I Had a Neat Week!


August 6, 2012

Hermana V and I decided that you shouldn't email or call and tell me about David's call, just send it to me on the recorder and she will record me listening to it so you can see my reaction. Or I guess I could read a letter too. Doesn't matter. :) But we decided that you guys probably would think it was funny to see my reaction. But I can record it either way. 

So this week was a neat one. We did A LOT.

The Crew-We have been meeting with two of the boys from the crew this week and their family. (Active parents, inactive sons) They are doing great and ALL the boys came to church yesterday. That has never happened while I have been here. The boys are 17, 19, and 22 or 23. It is super fun to go over there because the oldest has two kids and we play with them, then the two younger boys just feel like my little brothers. They are really funny. I invited their family up to Utah next summer or for Christmas. They are going to come. :) Hope you don't mind that I have turned our home into a hotel. I have also tried to convince EVERYONE with family in Utah to go up next Mothers Day so they can be up there for my Homecoming. Not that I am thinking about that, but I am trying to think of EVERY possible reason to see people from here in the next life. Attached much? Probably.

We also had a miracle yesterday! So the Z_____ family. They had twins two months ago and they brought them home from the hospital about a week ago. They are so cute! Anywho, they brought the babies to church yesterday because they were going to get blessed. I went to PEC so I missed the testimony meeting but I came back and asked them how it went and everything and they didn't do it! I didn't understand but just went with it then talked to A_____ after and he said that we needed to visit them that night because they didn't bless the babies because Da____ wants to do it and Di____ wants to get baptized because they are doing this as a family! WHAT! I love that family! Always so spontaneous. This is the third spontaneous baptism in their family! Hopefully she will be baptized on the 19th. (My last Sunday. Well, 99.9% sure it's my last Sunday) 

The Lady- She is SO COOL! You will meet her when you come down! She is already in 2 Nephi! She reads faster than I do! She is so on track for the 19th! She technically could get baptized today if she wanted. She is just that cool! Yesterday she even went to the Singles Ward AND the family ward! She loves the Gospel and thanks us every day for bringing it to her. She is even telling her whole family about it and has asked for extra copies of the Book of Mormon to give to family. Talk about Golden right? O man! I never understood the excitement when missionaries would get so excited about their investigators telling their family about the church but now I totally get it! Once you have the greatest gift from God, you will do anything to share it! How cool is that!

As far as activities, Sister V and I are heading up two in the ward. The other missionaries are involved too but they just kind of do what we tell them. We have another chalk night at the park on the 13th that we have invited the whole ward to so it should be HUGE and AWESOME! We invited President and Sister Trayner too. Just for fun. Then we have a free car wash on the 18th where we will give people church tours while the youth wash their cars. Should be exitoso!

Well, I love you all so much! We have a schedule today that is quite strict so we can get everything done we want to. We are off to a Mexican store to buy a tortilla press. I don't remember what it is called in Spanish but we have like 5 different families teaching us to make tortillas like natives. I'm going to be pro soon! Can't wait to see pictures of your trip and hear about Dave! Love you all!
