Excerpt from her journal on 18 De Septiembre:
YAY! It’s 18 de
Septiembre! YAAA! Haha.
But actually it’s like the best Dia de Reposo ever because it’s actually
going to be a day of rest. We aren’t
allowed to proselyte today because it’s dangerous because everyone is
drunk! Haha. But no worries, we got plans to make pancakes
and watch “17 Miracles” and enjoy our 18!
But yesterday was our 18 basically because it was the activity with the
ward! So remember how I bought a dress?
Yeah. I bought a dress de China (chinay
wasso). And Hermana M. had a dress
with the flag and Hermanas E. and F. borrowed dresses so we got all
dressed up! And took pictures
outside! We are so famous that this guy
from Poland asked for a picture with us!
Haha, so funny! Then we went
walking to the church. The members LOVED
our outfits! And oh man, the activity
was SO much fun! I LOVE BARRIO RANQUEN! WE really have the best members ever! I went around talking to everyone with
Hermana M. or Her. F. and took LOTS of pictures! I love our members! They are like a family! But anyways, we had it all! First we had empenadas. Later we had churipanes, and then came the
asado! Wow, it was so yummy! And then
everyone started dancing the cueca. But
it was AWESOME! And so sad! Like every member asked us if we could dance!
L But after the mish I am SO learning how! It’s the story of a rooster trying to conquer
a hen is what they tell me! Haha. But no worries, I got lots on video. Oh man, it was so fun! We were there for 3 ½ hours and it felt like
10 minutes. And they were playing this
weird folk dance music during lunch. And
Her. E. called it “hard core folk”.
Oh, it was so funny! It was the
PERFECT 18 with the perfect people in the perfect barrio!
