| | i've been getting to know my neighbor lately. it's been really fun since i've lived here for almost three years and she's only the second one who's invited me inside her home. her name is gloria and she speaks only spanish. so i've been dusting my spanish off. it gets easier everytime, but i've forgotten so much. we can talk about most things except faith b/c i have no idea how to say pretty much anything in that area. i do know that she is catholic. i'll have to get my butt in gear and look it up or ask for help. i was feeling a little bummed b/c i wasn't able to serve with OC missions. as a very wise sister reminds me, there is a season for everything. but b/c i wasn't able to do these things, God did give me an awesome opportunity to serve gloria by driving her to her husband's work. she had locked herself out of her house y tuve frijoles en el horno (and she had beans in the oven.) it was touch and go for a while b/c i misunderstood the cross streets. but praise God we eventually found it. that was the same day i was going to have her over for lunch. it was a little hectic, but worth it to build a relationship with her. yesterday, she had me over for lunch and it was the best mexican food i've ever had. she mad fresh salsa with roasted tomatoes. it was so good. aside from the good food, i want to really treasure my friendship with her. since i stopped working, i don't really have an opportunity to get to know unbelievers. i want to make the most of this opportunity. |
