How are you ? It sounds like yalls
week was really fun but also busy ! I am sad to hear that the Utes lost
:( but I am excited for Sarah
and Jordan, so exciting for their cute baby girl. Can you believe this
week is Halloween. Sad to be missing some delicious scones and chicken
noodles soup, but I guess I will just have to wait til next year!
This week was a great week but I am
semi having a hard time remembering everything that happened. But I
will do my best to inform y'all !!
So first off great news ! Wednesday night we were driving home and I got a call from the Hermanas in Columbia. I
am not sure if you remember me talking about our investigator Angie or
not when I was serving in Columbia, but she is awesome. She has such a
strong testimony of the gospel and of the priesthood but wasn't able to
get baptized because she wasn't married to her husband , and he was a
little anti getting married as well, so it was just hard, but Angie
still came to church, and she just loved it. Well the Hermanas in
Columbia have been working really hard with them for like the past year
and they called to tell me that they were getting married Saturday and
Angie was getting baptized Sunday!! I was sooooo excited !! My heart
just filled with joy :) I am amazed at how the lord truly does bless and
love his children. So it was awesome I got to skype into her baptism
yesterday and talk with her. I am so happy and feel so blessed that I
was able to know Angie and now, I am so happy that she was able to get
baptized. It was also really cool because we were able watch the baptism
with our investigator Lupe at our branch presidents house. So that was
awesome.
Friday
night we also had a branch activity and it was so much fun ! A ton of
members, less actives, and investigators came ! We had a ton of games
for the kids, candy, and of course, delicious food. I feel bad for being
so grossed out that time josh put mayo and hot sauce on his corn on the
cob, because it is seriously delicious !!! I love it. As well as some
chicharrones with valentina sauce, delicious. What was awesome was that
our investigator Ozmara came too, that was a miracle and she brought her
two kids, Isabella and Joel. It was a blast :) I love this little
ramita here :)
This week was kind of a weird week.
We did a lot of finding and saw a lot of less active members. So that's
always good :) we did have one super weird day finding. We were driving
and we got lost and so we just decided to park and do some tracking. So
like literally every house we knocked we met someone really
interesting. First we met this very very flamboyant man and it was just
weird, then we knocked into this atheist family , then a lesbian couple,
and then a really crazy / passionate church of Christ lady. It was one
of the most interesting neighborhoods I have ever knocked before.
Oh I need to tell you about what
happened last night. So it was awesome because we had a great lesson
with Aida and Carmen and we got home at 9, and then we start our nightly
planning and we pull out our phone to text some members , and guess
what ? Yup.... I left our phone at Aida's and she lives like super far
away, like 25 minutes.... We thought we would just go today to get the
phone so that we wouldn't have to call president since we would get back
after 9:30, but then we realized that it was Sunday night
and we needed to call and give our numbers and we thought that maybe
people would get freaked out of concerned or something if we didn't
answer our phone. So then we left and got to Aida's and luckily they
were all still awake, so that was good. We got the phone and came home.
It was a crazy night. I have problems leaving our stuff places. This
last week i also left our keys at either our investigators house, or
members house and by the time we got to the car we had to go back in and
get them. My mind is all over the place!
I can't really remember much of
what happened the rest of this week, but it was a good week ! Our
investigators are still doing good! Thanks for praying for Mario he is
getting there step by step. November is his month, I know it :)
I hope y'all have a very happy
Halloween ! I know I will because our friend Santos from our English
class is getting baptized ! So that's awesome and president said we can
go ! But we also have to be in at 6 on Halloween.... Who knows what we
will do... But it should be fun :) thanks for all y'all do for me. I
hope you have a great week ! I love y'all !
XO
Hermana Brown :)
