Hola,
This week I found a llama! I've
looked for one in all my areas and I've finally found one. On Saturday, Hermana
Irizarry and I were setting up for a wedding reception for someone in our ward.
It was in a backyard in a neighborhood with a lot of land and a lot of animals.
I asked the owner if there were any llamas in the neighborhood and to my
surprise he said yes. So we walked as fast as we could to that house and took
lots of pictures. I just had to dodge the 2 mean emu's protecting the llama.
I've always promised myself that I wouldn't leave my mission until I found a llama,
so now I have nothing to worry about with LESS THAN A MONTH left.
Thanksgiving was fun. It started
off with a turkey bowl where I beat all the boys on the football field. At
11:00 we ate with the familia Flores. They didn't know why we celebrate thanksgiving,
and I don't know how to say pilgrims or Plymouth in Spanish, so I think they
still don't know why we celebrate. We ate sopes which are about as far away
from turkey and mashed potatoes as you get, but they were still really good. In
the afternoon, we went to dinner with some sisters in an English ward in
Gilbert and had a delicious traditional feast. It was also 80 degrees on
thanksgiving day, so that was crazy. On Sunday, it rained and now it's really
cold here in the low 60s.
On Wednesday, I got to go back
to Phoenix for exchanges with Hermana Medina from Sonora, Mexico. She's so cute
and we had a lot of fun. She's been out for like 4 weeks, so she caught me up
on some pop culture and taught me one of the latest dances. Video to come.
While in Phoenix, I got to teach Ivan, so it was fun to see him again. Also, I
found out that on Tuesday, this lady I taught in Phoenix named Oralia got
baptized. And this Sunday, a guy I found my last week in Phoenix named
Alejandro is getting baptized. I wrote about him a few weeks ago in my
email.
Zoila and Joel came to church
again. Two weeks in a row now for both of them! We haven't been able to teach
Zoila all week though because she is now working 2 jobs and is never
home.
We're also teaching the Avila family
that is super interested, but aren't going to come to church until their in
laws leave to go back to Mexico at the end of December because their in laws
aren't too hyped about them becoming Mormon.
I'm super excited for Christmas
and I love the new church Christmas initiative video and I'm showing it to
everyone. #iluminaelmundo
Love,
Hermana Gubler
