So we have big news! Last Monday at 10 o´clock at night the zone leaders called and said that we had emergency transfers and that Hermana Santos was leaving us to go to Miramonte in San Salvador. So, we had to take her to San Salvador on tuesday morning. That was a shock. The missionary in Miramonte was also training but her new companion went home from depression. That is sad that the mission can give people depression or that the first 3 months can feel really lonely and stuff. But that is how things turned out and because there were an even number of missionaries in the mission, there was no need for a trio anymore. So we are back to two: Hermana Izaguirre and me. We felt a little like Timon and Pumba. Like we had been deserted but now we had readjusted and are happy. And really it is better and a lot easier to not be in a trio.
We didn´t have our baptism of Jaime yet either. He now needs to have an interview with President Lopez. We don´t know what he did because that is private information but we do know that it was a long time ago and that he will probably pass and we will probably have his baptism this Saturday. The funny thing about it is that there was an open house at the church and we were going to do his baptism afterwards. And apparently, after we left, the parents of Jaime showed up from San Salvador to see his baptism. And guess what, they are recent converts from last month!! Jaime never told us that his parents were members. He did tell us that a long time ago they had listened to the missionaries but they were really Catholic. So when we saw him again
he said ¨Oh yeah, my parents are members.¨ Jaime is a very strange guy but yet we still love him. He is 31 years old, attending school and sells bracelets and earrings on street corners as a side job. The other day, we passed him and he was selling on the street corner and all of a sudden, he whipped out a broom and a bright orange sweatshirt. Then he wrapped the sweatshirt around his head and covered everything except a little slit for his eyes. And then he began sweeping the sidewalk. Other days we passed his and he is dressed all in black with a beanie on his head and he says that he is a ninja. We know he is a strange guy, but he is our strange guy.
One funny thing is that when I am in a state of panic, I speak English. The other day we were walking through a field and Hermana Izaguirre saw a snake. She stopped suddenly and said ¨Culebra.¨ I didn´t hear what she said, only that it was something urgent and so I began saying ¨What?! What?!¨ And backing up quickly. But then she has made fun of me since. Months ago when I was with Hermana Salazar, I woke up one Saturday morning at 6. But I thought it was Sunday and on Sunday we have to wake up at 5 so I went in to panic mode saying ¨What day is it?! Today is Sunday?!¨ And I kept talking to her and she never answered me and I got annoyed and then I realized I was talking in English.
Not much else has happened. The ward had an open house activity which was a bomb. Almost nobody showed up. Hermana Izaguirre was really annoyed but I was fine knowing that it wasn´t our activity and they
basically just invited us to go.
Well I love you all so much. I can´t believe that it will soon be
March! Time really flies by.
