I
am soooooo good! I am so happy. Seriously this past transfer has been
the best! I never thought I could be this happy but here I am! I
seriously am the happiest I have ever been probably in a long time!
Things are sooo good! This week was really good, sometimes my favorite
nights are the nights where after we plan I get into my pjs, wash my
face and just lay in bed and relax. We do so much every day and all the
time when I come home I'm so tired, it's a good tired though. It just
means that we are working really hard. :D
I
hit my 7 months today! WOOOOOOOOWWWWW it's so crazy!! Sometimes I feel
like I've been away from home for a long time but others it doesn't seem
that long ago, like when I think about what I was doing last year at
this time it feels like it was just yesterday that it was happening.
Life is so crazy.
Tell me about your week! How did it go? It
was pretty good, man I left last transfers planner at my
apartment...hope I can remember things that happened. Well we went to go
tracting by one of our other investigators house, Bryan and Marcos (the
ones who were leaving but something happened and now they aren't) and
they had family outside they weren't home but their family was drinking
and having a party with loud music outside. Some of them recognized us
and one of them came through the back of the house and crossed a field
to come talk with us, he was really nice but it was really funny. And
then Bryan's uncle came and started talking to us and you could tell that
he was getting drunk. We left pretty fast. But we died laughing
afterwards.
We had 6 investigators at church yesterday!! Church
was just really crazy we both took a 20 minute nap after church. bryan
came to church and his uncle came too, he said he is member but he
is really less active and I have a story about him but I'll share that
later haha but we went to their house early and brought them pancakes.
They thought that we were selling them and they were going to buy them
from us but we told them that it was a gift from us and they really
appreciated it. then we were almost late to church because we waited for
the member to come and pick them up and we got to church right before
it started and we were trying to find people to sit with them. His
uncle came to church and was super embarrassing he was talking during
all the prayers, even the sacrament prayers, and then they were wanting
to leave after sacrament because they were hungry but we didn't want to
ask a member to take the home and so we had to talk to them to get them
to stay for all three hours and they did, and then the teacher kind of
picked on one of them and it was super awkward and then after church
everyone was wanting to talk to us or ask us something and we were
needed in every direction and yeah I love church but it's really just
crazy. It ended once we were home and done planning that night I
got into my zebra onesie and ate cadbury eggs. haha. We also had
another investigator and her two kids come and then the family that is
supposed to be going to the louetta ward but loves our ward and wants to come to it instead
came today too. we are still waiting to hear if they will be able to
baptized into our ward. We
are crossing our fingers. They have said that if they can't move into
our ward they are going to move to a place that is in our ward
boundaries so they can come to our ward.
We
went tracting a lot this week and we met a lot of nice people and got a
return appointment with 2 people for later this week. There was one
person that I wish I would have asked if we could back but I didn't...oh
man. But when we knocked on one house we stood on the porch for about
30 minutes or more and got a life story from this guy. It was really
crazy. He just kept sharing story after story after story haha.
Anything crazy happening with transfers tomorrow? Both
the elders in Louetta are being transferred, and both the hermanas in
woodlands south (my old area) are both being transferred. I don't know
if president is doing the changes he talked about doing this transfer or
if it's going to be in later transfers or just a gradual process.
Do
you guys do much service (other than teaching) on your mission? we
teach English classes...but not really much else. We try but no one ever
lets us do anything for them and we don't' have a lot of time to find
other places to give service.
What was the funniest moment this week? when we met David (the drunk guy) that was really funny and crazy.
Tell me about the people you’re teaching and working with!
So
we have Elizabeth who we took to the temple with us. She is really
great. The only problem we have with her is that it's really hard to get
her to come to church. Her husband is only home on the weekend, he goes
on work trips every week until Friday and so Saturday and Sunday
are the times she and their son is with them and she doesn't want to
lose any time. We are hoping we can find something that will allow the
spirit to touch her heart.
Irma-she
has cancer and she has a cousin (or some family relative) in the English ward who comes with us each time. She works and so we haven't
been able to come to church either. We've taught the first two lessons
the restoration and the plan of salvation and we have done family
history. She is so good just hard to get to come to church.
Rosa- Rosa has a daughter and a son. They came to church this Sunday
and they are so good. They are the ones i have the most hope for, at
least the mom and the daughter. She is the one that fed us chicken
gizzards or how ever you spell it :P nasty. But she is so sweet and we
tried to see them on Wednesday
but only the daughter was home and she asked if we could come in and
teach her but we couldn't come inside so we just came back the next day
and found all three of them at home. It was really awesome. we were going to try to extend a bap invitation the other day but we ended up
teaching about church instead and so we just invited them to church.
We
have the Belasco family. They have been investigating for a while and
they came to church a few times before i got here, but they've been
going back to their old church still. We are going to try to take them
to the temple tour the next time we have one. They are really so good.
we just need to find something to push them.
We
have Bryan and Marcos who we can never get in a word because they talk
more than some of the women we meet. Bryan came to church on Sunday and that was really good. We hope he had a good time and will want to come back.
We
then have the Rodrigues family. The Louetta hermanas taught them all
the lessons but they don't like that ward and they have family in our ward and
so they love it so much. They are just waiting for the ok to be
baptized into our ward. The husband is a member and they are also
waiting to make sure that he can baptize him. But they are so sweet.
It's a mother and a daughter.
