Week 15

This week was a little slow, but we got some good things done. We're getting further and further with our investigators and they are really progressing. Here it is.

Lunes: We had another play practice that lasted almost 5 hours... I am so tired... But we got a lot of things fixed that needed to be taken care of. Afterward we met up with a few more missionaries and had lunch at this Chinese buffet place. Mexican Chinese is actually really good:) Then we did our shopping and email. We really only had time for one lesson, so we went to Loma Linda and found Edgar. So we talked to him and he was still really happy from church the day before:)

Martes: We had our weekly district meeting and it was SO great! I love having Elder Allred as a district leader. He always has such great ideas. We had comida with Hermana Rita today. She's like our mom:) But we had the best rice, spaghetti, and chicken.... And the spiciest potatoes I have ever had! But we also had some really good lessons with the boys and Hermano Hugo. Then we had our meeting with our mission leader and ward correlation.

Miercoles: We started out today with another ensayo which went really well. But we were working so hard and for so long that Hermana Olsen got one of her headaches again. So we stayed at home and had to miss comida. But after taking a nap she was much better. But we went out and found the boys and taught them and we ended the night with a Family Home Evening with la familia Martinez. We taught about the Atonement and compared it to a snowflake:)

Jueves: Today.... Hermana Olsen woke up with a nasty cold, so I got to play mom for a few hours. Once she was feeling better we went out to the market and bought flowers for Hermana Margarita. We thought it would be cute since she has done so much for us. We had comida with the bishop.... And the World Cup just so happened to be on....:)... Go Brazil..... But we went out to Loma Linda and found the boys and we walked to the church to have a lesson with Hermano Pavey, a member of the bishopric. They loved him. He shared his testimony and his conversion story. And afterwards we got THE BEST tortas de pastor. Go look that up:)

Viernes: Today we decided to go full out and start early, even though Hermana Olsen was still sick. But we finished up our second time through of the Plan of Salvation with Hermano Hugo, talked to Hermano Martinez, and we had the most awkward appointment for comida.... I guess they were super busy and didn't sit down with us or talk to us.... Kind of awkward... We also went to Loma Linda and taught Bruno and Roberto. And we tried to get a lesson in with the boys, but it started POURING rain, so we had to go home...

Sabado: Today we went and found another menos activo with the Young Womens president. She's a girl that's like 13 years old. Then we went home and studied some more. Today we had comida with la Familia Ferra. We had some really good frijoles and papas con chorizo. Later we went and found Martin and his wife with their grandkids and we took them to an activity that we had planned. We watched the full version of the Restoration movie. They loved it!!! And they got to see a baptism:)

Domingo: We had a good turnout in church today. Edgar and Martin's wife came with us, Roberto showed up, and Hermano Martinez came with his family. Martin's friends made him drink. We were so mad. But they stayed for all three hours. We had comida with Hermana Rita again and she made something exactly like chips and curry from Ireland. It was so good!!  We ended up only being able to teach Edgar today, but it was good. He is super confused about the Plan of Salvation, so we're going to stick with teaching him that for a while.

Well, I hope you guys had a good week and will have a good week. Keep smiling and share the Gospel with your friends. It saves lives:)

Love Always,

Hermana Walker
