There and Back Again: A Sister Missionary's Tale: Semana 3

Hola Everybody!
Wow, first half of CCM/MTC is over, and I am shocked. To say that I am starting my fourth week here just sounds wrong. They don't kid when they say the mission goes by too fast. Not that I don't miss you guys a ton, I've just been waaay busy. We have two investigators now (have I already said this?) Hermano Silva who is Daniel, and Hermano Rogers who is Mario. Lessons are going well but we have a much harder time with Mario than with Daniel. Hermano Rogers is set on teaching us how to teach doctrines, not applications, which is A LOT harder than it seems especially with this language barrier, but that's the difference between getting converts and getting baptisms (and we want converts).
By the way, Hermano Roger's said his dad served a mission in Lancaster, California. And during HIS mission he was companions with Riley Kellogg. Pretty crazy, huh?
Another crazy thing, a missionary in my district by the name of Elder Phillips, said he knows the guy who made that general authorities Reese's Peanut Butter Cup video. :)
I forgot to mention how last week my district and I were invited over to the CCM President's house for brownies one night. They were soooo good, but not as good as the ones my family makes. (They didn't have any nuts; blasphemy, am I right?)
Eating food here at the CCM can be a bit of a challenge when there's a shortage of certain utensils. Like when you have to cut your meat with a spoon, because all the forks are gone, or eat your cereal with a fork because there's no more spoons, But we get creative and it's fun. Shortages like that haven't happened for a while now though.
One of our Elders left a couple days ago. We fasted for him, prayed, and our teachers talked to him a lot (they really care about us and are a big comfort to us all) but he just didn't want to be here. We were all sorry to see him go.

ANYWAYS...

My blisters have finally turned into calluses. I never thought I'd be so grateful for calluses. But unfortunately, unlike blisters, the mosquitoes won't go away, and I wasn't getting bit until this last week, so I bought some OFF today. There are just so many! It's because of all this rain. I think my first week was deceiving when it comes to the weather here, because it POURS every day from about 5pm-7pm without fail. Walking to class from dinner is perilous! We literally walk in water up to our ankles. People slip/eat it every day. I've seen more than one shoe getting swept downstream. But it's just exciting to me, but I'm not going to lie, I am grateful now to be going to the dry portion of WA. My hair, because of the humidity, was just laughable. SO FRIZZY. I was like Hermione even after using my straightener.

That's pretty much it for this week!
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. Con todo mi amor,
