How
was everyone's new year?? I hope it was good! :) mine was very
different but fun! We had to be in at 6 pm on Wednesday night but
president approved the movies Ephraims Courage and 17 miracles to watch
that night so we borrowed them from a member. It was great! We did a
little New Years toast around 8:30 ;) haha don't worry I made sure we
bought some sparking cider too! Haha BUT fun fact. As we were watching
the movies I started thinking about our family history and I pulled out
the family history stuff mom put together for me. WELL. We are related
to Ephraim Hanks!! He married Harriet Decker Little? Haha how cool is
that?? So that's a fun history fact :) haha then on Thursday we got to
sleep until 8! We had studies from 9-11 and then we got together with
all the sisters in the zone at the church! We were at the church from
12-6! It was pretty fun we watched FROZEN! Sorry to say E still hasn't
seen it... But a ton of the sisters in my zone hadn't seen it either.
Haha so that was fun. We hung out and talked and watched how to train
your dragon 2 And that was just awful then we watched frozen again. Haha
it was great! We came home and planned for Friday and then hung out and
went to bed early. It was SUCH a weird day. Literally didn't do
anything. But New Years was of course still a fun time :)
I
feel like so much has happened this last week but I just can't remember
any of it.. Weird. It's crazy how fast everything is going by! We
hadn't seen Felipe ALL week. We were heart broken. We stopped by his
place on Saturday night and he just wasn't himself... I think he had
been drinking. I was even more heartbroken. What's worse, he didn't come
to church Sunday either :( but that's okay! He will get there. I know
it!
A
few weeks ago we met this guy and then totally forgot to remember to go
visit him again (worst missionaries ever...) well, we saw him at
Walmart and he remembered us and asked when we're gonna come by again.
Well we stopped by last Sunday but couldn't go in because his wife was
at work. We made a plan to come Saturday with some members. His name is
Sabas and he is so awesome!!! Just this way cool guy. We had a great
lesson with him about the restoration and the Book of Mormon. We had 2
members come, Dorian and Ashly (married) and Dorian just bore an amazing
testimony of the Book of Mormon! It was awesome. We can't wait to go
and visit him again!
We
have been teaching Angele's boyfriend this week and so far it's been
pretty great!! But it's hard because we aren't sure what he is trying to
do or what he wants out of the lessons... He read some of the Book of
Mormon but not much.
On
Monday we found this way awesome guy, Miguel and his 7 year old
daughter Maria at the laundry. They are awesome!! We made an appointment
Wednesday night but then had to cancel cuz we had to be in at 6... BUT
we have a new appointment for this Wednesday. We are pretty excited. He
is such a nice guy and his daughter is just beautiful! We feel pretty
hopeful for them!
Sorry
this week sounds kind of lame but it really was great! And we did a ton
too! I am really starting to love this area more and more and to love
the people even more! Yesterday I fasted to have the gift of discernment
and interpretation of tongues. I'm not saying am fluent or understand
all Spanish, but as i sat in Sunday school I was able to understand
everything being taught. How amazing is that? Fast and prayer really
truly work :) I love bein out here and serving! Congrats to cute Lynn
too! Give her a big hug for me. Love you all so much! Have a good
week!!
