This week was...awesome! Like always! Well besides the fact that the elevators broke, and are still broken (we live on the tenth floor) and we didn´t have any source of water either! The day the elevators broke was the same day as Zone Conference. At Z.C. we got a huge box of Books of Mormon, and little booklets too that explain the lessons, and other random books and DVDs. So knowing that it would be heavy and that we will have to travel, we took an empty suitcase so that we would be able to get it all home. Well when we walk in our neighbor tells us that the elevators are broken. With a suitcase at least 65 or 70 pounds (literally) we start to walk up the stairs. Some random guy saw us suffering and asked if we wanted help. We said YES. Well he started to try and almost couldn’t lift it but managed to lift it enough. After about 2 flights he started to fall and sweat and die ha-ha. After about 20 minutes we got it up there and he said ¨WHAT IS IN THIS¨´ we told him it is full of the best book ever, and gave him one. Right when he realized who and what we are he walked away fast ha-ha but at least he accepted the BOM!
Remember how in the last letter I said something about our memories
being horrible? Well it just so happened that we.... ok not we, I (it was my
fault) left the keys inside the house and didn´t realized until we went down
all 10 flights of stairs and couldn’t leave the building because we didn’t have
keys! Ha-ha so we had to go back up 10 flights of stairs to see if by any
chance the door was open, and no it was closed. Well long story short we had to
go up and down like 500 times this day and had to pay a bunch of money
to some key guy to break in for us! Ha-ha I always said ´´lets take the
stairs as a half joke to my companion and she always said no´´ this week this
wish came true so many times it’s not even funny!!! Almost every day we forget something
and have to go back up. Now we name the list of things that we
need before we leave, were doing better! We finally have water again! No
elevators is ok, I can handle that, its exercise! But no water. That ones hard!
I think one of the biggest things I´ve learned on my mission is How to laugh
when I want to cry!!
Yesterday we had stake conference and they talked how the Lord sends
the missionaries in the lives of people when it’s the worse hardest point in
their lives. And how we all have friends that are suffering for one thing or
another, introduce them to the missionaries. And also to look for the blessings
in times of sufferings in our own lives. It was good! So that’s my invitation,
whom do you know that is suffering that’s not a member? Send the missionaries!
I love you all tons. I hope your week is full of missionary experiences!!
Love,
Hermana Marchant
