HANNAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE GOING TO SEE MOM AND MAX TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN FREAKING OUT ALL MORNING!!!!!!!!!!! HOW ARE YOU ALREADY DONE!? HOW DO YOU FEEL????? IT DOESNT SEEM REAL!?!?! FAMILY... HOW ARE YOU HANDLING ALL OF THIS???? WHAT IS COLORADO LIKE???? HAVE YOU MET ANYONE YET??????? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I don't even feel like there is any point in talking about my week because there is much bigger and more important things going down today! WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!! But, I will give you guys a quick run down :)
So much happens here errrrrday and it is just so hard to describe it all to you! It is hard for me to describe what Baltimore is like, what the people are like, the experiences I am having and the feelings that go along with all of it. I wish you guys could just be here and experience all of this too! I am go excited that in a year you all can come and do what you are going to do today with Hannah! I can just imagine us walking down the streets of Baltimore, talking about everything!!!!!!!!
This week Hermana Orton and I had to teach President and Sister Richards the entire Plan of Salvation, in 10 minutes, in English (I can’t teach in English), in front of our entire zone! Well... it wasn’t amazing. But, considering all of the circumstances... I feel like we did ok :) haha!
We had some great miracles this week! M and her family are one of these miracles!!! M was a referral from the Elders and we stopped by this week. She let us right on in and was BEYOND kind to us! Wow! We had a great lesson on the spirit and it really could not have gone any better :) We stopped by the other day for only 5 minutes and she had started to read the restoration pamphlet and everything! This woman is prepared y’all :)
Another milagro :) We went over to teach R, she had been taught since August and we decided that we needed to be really bold with her. Her daughter wants to be baptized but something was holding R back. Well, we found out this week what it was. She thought that after baptism, she wasn't allowed to dance anymore! hahaha :) We cleared that up really quick and she immediately accepted the offer to be baptized! The date is January 11th! We have a few other hoops we need to jump through, but now she is excited as can be! We even told her we will have a dance party after her baptism!
The other night we stopped by the road in a forested area and found a tree branch. We made it our Christmas tree and decorated it during our lunch hour the next day. Thanks for sending everything to make the snowflakes, Mom!!! We are feeling festive :)
Hmmmmmm.... what else should I tell you guys about??? Everyone... EVERYONE here makes fun of how tall I am! At first I thought it was kinda funny but now... I am ready to take out the next person who says anything to me. Every other second someone is saying "Que Grande!!!!" "Is every person in Utah as tall as you?" Everyone stands up and comes to measure themselves against me. The men tell me that I give them "pena", which basically means it hurts them that I got the height and they didn’t. haha - jealousy!! But this is the worst one though: this ladies little son kept handing me a bottle of advil during a lesson and she said to me "Maybe you should take some. They might help you shrink." SAY WHAT!? But, it is ok. I just needed to vent to someone and let it all out!
I love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am excited to talk to you next week!!!! Have fun with Hannah!!!!!!!!!!! I expected to hear E V E R Y detail :)
Hermana Mangum, Jr. (soon to be Sr.)
