Week 72- I bet your Thanksgiving dessert wasn't better than mine!!! :-P

My hands sometimes lose circulation... it's greAAAAT..... not

Dear Friends and Family,

 

This may be short. The keyboard and I are NOT getting along today. 

 



Dandelion that we found ALL over...
so we made wishes

So this week was pretty long and hard. We worked and worked and worked and guess what??? We found NO ONE at home. Sunday we were fasting and we had tried like 5 backup plans and we decided that we were going to go to the complete other half of our sector... not too far away, but like a 15 minute stroll down Cusco. So we are walking and I HATE knocking doors so I'm not even sure why I did, but I just knocked on a random door. REALLY there were millions others but that was the one my hand knocked and this lady opens the window/peep hole thingy and my companion asked if Henry lived there (the man we were previously looking for) and she told us no. She was asked what her name was and she very abruptly and coldly told us she couldn't give us her name because she didn't know us. I just smiled and said ''Hi, I'm Hermana Lang and this is my companion....'' She then looked us and it is still very awkward and she goes well I'm Gladys. So we told her we had a message of happiness for families and then she smiled and I was expecting to hear ''oh thanks, but..... we're catholic'' the typical response. But she opened the door and told us to come in. WHAT???? We walked in and talked to her and her husband (YES THEY ARE MARRIED) and their 2 sons and then we sang a Christmas song and they told us to come back! It was my miracle Sunday. Let's just say that Heavenly Father listens to my prayers. I asked that we could find someone that would accept us and that the spirit would lead us to them! 

Inca Pachecutec...
he is in the
middle of our sector

This sign should NEVER
have been put up on
someone's house

We found alfajores...
So this is me with my mate and alfajor

 

THANKGIVING DESSERT!

Anyways, this next week we go to the Sacred Valley to visit the sisters there and I am excited. I love the weather there. This week should be a really busy week. We found some people that we can actually teach this week and half of the week we will be in meetings or visiting the other sisters so a jam packed week!

 

Hermana Thompson and I eating dessert

My new favorite breakfast... nutella and a banana.
I'm not sure that's really healthy

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving. We don't celebrate it here in Peru, but since I live with 3 other gringas and a Mexicana that lived in the US for a little bit, we decided to make our own dessert. Thanks Mom for more Nutella. It was used to say thanks for all of the food we miss in America.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a wonderful week!

 

Love Always,

Hermana Lang
