Alright... This was a strange week...
Lunes: We had a really good P-Day. We were able to get all
of our laundry, cleaning, writing, and buying done with tons of time to spare
to lie down for a little while. We also saw Dr. Morales again. Then we went and
taught Julia again and it was a little hard. We were explaining about prophets
and she didn't exactly understand everything. Then we tried explaining that
those who wrote the Book of Mormon were prophets too, but what she understood
was that the Book of Mormon was just pieces of the Bible. So we tried
explaining that to her that it was written by people here in the Americas. She
still didn't understand, so we're going to keep working with her until she
does. We then got to visit Hugo and taught him about the restoration of the
church. It was so cool! He's spent this entire time thinking that Joseph Smith
made the church on his own. But then we went to explain that he saw Heavenly
Father and Jesus and through their power he was able to restore the church. He
just looked up at us and said, “So what you're telling me is that this is the
true church that I've just joined?” We
just smiled and said yes. Then he said the closing prayer and it was so
powerful:)
Martes: Today we had our district meeting, a birthday party
for Hermana Martinez, and interviews with President. He is so cool! Then we
went home because Hermana Adelman wasn't feeling well. So we studied, rested.
Then I stretched, maybe sketched, took a climb, and sewed a dress (If you
didn't understand that.... sad....:)). We weren't able to go to our meeting
with Hermano Pino, so the Hermanas from the other area came over and visited us
and told us what happened at the meeting. We finally had ward correlation! And
they brought us soup.... Because all we're eating are peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches...:) We also got a sad call from Hermana Madsen that Hermana Adelman
might go home... So sad!!
Miercoles: ¡¡TEMPLO!! I love going to the temple:) And this
time I was awake the entire time:) And I loved having the chance to read my
patriarchal blessing in the Celestial Room. It gives you peace:) After that we
went home and heard from President about Hermana Adelman. He talked to the area
doctor and he thinks that she need to go home and figure out what's going on,
re-cooperate, and then come back. And she told me that she prayed in the temple
about it too and feels at peace that it's right. She has such sweet faith it's
insane:) But he also said that I'm having special changes because of it, so I
have to pack my bags too. So we spent the rest of the day at home, resting and
talking:)
Jueves: We immediately started packing this morning and
cleaned the house. I wrote a few letters too. We also went out and bought
chapulines for Hermana Adelman's family and tried to say goodbye to some of our
investigators and members, but no one was home. Sad!!! Later that night the
other Hermanas came over and visited us with Dominos and Boing:) For Hermana
Adelman and also Hermana Martinez for her birthday. It was really fun:) And I
found out that my special changes were with the other Hermanas, so I really
only needed to pack for the week because I can pass my house anytime....
Gah....
Viernes: Today we woke up early in the morning to be ready
to go to the offices. We had a member take up there and it was a really fast
goodbye. So sad... But then me and the other Hermanas went to my house to pack
stuff for the week and to wait for the garbage man to come. Then we went to eat
and bought a birthday cake for Hermana Martinez from Tartamiel:) Then we went
to teach a few of their investigators. And we got to see Eufemia and Hugo.
Sabado: Today we spent most of our time in the other area of
the Hermanas. But today we got to see Eufemia and Edgar! He hasn't had alcohol
since July 15! So great:)
Domingo: Church was really great and Julia came with her
granddaughter! And I got to meet some of the members from Puerto Escondido that
are friends with Hermana Martinez. We got to eat with the Familia Limon. And
then spent our time teaching in the area of the other Hermanas.
You have 2 weeks left to finish 2nd Nephi!!
