Permiso

Hey!!!!

 

I seriously love being a missionary.

 

This week at church, Isidora came all by herself and she brought her daughter and her 3 nietos. After church the members were SO GREAT. They were all talking to them, inviting them to the Relief Society activity, and the Young Women were all holding the baby... haha, YW are the same in the United States and Argentina. I was so proud.

 

Vicenta said the closing prayer this week in one of our lessons! She always has a ton of verguenza to do it and she has a hard time remembering how to do it.We explained to her a bunch of times and helped her remember and when she finally agreed to say it and did it perfectly I was seriously SO HAPPY. The things we get excited about.

 

There´s this word in Spanish. "Permiso." It means permission. Basically if you say permiso before you do something you can do whatever you want. I wish I could explain this concept to you a little better because it´s hilarious. It´s like inviting yourself to do something. For example, if you are standing at a fence and talking to someone and you want to open the door, you just say permiso and walk in without asking.

 

We have this adorable lady in our ward that reminds me of Grandma Peterson and whenever we eat at her house she always serves us up a ton of food. Then when we are almost done with our plate she will say, "Do you want more?" And before we can say anything she says, "Permiso" and puts a ton more food on our plate.

 

Love you guys so much!!!!
