First of all I'd just like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RUDY'S!!!!! We had an Hermana Party will all the Spanish speaking sisters the lunch before we had transfer meeting and I made the meat and they all LOVED it!!! I was so much fun and sooooo delicious!! I also brought it to Emilia's house and her and her family loved it too!!!!!! Pedro (her husband) said it was way better than the "Texas BBQ" place here by us. Every time I pass that place I say "YOU SIT ON A THRONE OF LIES!" So from that I think you can infer about how grateful I was to have real life Rudy's!!!! So thank you soooooooooo much!!!!!!
First Week Training: Well I'm a mom!(what missionaries call trainers) It's been super crazy but also super fun!! Right after transfer meeting and Hermana Warner and I were getting all her stuff I think like 8 people asked me "Wait...didn't you just get here?!?!?!" hahaha so that was probably really comforting for Hermana Warner!! But we're having lots of fun and I'm gaining more confidence and it's great!!!!!
YASMIN IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!! The night after transfer meetings we went over and asked Yasmin to be baptized and she said yes!!! I asked her about 2 Aug. and she was like sure!!! Then Emilia asked if we could do the 1 Aug. so that it'd be easier for them to get food and stuff (I chuckled a little at that, these people really like to party for every occasion) and I asked Yasmin if that was ok and she said yes!!!! AHHHH I AM SO EXCITED!!! I definitely cried and Emilia definitely cried. It was amazing!!!! I'm sure Hermana Warner was like uhhh wow this is an eventful first visit!!!!!! BUT REALLY Im so so so so happy for her!!!! YAYAYAY
DINA CAME TO CHURCH!!!!
Our 70ish year old investigator came to church and it was so amazing because she's been super sick and kinda house-ridden so that was really awesome!!! TENDER MERCIES!!!!!!
Today we went and hiked in Laguna Beach by Emerald Bay up this HUGE hill!!! At one point I felt like I was walking completely vertical!!! It was crazy!! But the view was so beautiful and when we all got up all of the sisters (there were 10 of us) shared our favorite scriptures and the spirit was so strong. I shared 3 Nephi 22:10. It was perfect because we were surrounded by God's creation for us and in this scripture it talks about the mountains and hills departing, but even if that happened, the kindness that God gives of cannot leave. Neither can His mercy. It doesn't matter who we are or what happens in our lives, He loves us, perfectly and individually. It's just our decision to do the things that allow us to more fully feel His love.
