AshLee's Letter:
Hola!
Sorry about missing my email last week, but no worries I will catch you up on what has happened in the last two weeks. Well the week of Thanksgiving we actually had a pretty fun week. Presidente Hintze and his wife came to our chapel to do a Noche de Hogar and they talked about the importance of remembering the Savior and also about different Christmas tradicions and we played a fun matching game. For thanksgiving we went to the chapel near the temple and we talked about the importance of serving others and then of course we had our Thanksgiving feast! We actually ate real food for once which was so delicious! We ate turkey, salad, mashed potatos, rolls, and of course my favorite...pumpkin pie! It was fun to see all of the other missionaries and after we ate, we played the game family fued and as always my competetive side came out...CUSCAFUEGO (the name of my zone is Custcatlan and were always on fire)! haha That week we also had our ward family night activity and for that the young women showed off thier value projects that they completed during the year which was interesting to see. Oh and at that activity, good old Herbert brought us mittens so our hands dont get cold! He also gave us arroz con leche during sacrament meeting because it was cold outside. Yep thats my convert! ha Oh last week they finished the Walmart by my house (huzah!) so I think thats basically significant that I shall live by a Walmart for forever.This week weve been working really hard to find new investigators and to really try and find those people who are truely ready to get baptized and receive the gospel. This week I received a telephone from my zone leader and he told me that once again I am training. Im going to be a mom again! ha Ive been training ever since I finished my training so now whenever we have cambios all of the missionaries always go "Well we already know that Hermana Ontiveros is going to train...AGAIN!" haha Im really sad that Im not going to be the companion of Hermana Patterson anymore because shes been one of my favorite companions. Weve had some great times together and Im never going to forget these last six weeks. So on Wednesday we shall find out who is going to be my new companion...wish me luck! This week we have really felt the spirit so strong in everything that weve done, which is a witness to me that the Lord really is here to help us and that we may not always see the results of our work, but we can know that whoever we are teaching has felt the spirit and that we have planted that seed to help them progress in the gospel. We actually had one of our really great progressing investigators move this week which was sade because she had a baptism date and everything, but at least I know that my companion and I helped her to come to know the truth. I know that this is the Lords work and that He lives. Estoy muy agradecida a servir El Senor y aprender cada dia como puedo mejorarme. He visto milagros en mi mision y se que este es el evangelio de Jesucrist y esto es Su iglesia. Espero que sean fieles miembros de la igleasia y que reciban un testimonio de ello. Disfrute este estaccion navidena y tengan una buena semana!
Con amor,
Hermana Ontiveros
ADVENTURAS DE AYUTUXTEPEQUE:
1. During the week of Thanksgiving we were on our way to the ward activity when we see this truck racing down the street and we could see this smoke just spewing out the back. All of a sudden that truck whizzed by us and we were covered in a cloud a wierd white smoke! My comp and I couldnt see eachother so we were terrified, but the situation was so funny that we were laughing our guts out and couldnt breath because all of the smoke.
2. Well my comp and I found this really great positive investigator this week and when we went to go visit him we could really feel the spirit. As we go to leave he shakes my companions hand, and then as I go to shake his hand he pulls me and luckily I turned my head quick enough because he was pulling me in to kiss me and he ended up slobbering on my ear. Needless to say Hermana Patterson was laughing herself sick and I made sure that I washed my ear really well that night! #creepymeninelsalvador
3. We played musical chairs for our zone meeting and I ate some really weird foods this week.#nograciasporlacomida
