Uruguayans are so nice

 Hey yall! 

This week we were so blessed! The people in Uruguay are literally the nicest people. They might not want to hear our message or come to church, but they are willing to give us whatever they have.

Tuesday was my birthday and while we were contacting people in the streets, I decided to tell people it was my birthday to help start conversation. We started talking to these ladies (a mom and daughter) and found out they had been taught by the missionaries a couple years ago. After a couple minutes, they invited us to come back on Thursday and told us they would make milanesas and a dulce de leche dessert to celebrate my birthday! We went back on Thursday, taught a lesson and feasted. 

Also, on Tuesday we walked past a couple of members' houses and they were outside drinking mate. They invited us to stop and gave us food and drinks for my birthday! 

Saturday night we were at the store and we saw a man that we met knocking doors with his girlfriend. We talked to them for a minute and they asked if we had hats to protect us from the sun. (I get this question like 5 times a day...everyone here is so worried about my skin because I am "so white") Later that night we were in our house and got a phone call...they called us and told us they were at our house with a gift. They brought me a hat hahaha! We have no clue how they know where we live...

On Sunday we went to visit a house we had knocked that said we could come back. They were super nice but are really involved in their church. They gave us Bibles and we gave them a Book of Mormon! They also wanted to practice English, so that was fun!

Sorry this is long, but we have seen so many tender mercies this week! I love this quote my mom sent me:

"The most humbling statement we can say is I am nothing without God. And the most powerful statement we can say is with God I can do anything."

God has given us so many blessings, He is so good! 

Have a great week!
