Hola,
This week was pretty average. Nothing too exciting to
tell about. Last night was the monthly mission presidents devotional in Mesa.
Usually it's in Tempe at the ASU Institute building, but this month it was at
the Mesa Community College institute building. Two recent converts spoke. One
named Javier who was really cool and had a super awesome conversion story. The
other was a chief from an Indian reservation in Yuma. He skyped in along with a
congregation watching from Yuma.
Hermana Sedgwick sang a solo of "Be Still My
Soul" at the devotional and it was so good! She has a really pretty voice.
Also yesterday was stake conference. It was a broadcast
from Salt Lake to all the stakes in AZ, NM, TX, OK, and NV. Elders Robbins,
Corbridge, and Oaks spoke along with sister Linda Reeves. One of our
investigators, Susi (on date for Dec. 5) came with her 3 kids and said she
liked it.
Monday was Hermana Sedgwick's birthday, so for pday
[preparation day], we went to a park and had cake and played games. We had a
water balloon fight and played kickball. I wrote Hermana Sedgwick a song on the
guitar for her birthday. It was super cheesy and not that good, but she said
she loved it.
It's starting to get "cold" and Hermana
Sedgwick and I are always freezing. It's like 75 degrees everyday, but we got
so used to the heat, that now we're cold.
We had a super cool lesson this week with Myrna, who's on
date for Nov. 28. She said she used to chase missionaries off of her property
or not open the door to them, but she said the day we came, something told her
to let us in. She said that now that she's been meeting with us, her life has
completely changed and her attitude and outlook on life has changed. It was a
cool testimony for me to know that when someone rejects us, maybe someday
they'll be another set of missionaries like for Myrna.
Sorry, not a ton of time to write today. But I love
missionary life and I'm having a great time doing the Lord's work.
Love,
Hermana Gubler
