Good news.... HERMANA H___________ AND I GET TO STAY
TOGETHER FOR ONE MORE CHANGE!!!!
Even more good news.... WE ARE STILL IN P__________!
I would honestly be content to serve my whole time in this
single area. And, you literally could
here. Our area is GIANT! Every day we
discover more of it. Hidden paths and
lamina houses built in the middle of the jungle. Or, what you think is a door to a house but
is actually a hidden calle with approximately 600 more houses down it. But really, if we walk from one corner of our
area to the other as fast as we can without contacting a single soul.... it
takes almost 2 hours.
We have our work cut out for us here.
But I am super happy! I love it.
Part of the challenge with getting around in our area is how
it is laid out. Lots of the colonials in
our area aren’t logically connected to each other.
But here comes the tender mercy.... WE FOUND A SECRET WAY TO
GET FROM LA JOYA TO BRISAS!!!
Ok folks, I know that doesn’t mean much to you, but I
promise this is a big deal. Before, you
had to wrap all around P___________ to get from one to the other and it would
take an hour. But we found an easier way!!! Es facil! All you have to do is
1. Go all the way to
the bottom of La Joya
2. Bribe the
Guatemalan children with candy to get them to open the gate for you into someone’s
yard.
3. DON’T acknowledge
the truck full of drunks wearing Utah Jazz shirts who are yelling at you
4. Go tromping
through the weeds (past the pile of abandoned diapers)
5. Climb over the
open sewer (be careful)
5 and a half.... Climb over the barbed wire fence.
6. Yell ¨PERMISO¨ so
you don’t get shot as you trespass through someone else’s vegetable garden
7. Use your umbrella
to fend off the pack of rabid dogs that start chasing you
8. Walk along the
dirt trail until you pass the tree with chickens in it
9. Turn right
10. Pass through the
gate (confidently... Like you actually live there)
11. Walk around the
parking lot
12. YOU ARE IN BRISAS!!!!
It is a miracle people!
Other good news...
Hermana H__________ and I reached our very special goal this
week. Wednesday, we decided that if we
had 10 people yell GRINGAS as we walked by, we would buy ourselves McFlurries
(McDonalds delivers here, and is actually delicious... Bring on the mission
weight).
We called it ¨Hermana Wise and H_______’s Protest against
Racism¨
We met our goal by lunch (we decided to count the lady who
yelled ¨GO BACK TO AMERICA¨ as the final offense)... So we got ice cream!
I love racism!
Also, we had a BAPTISM THIS WEEKEND!!!! Her name is Betzabae
(have fun pronouncing that one, Mom).
She is 18 and super pilas! We found her through the members and hope to
teach her Mom soon too. We have high
goals for baptism this month and know it’s possible!!!
Speaking of which, if you would all keep Mariela and
Fransisco in your prayers that would be great! They are two siblings who have
been going to church for months now and are so ready to be baptized. Only problem is that their Mom won’t sign for
them.... But they really want to be baptized in June. We need a miracle here.
Would you put them on the MoTab prayer roll please, Dad?
I would like to end this email with a few shout outs...
Shout out to ALISA BAKER FOR BEING THE COOLEST PERSON EVER
AND GETTING HER MISSION CALL! She is going to TEAR IT UP IN MEXICO
Shout out to Kenzie for finding a four petaled flower for
her Biology project! I was getting worried for you!
Shout out Ashlyn Perry who is officially in the field!
Love you guys!!!
Keep making good choices, everyone! Don’t be stoops, read
your scriptures!
Until next week
Hna Wise
