Hello!!! Umm this week was crazy and it is about to get even more crazy!
1. On Monday we had a "sisters" hike with our mission presidents wife and all the sisters. We went to this canyon in Monrovia which is really close to Pasadena. We were all told it was really flat... it wasn't flat. BUT it was fun!! There was a baby waterfall at the end of it. not so much worth it but oh well!
2. We went to play with a bunch of other missionaries. While we were there I was talking to a few different missionaries and I was thinking about how these friends will forever be my friends. We are all going through something and are learning so much being missionaries. it brings me comfort to know I'm not the only one.
3. I got to meet with president this week and it was AMAZING! I just had somethings I needed to talk to him about. He just kept saying "Be candid with me. Tell me how it is." So I did ahhaha I really felt SO much better after I was able to talk to him. He gave me a wonderful blessing. I LOVE the priesthood. I think every time I receive a blessing, all the wonderful feelings of true, peace and love come back to me from past times. SUCH a great feeling.
4. We went to a members for dinner... She had a non member there and we were able to have a lesson on the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him. We even set up a return appointment for the next Monday. We goes currently to a Christian church. The member is a running partner and he is also a math tutor to her daughter. I hope tonight goes well!
5. I went on exchanges to Diamond Bar this week with Sister Mello. She is so sweet. The area was super slow but she wants to do more and is willing to try new things. The area needs something new.
6. I went to the Zone Leader council and wow! President said there was going to be a LOT of changes in leadership this transfer. A lot of the training was also on change and how its okay to change and how we need to focus on the doctrine of Christ. It was REALLY good!
7. When we met with the Vasquez this week... WHOA! We had a lesson on the priesthood and he FINALLY really understood the importance of it and how much he wants to baptize his sons. He even told us what things he was really insecure about with coming back to church. I'm really sad to be leaving him.
8. Moises had a GRETA lesson on the plan of Salvation and a tour of the chapel. He is coming along and FINALLY came to church! We had been trying to get him there for forever now and he finally came! He was just starting to open up to me too. But he is in good hands.
9. Can you tell I'm leaving Pasadena? We got a transfer call and I will now be in the Monrovia ward... just down the road from here. Another kicker is ready?! I'm training again. The only sister coming in tomorrow for English work is Sister Butler from American Fork, Utah. We went over today to clean the apartment that we are going to be living in from the elders... I shouldn't be surprised but DANG! It was NASTY!! This shall be interesting in either of us knowing no one and getting to work. But I'm excited!
LOVE YOU ALL!!
