Guess who got bitten by a dog?!

Not me, don´t fret hahahaha but I now figured out the reason why people never walk on the sidewalk. It´s because of the dogs! There´s an Elder in my Zone who got bitten by un perro. The dog reached out and bit his elbow. Isn't that crazy?! So yeah, lesson learned!

Last week has been super crazy. We changed apartments because the dealing with the old one expires. It´s okay though because we moved to a better one. A super brand new one. But that also means that the gas wasn't on yet. Hooray for cold showers! hahaha But all is well in Cabildo.
It was a bit depressing for the past few days because it has been raining a lot and it was cold. Okay but this week has been great, actually. There´s this woman who randomly called us and asked if we can teach her the gospel. Like whuuuuut?! We didn't find her, she found us. Seriously though, Heavenly Father already prepared the people that we´re going to teach. Its so awesome!

This week I´m working on Patience and Humility for my Christ like attribute. Let me tell you, I am so humbled to be serving the people of Cabildo. Their lifestyle is so simple and relaxing. Not like the fast-paced life in the States. They also don't have much but they´re so happy on what they have. It´s such a humbling experience to see that we don't need so many things to make us happy. I love this place. I´m learning so much day by day.

Also for patience, I have been struggling a lot with speaking and understanding Castellano but all is well. President Uchtdorf said in his talk Continue in Patience: Often the deep valleys of our present will be understood only by looking back on them from the mountains of our future experience, Often we cant see the Lord´s hand in our lives until long after trials have passed. Often the most difficult times of our lives are essential building blocks that form the foundation of our character and pave the way to future opportunity, understanding, and happiness.
Things are a little hard but that only means that I´m learning and paving my way to become a better me!

I love each and everyone of you!

Love,
Hermana Garcia
