Other than getting my first nephew, probably the most exciting thing that happened was a squished lizard. Saturday night I closed the door of the bedroom, and the next morning shrieked after opening it and realizing I had murdered the largest lizard I have ever seen inside someone's house before. Its poor turquoise eyes and stiff little feet. It wasn't all the way squished flat, it probably mostly suffocated. It stayed there, making me jump every time I walked into the room, until this morning. It had started to swell up, probably decomposing or something, and Hna Saenz was the bravest and the only one who would get a back to peel it off the door frame and throw it away.
Other than that, Hna Conrady got the infamous chinkungunya. I think most people here tell us they have it so that we'll leave them alone. I need to start carrying my thermometer and make sure they're actually fevering, and if not, "pull out the plastic chairs! We're having a lesson!"
Martin is a 14 year old investigator. He is the little brother of the young women's president (she's 19 and just graduated high school). He has quite the stammer, just when he reads. It's really difficult for him. But he tries hard and is now in 1 Nefi 13.
A couple of inactive teenage girls came to church after we visited them. So that's good.
We contacted a man named Guillermo and had a really cool lesson about the Restoration. He asked at the end what our core message as Mormons would be to the world. I said, "that every person can pray to God and know that He has restored the one true church to the earth today, and that through it, they can live with God again."
I'd never thought about it so simply before, but that is pretty much our message to the world. Not so hard when you think of it that way, right?
Hope you all can remember some of the blessings you've received because God loves us enough to reveal the true gospel again.
Love you,
Hermana Sarah
