FIESTA PARA LAS MADRES
Our ward had a party for Mothers Day on Saturday and it was sooooooo fun!!!!!!!!! The food was so good! There was horchatta (probably butchered that spelling but it's rice milk with cinnamon and I love it so much) and the Elders in our district helped make all the chicken and the horchatta and it was delicious!!! People got up and sang spanish songs about mothers and they were so awesome!! Then people got up and started dancing at the end and it was sooo fantastic to watch!! hahahah I love our ward so much!!!
MOTHERS DAY SKYPE!!!
Well yesterday was the best day ever because I got to skype my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved seeing their faces and getting to talk to them!!! It was especially amazing to talk to my mom on dia de las madres!! She is so amazing and it was so fun to get to see her and talk to her and tell her happy mothers day!!!! My family is the absolute best ever!!! I love them so much!!!
ABE LINCOLN
So if nobody has figured it out yet I LOVE ABE LINCOLN. So I had a little time to be on lds.org the other day while my companion needed to plan a Sister Training Leader thingy. So after reading a couple talks and things I thought "Hm I wonder what would happen if I searched Abraham Lincoln" So I did and I found a talk from the October 1976 (200 years after the year of our country's freedom I might add for extra coolness) titled "The Savor of Men" by Mark E Peterson. The whole talk isn't solely about Lincoln but he uses a lot of quotes from him to base his talk off of and it's sooooo cool!!! It's a very, very awesome talk (besides the fact it talks about my favorite US president)!!!!
MARGARITA IS GETTING BAPTIZED IN LESS THAN A WEEK
So our investigator Margarita is being baptized on Sunday!!! I could not be more happy for her!!! She has such a desire to be baptized and has a very strong testimony of the Gospel! Everything we teach her she is so receptive to and she is such a wonderful person! Ah I just love her so much!!!!
NEW INVESTIGATOR...BUT THERES A CATCH
So we have a new investigator and her name is Glenda and she has been taught by missionaries before and at the end of our first lesson which went really well, I asked her to be baptized(exciting for me) but she said that she wants to (very exciting for me!) but that she cant because she lives with her boyfriend and they aren't married and there's a rule about that because that doesn't follow church standards (not super exciting for me) hahaha BUT I'm still very very excited to visit with her because she has a desire for her and herself to follow what Heavenly Father wants her to do.
So basically like every week I love this area, I love everyone I teach, and I love all of you so much!!! Have a wonderful week!!!!
Love, Hermana Christensen
