Hermana Katie Griffin

Well, somehow i survived half my mission and this week has been what i feel to be a perfect representation of la vida misional... chaotic Monday we had a FHE with a teenager who's a recent convert, and her mom who is super inactive, and it was really good. Antonella (the 13yr old) made these muffins with blueberries, and we ended up talking about baking a ton, which as you all know, is kinda my thing! We were also able to talk a lot about the Book of Mormon and read a chapter with them. I could have stayed there all night   but we did eventually have to leave. A little later, we were going to visit someone else we're currently teaching, and had a really weird feeling. There were a bunch of flashlights and stuff inside the house, and we decided to not go visit her... and we also decided to go home a different way from how we normally do, which meant going around the long way through the path right next to the river. We normally cut up through centro because the path by the rive...

Ok! Its p day!! I survived a full week once again and ive somehow arrived (this coming week) to the halfway mark of my mission. My mind is kinda blown actually, it feels like such a large amount of time, and also like nothing... anyways!   Monday the Elders were LAME and didn't wanna go do the hike that we had been looking forward to ALL week  but it's ok, me and hna Sorenson had a girls day!!!! We went and got her hair cut (the lady messed it up pretty bad but its okay, we had hermana Pierce rescue it and now she looks really cute!!), and then we went and pizza in this fancy cafe with live music and glass bottled coke. We were definitely enjoying ourselves!! And I also made oatmeal cookie fudgy bars in the morning... my moms favorite!! In the evening it was nice and chill, we answered and sent a bunch of texts and calls, and spent some time on the road by the river although there we didn't find anyone new.  Tuesday was kind of a crazy day. We had a lesson with this ...

Heyyyyyy happy p day  Monday was a super fun day! We had a tranquilo morning talking to family and cleaning up, and then we went to centro ro find new shoes for hermana Sorenson (we did not succeed), after that we had this idea to make smores! And so we went to a store to buy marshmallows and chocolate and cookies (Graham crackers don't exist here) and we also bought bananas. Our bags were pretty small, so thr marshmallows and the bananas didn't fit, so I was just carrying them and we decided to go to this pizza place and we walk up kinda awkwardly because it's a pizza place that happens to have a bar, and so we're like can we sit outside to eat?  And the dude is like, uhhh let me go ask.  So then this lady comes from where she was and she was like, you want to sit outside to eat?  And we were like, yeah?  And she told us, well the truth is that you can't. But it's okay just this once, but if more people come we'll have to send you away.  And I said, wait. ...
