Hey good news everyone! Well actually I guess it's kind of
sad news too in some ways but it's good!! We got a call from President on my
birthday telling us that Hermana Vargas' trainee actually isn't coming till the
transfer, june 3rd. So we get to be in a trio the whole transfer!!! just
covering san mateo though. The elders are taking her area over. So we
have a lot of fun together. It's a little weird because like Hermana
Vargas can't go to some of our meetings that we have as Sister training
leaders.. So we have to drop her off with other missionaries. It's super
weird and feels like we are dropping off our child for the day or something. (:
haha. but I am so happy because I love my companions! So it's fun that we all
get to stay together.(:
My birthday went sooo well!! it was so fun!!! We had family
home evening with the ward that night and watched meet the Mormons. And
guess what! they came out at the end with a cake for me!! it was soo fun.
I have the best ward. I am so grateful for them.(: Mike was
the one who thought of it, and with the help of alex, freidell, and michelle,
they made it happen. ah. they are the best.
Then Wednesday I ate at the rodriguez, and they gave me
another cake!! and a balloon!! they are the best aswell. really, I feel so
loved. Our members really do take care of us. (:
We had two exchanges this week! The first I was with Sister
Wang. She is from Taiwan!! she came to our area. it was really fun
to learn Chinese from her. (: Caleb be ready, I will try and speak Chinese to
you on Skype. Then Sister Tu'ata'ane came to our area for another
exchange. She is from Tonga. I also had fun with her. (:
This week we met a guy from turkey who after introducing
ourselves yells "I LOVE MORMONS." hahahha it was so funny. but
he's also convinced it is too late to be one.. uh okay.
Also, while driving in SAN FRANCISCO, we saw a young man
pick up a piece of trash. Seriously it was such a miracle and made me so
happy. It also gave me hope for the people of SF. hahah.
The Baileys are leaving on Wednesday:( soo sad. I will
miss them so much!! the ward threw them a farewell party on Friday. It was
really nice.
The only other thing I have to write about is Jose! our new
investigator!!! do you remember when I told you about him ? how he randomly
came to church? well he came again last week, and then finally on Saturday we
were able to meet with him. HE IS SO PREPARED!!!! It's crazy!! We had an
awesome lesson with him and he basically told us that he has no doubts.
He said that hearing our testimonies alone he knows that this church is
true. But that he still wants to know for himself so he is going to read
and pray. He also was like "oh so this book of Mormon is actually
just evidence of Joseph Smith. If you were to tell me about Joseph Smith
alone I wouldn't believe you.. but the fact that this book is right here, it's
evidence of him and I know it's true. " um what? okay yeah.
that's how awesome he is. He came to church yesterday and told us that he
is finding the peace he is looking for in our church. he was like
"ya voy! quiero aprender mas!" which means like im coming I
want to learn! I want to progress in your church. it was sooo
awesome. I am so grateful for this miracle that has come into our lives.
haha it was really funny because in the lesson we had with
Jose, Angel and Sergio were there. And they were both realllly impressed
with how prepared Jose is. So Angel leans over and was like can I ask you
a question? How were you even found? Jose was like "oh I just came to
church one day" and Angle just starts DYING laughing. hahaha it was so
funny. But really, with things like this, I just laugh too because it's so
crazy that huge miracles like this happen. The Lord has a plan everyone.
That was my week!! It was super crazy, but so good. we
also met a bunch of awesome potentials this past week and have set appointments
with thm this week! We also have a set appointment with the Zabala's, who we
haven't seen in a while. So be ready. this week will be great. (:
Cuidense todos!! les quiero mucho!!(:
