So I have some funny stories this week. So first I busted up during a lesson, well I guess before but it was still pretty funny. So we went to this ladies house and it was our first time teaching her. She had a big rabbit as a pet and it was being super annoying. Well Hermana Knapp HATES rabbits and was having a hard time with this thing. Well we started the lesson by singing a hymn. While we were singing this rabbit decided that hermana Knapps backpack looked pretty entertaining and the next thing I know it´s like climbing all of her backpack. I started to get the giggles and had to stop singing wich meant hermana Knapp was singing all by herself because the people here dont like to sing. Well I´m trying to get my laughing under control and I started singing again and made it through maybe two words and the rabit started chewing on the packback and you could hear it. I was cracking up at this point but was trying so hard to not laugh out loud. Hermana Knapp keeps on singing and moves her backpack so the rabbit wiould leave it alone. Well then the Rabbit decides to move to my backpack and I moved my backpack multiple times trying to get this thing not to chew on it. I worked hard and it still tried to chew on my backpack so I just gave up and was still laughing. Then the thing crawls inside of my backpack and I was gone I was laughing out loud and then hermana Knapp started laughing and it was funny, then the lady comes over and picks up her rabbit and walks in the house. I was laughing so hard that i was crying and I couldn´t get things under control. I was worried at the same time that I had offended this lady. But I got myself together by the time she came out and we had a way awesome lesson with her and she commited to being baptized wich was great!!! I´m glad i didn´t offend her but it was a fune experience and one me and Hermana Knapp still laugh about. Well then later that day I had forgotten about the rabbit incident and I was telling hermana Knapp how we hadn´t had any adventures that day and such. Well a few minutes later we were talking and my foot got stuck between to rocks and I went down hard. I was standing one second and the next second I was flat on my stomach with my backpack over my head, my knee bleeding, My planner ripped up from the rocks, and laughing to death. I got up and both me and hermana Knapp were laughing hysterically. I had to pee really bad so I was yelling at her to stop. We got under control and then this guy that had watch it happened walked by and trying not to laugh said "hola". This made us break out into another laughing fit. Well we got ourselves under control and we headed to our next lesson with my knee dripping in blood it was quite entertaining. I´ve been here for three weeks and I have already had to major wipe outs, I think this proves to the world that I am officially a CLUTZ!!!
The next day was another day filled with adventures. Number one we are walking out of the apartment and we run into this guy named Domingo that we had never met before in our lives. Well he was very forward and just wanted to talk and talk and tak to us about absolutely nothing and then he asked for our number and Hermana Knapp just because she has a hard tiem saying no to people gave him our phone number just in case he wanted to call and we could talk about Jesus Christ and the gospel. Well we ran into him three more times that day so to say the least it was a little creepy. He hasn´t called us yet so hopefully he has forgotten about us. Then we had a massive downpour that day (I sent pictures of this). We were in Yukyty which you are ´not supposed to be there in the rain because there are these white worms that come out of the ground and will burrow into yoru feet. So we got there when it was just sprinkling and we had to turn around and leave becvause it started to rain really ahrd. Well then we got stuck in a down pour, it was crazy, the streets were flooeded in a matter of minutes. Then it started hailing really big peices of hail. Itwas really fun we had a lot of fun getting drenched. WE just aughed and laughed and laughed and had a lot of fun!! We got home and changed really fast and went and taught this lady named Yvone. She had the craziest perception of Mromons. I have never heard this one before. But we got there and she was like tell me about this Joseph Smith. And, she knew his name, so we asked her what she knew about him. ANd she said that she heard that we believe that Jesus Christ suffered and died from the people over in Jerusalem and that Joseph Smith suffered and died for the people in America. It was quite funny. I was laughing to say the least!!
This week we have also had some very special experiences. So this Sunday we woke up not very happy becasue we didn´t have anyone commited to church this sunday so We were disappointed in ourseves. So we got up said a little prayer that we would have a miracle and someone would show up to church and then took off to go get a less active family to church. Well we show up at the familia Arguellos and Sister Arguello has her older sister there with her daughter and she came to church with us. We found out that she lived just down the road and has investigated the church before but she just doesn´t want to get baptized even though she knows it is true. So we found her. Well we get to church with Paola and her sister and their kids and we walk in the chapel and we saw another less active women that we have been working with named Clotilde and I was saying hi to her and didn´t realize there was a whole row of young girls that we had tuaght last week that had come to church. It´s three families of girls that range in age from 7 to 15 and there was 6 of them. They had all come to church on their own. IT was cold and they were from Yukyty which is a ways a way from the chapel and it was cold. It was just amazing. Then one of the member grabbed us and introduced us to a young man that they had brought that they want us to start teaching. I tell ya, this is the Lord´s work, we didn´t do anything, literally just a little prayer asking for a miracle and we got over 10. It was just amazing. Everyone stayed for al the meetings too which is aso another miracle. But the Lord really does help us and tries to help us realize that he is guiding this work.
I love this gospel and I am so happy to be a part of it!! Everyone be MEMBER MISSIONARIES!!! They are were the success is!! Love you all . . .. write me!
Love
Hermana Hubbard
