Puertezuelo :)

  We made it! to Puertezuelo:) time has flewn by so quickly and we only have one more week left here! :( it has been a really upbuilding past couple of weeks! I guess i will start of by telling you where we're staying. Andrea kindly invited Jenesia and I to stay with her until she moves out of the house. She learned the truth in Mexico and went to the English congregation...but for the past couple of years she's been able to help here in Puertezuelo. So in the house it's Andrea, me, Jenesia and Barbara. Barbara just finished school and decided to move here to help the congregation. It's her first time moving from home (which is about 3 hours away)... Four girls in one house!! :D It has been a blast, i couldn't have asked for better room mates!!! (even if they don't always like my music;)
   We planned it out so that we rotate nights cooking, so we all have been getting practice. :D Since there aren't really any big grocery stores around here we go to Chian (the town close by that has seriously just about everything...even a blockbuster:D )  and do one big shopping spree for 2 weeks to cut down on having to travel there a lot. From the pictures you can see we LOVE nutella and peanut butter...and chocolate. hehe. they say I'm bad association for bringing all the unhealthy stuff... but its irresistable, so they love it anyway;)
   The congregation here has 13 publishers. (now including Andrea's studies, Pamela and Veronica:)  There are fewer publishers but at the meetings there is always at least 25. Everyone's so loving, its so easy to feel at home right away! :)
   We have been out in service almost every day since we've been here. its nice to have days off where we can relax and exercise, do laundry, clean.... and make cookies and watch movies :D.... As for laundry, we don't have any washing machines so we wash our clothes in the sink and hang them out to dry:) Anyway, back to service! Around the town everyone is super nice and willing to listen. A couple of days we got to go to the rurals and it was such a neat experience. Pamela and Andrea were able to talk to one lady that liked so much what she was learning and told them not to take their time in coming back! :) Jenesia and I were able to have a conversation with a man who was very zealous for the Bible and we were able to share some of what we've learned with him, so that was really encouraging too! :)
  Anyway, i'm sure the pictures will tell the rest. Jenesia is going home early so i haven't completely decided where i'll be the rest of my time here.. but i'll keep you posted. I miss everyone! hope everything is going well! much love,
Corinne :)
