4th of July Festivities!:
I was on an exchange with my old companion Hermana Duncan and it was super fun to be back with her! We both had lots of red,white,and blue on! At around 11 we went and played soccer with a bunch of people in the ward and it was soooo fun!!!! Everyone was crazy good so I just ran around and tried to pretend like I knew what I was doing!! hahaha My one year of 7th grade soccer really came in handy! haha Then after that Hermana Duncan and I went to lunch and she treated me to Wendy's (she had a gift card haha)! It was weird cause we really very rarely eat out so it felt weird being in a fast food restaurant! Then after that we got a call from our Elders saying that their recent convert wanted us to have dinner with her because she apparently really likes us and said that she had been saving up money to feed all of us. So we decided we better go! The funny part is that it was about 2 hours after we had lunch, so I was trying to make it look like I was eating a lot because I was already full! hahaha I felt like I was going to explode! But she is super super super sweet and I wanted to show that I was grateful that she would give us food when they don't really have a whole lot to give. She told me that I was the funniest Hermana! hahaha I really like her and her family a lot! They're really amazing!
After that we had whats called a "window" where we pray for a specific time and place to go talk to people. So we went to our window and talked to one guy that was kinda sketchy with us so we called the Elders to talk to come talk to him. He was just super super sad and has had a lot of things happen to him but also was a little drunk and sketchy when talking to us so we decided that the Elders better help him! hahaha it was a fun experience! Essentially our Elders are awesome and came to our rescue!
Then we went to teach a less active who I love! We went to Emilia's house after that (she's the mom of our investigator Yasmin, shes a member but is less active but we are really really really close to her and she's like family) so it was fun to spend that time with her on the 4th! What made it super fun was that Hermana Williams met us there after her exchange was over so it was me, Hermana Duncan, and Hermana Williams reunited again!!! So that was super fun! Then on our way home we stopped at the Stake Center and watched the fireworks from there with our house-mates and one of their recent converts!! It was so amazing because it's kind of on a hill so we could see for a really long time and kinda could tell were they were going off in San Clemente! So amazing!
In other news:
So tomorrow is transfers, which means lots of changes. On Thursday I found out that....I'M GOING TO BE TRAINING A NEW HERMANA!!!!! I'm so freaked out but so excited at the same time!! I'm just a baby in the mission so it's kinda crazy! But really despite all my fears about not being perfect in the language yet or not knowing the area perfectly, I know that with the help of the Lord I'll be able to do the things He needs me to do! I'm so excited to meet my new companion and get to know and love her!!! It's going to be so fun!!!!!! and scary...BUT FUN!!!!! So please if you could be praying for me to be able to be the best trainer I can and for my companion to be able to handle my craziness! hahaha
Yasmin:
So Yasmin is our investigator who is the daughter of Emilia (who is baptized) and on the 4th Emilia told us that she said SHE WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I love all of you so much and I'm so thankful for all the support you all give me and for your prayers and just everything you all do for me!!! I hope you all have an amazing week!!!
