Buenas tardes!!!!!
I'm soooo sorry I've been so bad about writing a group email!! They've really cracked down on emailing time but I've decided I'm going to just work my little fingers and type super fast!! These group emails might be super short and just consist of pictures but I know they're important, so I can do it!!!
Well I'm now in the San Juan ward and our area consists of San Clemente, Dana Point, and San Juan Capistrano! We're covering the whole ward!!! So crazy!!! I love it down here though!!! I'm sending a picture of the view from our apartment!!! I'm roommates with my roommate I was with in the beginning of my mission, Sister Weston, and her and I get up early every morning and run all the way down Del Mar and to the end of the pier here! (all my native Californians probably have a visual of how incredibly far that is and it is definitely really far and uphill on the way back and I nearly die every time but I feel good about it! hahaha)
We have lots of people to teach! About 17ish investigators but only a couple have been responding lately and I've only met a couple since I've been here. But we're working super super hard to get in with them!! The ward works a little differently down here too and the relationships between ward members and us missionaries is something Hna Warner and I have been working on and have set lots of goals for. We chose 3 members last week that we wanted to focus on growing a relationship with (the bishop, the relief society pres, and the young womens pres) and we got dinner with the first two and had really really great conversations with both of them (who happen to be in-laws hahaha) and we've really seen how the Lord has provided us with the opportunity to strengthen the member-missionary work down here!!!
Hna Warner (my companion, I was companions with her when she was a greenie, i.e. I was her trainer but she didn't really even need training so not really! hahaha) has been super sick. I went on an sister training leader exchange out of the area on Saturday and I got a text from my poor companion saying she was going to go to the doctor because she's been coughing and been super exsausted and miserable. So she went and found out she had a sinus infection that was turning into bronchitis! " Aint nobody got time fo that!" haha But on a serious note, she had to stay home all Sunday so I got lots and lots of study time! I got to work on the Book of Mormon I'm marking up for the nephews! I also realized that Enos is my Book of Mormon hero!!! HE'S SOOOO AMAZING!!! So anyways we stayed home but the elders kindly gave hna Warner a blessing and then later brought us food from this member picnic thing we couldn't go to! It was amazing because we saw miracles that came out of her being sick, we texted several members and in conversation they found out she was sick and we could totally feel the love they had for us and ALSO we had an investigator who went to the regional conference even though we weren't there!!! So although it was hard, the Lord was still working miracles in our lives!
Well my brain is super sporadic right now and I'm running out of time but next week's will be more concise!
Happy birthday to my nephew Trey!!!!!!!!!! He's such an amazing boy!!! Which has a lot to do with the amazing mom and dad and grandparents he has!!! It's weird that he's growing up so fast but it's exciting at the same time!!!!!
Well I love you all soooo much!!!! I hope you have an amazing week!!!!
