Hola
family,
This
week was awesome! A lot of stuff happened. Margarito got baptized on Saturday
night. It was really cool and he was super happy. For a special musical number
at the baptism, I played guitar while Hermana Mena and a couple elders sang
"Cuando me bautice." The video is on my Facebook if you want to see
it. Margarito got confirmed in Sunday and will get the preisthood next Sunday
and then the following Tuesday, we are going to go to the temple with him to do
baptisms.
Also,
we were teaching this lady named Adriana who has been meeting with missionaries
since 2009 and never come to church. She's super cool and understands the
gospel perfectly, she has just always said that she'll go to church when she
feels like it and won't make any promises. On Friday, we had a super spiritual
lesson with her and at the end she said (in Spanish) "I haven't made any
promises to missionaries for years, but today I feel it. I will be
at church on Sunday." And she came!!! And said she'd be there next
week.
On
Monday night, we did a Family Home Evening in our ward mission leaders house
and it was super fun. Our ward mission leader's nonmember sister, niece and,
nephew who just came from Mexico were there and our investigators, Angelo and
Valeria who really want an eternal family. We taught the restoration and then
played pictionary and ate food. It was really good for Angelo and Valeria to
make friends and feel comfortable in the ward. We had 20 member present lessons
this week which is awesome.
Also,
I did back to back exchanges on Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday, Hermana
Mena went to Mesa while Hermana Luthy came into my area and on Thursday,
Hermana Mena went to Tempe and Hermana Pierce came to Phoenix. It was pretty
stressful, but I only have 2 more exchanges to go on for the rest of the
transfer which ends August 3.
On
Sunday night was the first New Convert Devotional with President Christensen.
It was super cool. This guy spoke who read half of the Book of Mormon in one
day and then got baptized a couple weeks later! It was the last time I got to
see my trainer, Hermana Sedgwick, before she goes home in a couple weeks.
I
hit my year mark this week. For my birthday tomorrow, Yozelyn, a member from
Aguila ward who opened her mission call on Sunday going to Torreon Mexico is
taking Hermana Mena and I out to eat. On Saturday, a member bought me a piñata
and we ate carne asada quesadillas.
Hope
you have a great week!
Love,
Hermana
