Here are the happenings for the week!!
1. We went to the Rose bowl and had a BBQ and playing football. I was naturally the only girl playing hahahahaa It was nice to get out and play with other missionaries.
2. Alisa Ence... my trainer in the mission got ENGAGED this week!! She is SUPER happy! Love her
3. We got to teach a lesson with Beverly. She is less active but LOVE us coming over! We were just finishing up talking about Heavenly Father and His love for us, importance of families and prophets when one of her neighbors comes over... starts trying to bash with us and tell us we worship Joseph Smith and all this other stuff. Wow. We just invited her to check out Mormon.org :]
4. Sharon is now 57 days NO SMOKING!! She is happy but said it is hard for her. She is doing great! We discussed the family proclamation. She had never read it before. She is doing great!
5. Lydia and her two children who are investigators are doing good. We taught faith, repentance, baptism. Anabelle and Jacob accepted the invitation to be baptized but Lydia said she isn't ready yet. We talked about it a bit but it will happen.
6. Another investigator Marilyn is okay. She has a problem with Joseph Smith but the first time she got the Book of Mormon and read it she knew it was true. She had a stroke about a year ago and is still recovering it. So she doesn't want to meet with us every week.
7. Luis is a recent convert who has a mom who is a recently active member. We taught them about tithing and it was great! Laura, his mom said the first thing she did when she got her paycheck was went to the bank and took out her 10 percent. She wants and feels like she needs to go the temple. She does. Luis is really good about making his mom go to church he always says, "Even if you break your leg. No your whole body. We are going to church!"
8. Alice is doing good. She is reading her Book of Mormon and wants to understand. She even has been to Church the past two weeks. She needs to commit.
9. Orilious is doing awesome! Besides the fact that he isn't sure about doing to church. But he wants to come to our study class on Tuesday. He watched the Restoration DVD and he said, "I feel like I know he is a true prophet" He is doing good.
10. We were with a part member family and one of their children came up to me and said, "Candy" I was like what? "You smell like candy" ahhahha It was so funny! We went over another time and he told me I smelled like Bubble Gum :]
11. Mom... you would be so PROUD! I have had Salmon 4 TIMES in Pasadena and I have LOVED it each time! :]
12. Well now to the subject heading... we got a transfer call on Saturday night. I will be staying in Pasadena BUT I get a new companion. I don't know her... no one does. She gets here tomorrow fresh from the MTC. Yep. I'm training. I'm nervous. BUT it will be great! All I know about her is that she is from Mexico, Spanish is her native language and her name is Sister Gomez. Shall be fun!! :]
13. Favorite scripture this week... 2 Nephi 25:26 Yes everyone knows this Scripture BUT being on a mission I didn't think I would have to explain that to people so much. We are the Church of JESUS CHRIST. But lots of people but understand that. This scripture is true. We are centered around Christ. And always will be. LOVE IT!!
Love you all!!
