchica (Puchica is probably my all time favorite Spanish word, because it has about 17 different uses, but nobody knows what it actually means. You would use it while starting a story, to say dang it, and like 15 other different ways)
4. Saber (it is used in the verb form, meaning to know, but Guatemalans actually use it to say I don´t know)
5. Eso (means perfect, excellent, always done with this weird finger snap they do down here)
6. Chambon (lazy)
7. Shuco (gross)
8. Perdon pues (ah, I see)
Anyways, hope everyone is doing well!
