Hermana
Baird, Hermana Edmunds, and I are all getting along great! Hermana
Edmunds has a talent for cracking jokes! She is always cracking us up!
She also can quote movies really well and every classic episode of
Spongebob.
One day
Hermana Edmunds was looking at my charm bracelet and she said, "Why does
this say velo?" & then Hermana Baird told her that it said love.
You had to be there but it was so funny! So things are great with them
and I love them both! We all have different strengths so we work well
together!
I have no
idea what will happen with transfers in two weeks. I really hope that I
get to stay here in Auburn! I wouldn't mind just finishing my mission
here!
We had Zone
Training this past week and I really liked being able to review the
Doctrine of Christ and what we need to do to keep the faith and endure
to the end.
One of the
questions the zone leaders asked us was about how we could apply
everything that we are learning here to situations we will have at home.
I answered the question by saying that we should continue to have faith
in and trust God and involve Him in everything. We should pray about
all of our decisions. For example, where to go to school, what to study,
who to marry. etc.
And
well, when I mentioned the example of who to marry it got a little
quiet in the room...I was like okay everyone calm down. It's not like
you all weren't thinking it! Haha! And besides it's true, you should
pray for guidance in all things.
This past week we
overbooked appointments so we went on our first split as a trio. Herman
Baird and Hermana Edmunds went together to do visits and then I went
with Hermana Zepeda and Hermano Moreno to teach people.
Sadly,
our appointments fell through but I was still able to teach a former
investigator with Hermana Zepeda and Hermano Moreno. Everything always
goes so much better when we have members with us! I'm so grateful for
their willingness to help us!
Saturday
there was a big Stake service project but we were separated into our
wards and branches. The Spanish Branch was in charge of cleaning up
trash along a trail by the railroad tracks. It was a lot of fun to work
together with the branch! Then that same night we had a fiesta!
It
was a lot of fun! It was a cultural party so there was food from
several different countries and it was all good! We had ten people who
aren't members of the church at the party so that was good! We were
hoping for more but ten is better than none. Everyone had a really good
time! It was a success!
Also
the biggest news is that Daniela is reading the Book of Mormon and she
has lots of questions for us! :) At the fiesta she asked me how long I
had left on my mission and after I answered her she made a comment about
hoping that I would be here for her baptism! :) I love Daniela so much!
She is basically already a member. She just needs a little more time to
grow and she will be ready to get baptized! :)
Love you all! Keep praying for help to overcome your shortcomings and I know you'll see the hand of God in your life!
