Whats up? Whats up? Whats up?
Numero Uno: WE HAVE A HOME!!! We moved into our new apartment on Tuesday! It is soooooooooooo nice! Our old house had mold growing in it and it smelled weird all of the time. Our new apartment is more in the city, so there are more people to talk to, mold free and doesnt have a nasty odor! Whooooo! We are still unpacking so I haven’t taken any pictures of the house, I will send some next week :) And, btw, Hagerstownians are super creepy with their Halloween decorations - like super freaky creepy!!
Numero Dos: It was Hermano Valentin's birthday this week, Monday, and we were still living with them at the time. They invited us to go to get ice cream with them at this place called Nutters. IT WAS SO GOOD! I got pumpkin ice cream and have been dreaming about it ever since!!!!
Numero Tres: C. has to go back to El Salvador :( He is leaving this Wednesday. His daughter had a baby so he hasn’t been able to come to church for quite some time. When we visited with him this week he asked if we could help him ask his daughter for permission to go to church- he really wanted to go because it is going to be his last sunday. How cute is that!? So, he came to church yesterday and the branch was so sweet! We are going to miss him so dang much! WE are going to set up having the missionaries continue teaching him in El Salvador :) At church he came up and told HErmana Zindel and I that we will always have a special place in his heart!!!!
El Cuatro: C2 came to church!!! She works every other sunday, but on the Sundays that she has off, she ALWAYS comes with us! She offers to give us ride which is so nice... but it is also so dang scary! I think I told you, but she is 2 feet tall, can barely see over the steering wheel, and STOPS the car to merge onto the freeway. Then, when we get on, she goes 45 miles an hour and we get passed by 6 or 7 semis! After church yesterday, Hermana Trinidad had us all over for dinner. IT was awesome! You could tell C2 was loving it! It was also C2’s birthday this week! She had us come over for breakfast to celebrate with her! We made her a cake and she had one piece, then gave us back the rest of the cake...... hahaha! She told us that we are her best friends :) :) :) :) Now, I need your advice on something. When we have talked to C2 about baptism she tells us to be patient with her. She is from Peru and grew up, or was basically raised by nuns. She feels like she is betraying them if she gets baptized. What do we do!? How do you handle something like that!? Here is our plan, you guys let me know if you think it is a good one. We want to watch Elder Bednar's talk with her. He talked about how, when we invite others to come to church with us etc., it is not to diminish what they believe; they should bring all of the great knowledge and truths they have with them. So, we want C2 to see this. She can bring all of the great things that the nuns taught her and have the fullness of the gospel. What do ya think???
Numero Cinco: We got to go to the temple yesterday night for a little fireside in spanish with Cinthia and Darwin. It was a lot of fun! The temple was SO pretty because it was late at night and the whole thing was lit up and just glowing !
Y el Numero Seis: “L”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best part of the week! L. is a former investigator that I have met a few times because he is neighbors with Cinthia. This week his sister was outside so we went and talked with her and set up an appointment for the next day. Well, we came back and she wasnt there... but L. was!!!!!! He is 15 and is OBSESSED with basketball! He was out shooting hoops and was looking sad so we went and talked with him. He was having some women trouble (broke up with his girlfriend during 4th period but they had gotten back together by 6th... haha) He vented to us for about and hour and we set up a return appointment for the next day. We came back and played some basketball with him for an hour, then had a lesson. When we asked when we could come back he said "Tomorrow" So we came back the next day and did the same thing, played basketball for an hour and had a lesson. When we asked him what day we could come back, he again told us to come back the very next day!!! WHAT!? L. is my favorite! I got to play basketball like 3 or 4 times this week! Also, his favorite animal is a pig!!!!! SAY WHAT!? hahaha! The only bummer is that I had to buy him McDonalds because he made a crazy shot. I know I shouldn’t be betting with our investigators... oh well! Lesson
learned :)
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Can you believe that I have almost been out for 4 months!!! IT is going by WAY too fast.... WAY TOOOO FAST!!!! I love you so much! Thank you so much for all of my sweaters and boots mom!!! It is getting SO cold! You are the BEST! BEST! BEST! BEST!
Talk to ya’ll next week!
Peace and blessings
