I'm
so glad to hear that things are going well! I love always reading your
letters and reading about everything that is going on! So glad to hear
that work is going well too! I can't wait to hear all about ava's
competition! That sounds like so much fun! i bet it will be great! I know you are doing so great in your new job! And i'm so happy that your boss is allowing you to do so much!
Sorry! I'll have pictures of st. patty's day stuff next week! I'm going to wear your scarf that you sent me tomorrow! i'm also going to take the stuff to correlation and get the elders in the pictures to! it's going to be so much fun! (I sent her a package with silly St. Patrick's Day things to wear.)
Monday
we just visited a couple families and we got back in with an
investigator and it was really fun. We shared a scriptures and tried
helping her see the importance of reading the book of mormon. They have
been investigatings for quite some time now and really haven't been
progressing in any way. One day it will be their time and they will be
more open to listening.
on Tuesday All of our appointments worked out which was really great! The Rodriguez bap date is now for sure on April 11th!
it's so far away but it's going to be so good! We are all really
excited to have them finally be baptized! We finally taught part of the
restoration to 2 of our investigators! We've been trying for so long to
teach them the restoration and we got through the first two principles
with one of them and we got all the way through the apostasy with the
other one! It was so great!
Nothing much happened wednesday.
We went to a less actives for dinner and she ended up giving us so much
food! Don't think we'll have to go shopping for food for a little bit.
Thursday
we taught english class and we taught prayer for the 1 person who
showed up. It was so great! I love teaching these people english! We
then met with another less active and he told us that he was ready to
start coming out with us to lessons and so we set up a day for him to
come out with us. We had a really good lesson with him.
Friday
we had district meeting that was really fun. Rupp and I got to help
teach a principle. I then went with hermana Carbajal on an exchange and
every single one of our appointments canceled so we just improvised. It
was really fun though!
Saturday
Carbajal and I taught a lesson in the morning, it was for a little girl
and so we did it in english, and afterwards carbajal told me how much I
have improved with my teaching and that she is really proud of me.
later we had a trio ward party at a park. We had hispanic style bbq
meaning rice and tortialls and some meat. All of us missionaries got
together and played volleyball in a court that was filled with water. We
found a baby turtle. We also played tug a war with the people from the
wards and we also played frisbee with some of the elders. It was a lot
of fun.
Sunday
was really stressful as a lot of sundays are. A member got mad at us
and another member tried to take the place of our ward mission leader
but in the end both the members apologized to us after church. We then
tried calling every member of our ward to give our investigator a ride
to the temple tours and no one was answering or everyone was busy. In
the end we convinced her son to come with us so he drove them. when we
got there, there was supposed to be one more spanish tour but for some
reason they didn't do it, so hermana Carbajal gave us a personal tour
with our investigators. President stopped us and said that he's been
hearing a lot of good things happing in our ward and that he is proud of
us. The tour was really good and we think our investigators liked it a
lot.
Tell me about sometime when you felt the spirit this week.
We
had brought a member with us to a lesson but then that lesson cancelled
and so we decided to try an investigator that we haven't seen in a long
time. They ended up being home and we had a really good lesson. We
invited them to church and to the temple tours, they said they would
come and that they really wanted to but...in the end they didn't. But it
was still a really good lesson and we felt a difference in that lesson
compared to the other ones.
Best
moment? finally getting our investigators to the temple. When we were
driving once we saw the angel moroni over the trees at the same time
rupp and i both let out a sigh. We had finally made it and got our
investigators to the temple. We both just felt so relieved as we walked
around the temple. the temple is so pretty!
Random
moment? We were teaching one of our investigators the restoration and
we asked him what he knew that jesus christ did and he said "well he
built his church and did miracles." he paused and then said "and then i
think he constructed a hospital." it was really funny.
Have you started bonding with the families in Tomball? Yeah I've bonded with a few familys :) they are all really great!
Is
the man who gave you the sweaters the one whose wife died? yeah, he is
so cute and sweet. We visit him about once or twice a week and he has
this box filled with papers it's his treasure box and each week he gives
us papers to make copies of. Sometimes we just go over and i'll play
the piano and we will sing hymns. I love going over to visit him.
Wow 8 weeks! That's crazy! That's going to come up so fast! (Until Mother's Day when we'll get to skype.)
I love being a missionary!
Just a video for you
all to watch. We are all Children of God. He is our father and he loves
us more than we could ever imagine. He is always there for us. Even
though sometimes it may feel like he isn't he always is right there. We
are his children and he wants us to be happy. We just need to pray and
do the right things and we will be able to feel his love and his presence in our lives. He is the way to happiness and to peace. There
is no greater joy that we can feel then when we feel the joy of coming
closer to our heavenly father.
Just
think about that, how does it make you feel that God, the creator of
all things is YOUR father. He created you! He took time to create every
part of you. He loves you so much, more than you can ever imagine. How
does that make you feel?
I love being a missionary!
