Courtney's Week #68

Hola!!!

Well, I guess the most exciting news. Yesterday we invited Juan Pablo y Helen to get married, and they said yes!!! I feel a little bit like a matchmaker or something, but I just felt so happy. We talked about baptism and invited Helen to be baptized, she said that she would like to get baptized so then we were like perfect, well in order to get baptized you guys have to get married. Will you get married? And they said yes! Okay, so it was a little bit more spiritual and based on the scriptures than that, but you get the point. 

Also this week we started teaching a guy named Guillermo, he lives alone so it is a little bit more difficult because we have to find members that are willing to go with us, but he is great. He is pretty much one of those people who was just waiting for the gospel, but didn't know it. He was going to go to church this week, but he had to work until 8 in the morning and so I think he couldn't manage to go to church at 10, but he really wanted to. 

So I wanted to tell you a little bit more about my companion Hermana Ruiz. She is from THE AMAZON!!!! How cool is that? She said that around where she lives the Indians go around without shirts--the men AND the women--and they paint themselves and everything. How crazy is that? Anyways, but something a little funny, I had to teach my companion how to use a computer and more unbelievable...the microwave. I saw her about two weeks after she got here just staring at the microwave, not knowing how to heat up her milk. It was pretty sad actually, I also felt bad because I didn't realize it sooner, but we're both learning I guess. 

I'm glad that you all are doing well, especially grandma. Send her my love!

Well, I have to go for today, but I love you all!!!
Hermana Evans
