7/25/16 letter

Hola,
This week was good. Hermana Mena's visa came, so she leaves for Argentina on August 1. I'm super sad to see her go and it's been super fun to train her, but she'll be awesome in Argentina. I finally finished my last exchange for the transfer on Saturday with Hermana Standring. On Wednesday, we had our zone conference and we got to get to know President and Sister Christensen better. They're super cool.
My birthday was really fun. The sisters I live with got me balloons and made brownies and for dinner, a member took us to get pizza, wings, and pizzookies. On Tuesday, our whole zone was together and my zone leaders bought a cake. And on Wednesday, our ward mission leader got me a tres leches cake and like a billion tamales. Let's just say, I had a lot of sugar this week.

This week, we were finally able to find Ediberta, this lady who we met more than a month ago and accepted to be baptized and then literally disappeared. But when we saw her again, she was like "which day am I getting baptized again?" She hadn't forgotten anything and she actually has been to the Mesa temple visitors center years ago with a member she knew.

We also found a new family to teach. On Sunday evening, literally no one was home and we tried so many doors, but no one opened. We went to try this guy Santos that we had talked with on the street the other day and he wasn't super interested, but he said we could come back.
His daughter told us he wasn't home, so we went across the street to knock on the door of a potential and the daughter ran across the street and told us that her mom wanted to talk to us. We went back and had an awesome sit down lesson with them. They really want to get closer to God and they've been wanting to find a church here in Phoenix. The daughter is coming to mutual on Tuesday too.

This morning for pday, the sisters I live with and I went to South Mountain to go hiking and that was super fun. I'll send some pictures.
Sorry, there's not a whole lot of news this week. We had a lot of people cancel on us. Have a great week.
Love,

Hermana Gubler
