Agua Blanca

Today was another awesome day in service! We got to go and work an area called "Agua Blanca". A very neat little area down off the beaten path a couple miles. It's very pretty! Not a whole lot of people were home there. But I was getting to know my little sister Daniela better anyway :) She's such a tease! It's hilarious. She's the daughter of the brother that used to be the town drunk. Such encouraging experience! In the picture she's the one second from the right... in case you couldn't guess ;)
 The sister all the way to the right is Liety. She has an amazing story too. She started learning the truth when she was still living with her parents. Her entire family was severly opposed. Her father would threaten to kill her. And when she made the brave decision that she was going to serve Jehovah no matter what, her father pulled a gun on her actually tried to shoot her. But Jehovah provided a protection for her. A brother came by her house just when her father was about to kill her and stopped him. Her father ended up killing himself after that. And in his suicide note, he wrote that the main reason he was killing himself was because she became a witness! It's almost unimaginable some of the things the brothers and sisters have gone through to serve Jehovah! It makes me appreciate everything Jehovah has given me so much more! Also in the picture is Avery (from Georgia) and Jon Carlos (aka JC).

Me and Kel's buddy in the middle is Adonis. He's super cute and absolutely loves his picture being taken! Me and Daniela were messing around with the ties that we found in the backseat of the van. Then JC and Courtz got ahold of one, LOL!

Spanish Lessons

So Kello and I have started our Spanish lessons! Super exciting stuff.
I was so naive about it. I walked in thinking that I was going to know a little bit. I know nothing as I found out on our very first day, Tuesday. Our wonderfully fantastic profesora Paola, started us at the very basics of Spanish... the alphabet. It's so sad to me that I had no clue how the Spanish alphabet was spoken. lol. And then we were distinguishing between masculine and feminine nouns. Super basic stuff, but apparently very necessary for speaking Spanish. Who knew!?! lol.

 Then today we were working on conjugating verbs. Starting out with the regular ones ending in -ar. So I have a ton of homework (tarea) that I have to finish before Tuesday. I love that I have homework again!
