Hello everyone!!!!!
Thanks for the birthday wishes. It
ended up being a pretty good birthday. We still have birthday cake
sitting on our counter. We made the cake you sent, and my district
leader made me a cake as well...so we have been eating a lot of cake!
I got everyone's packages. All the shirts fit good. And they will all work. The new purse works as well.
Our
zone meeting last week was very good. It was a little bit different
than the other ones. It was still focused on how to be good
missionaries, but we didn't do any practicing, and the meeting schedule
was just a little different. All of the Saylin's kids spoke to us, and
the Pres and Sis Saylin spoke as well. We then ate lunch with them,
took a picture, and got to say one last goodbye. It was an amazing
meeting. Pres Ashton flies in today. We are really excited for them to
come!
The wedding pictures look way cute! It looks like everyone had a great time.
This
week the work has been kinda slow. We had to drop a few investigators,
and we couldn't get in touch with a lot of them. Plus we weren't
feeling like we were finding anybody who was super interested in the
gospel. But on Sunday, some of the Spanish members had brought their
niece with them, and asked us to sit with her during class and Sacrament
Meeting. We also had a dinner appointment with some English members
yesterday. The sister is actually the daughter of the Spanish members,
so the parents and the niece were at dinner. We taught her an amazing
first lesson, with the help of the family. She had been meeting with
missionaries in Mexico for like three years, and really likes the
church. We set a baptismal date with her, and she even asked us if we
could do it sooner.
She has definitely been the miracle of the week. We get excited
everytime we think about how we get to teach her. We haven't had too
many other lessons this week. We tried a few new people, but it doesn't
look like much potential there, and we have one Spanish investigator
who is making some progress, but isn't progressing incredible quickly or
anything. This week we were finally able to figure out his doubt. So
it's been nice being able to teach to resolve that doubt rather than
just teach, hoping that we aren't making him anymore confused. We've
just been doing a lot of talking to people, and trying to stay out of
the rain. The rain has been absolutely nuts this last week. It would
just pour in the morning, all through our studies, and even lunch. But
then, right as we were getting ready to head out to work, the rain would
let up. So it's been cooler this week, and not as ridiculously hot as
it was before, but it's been really, really, wet. There are still
puddles in the street from all the water.
We've got another zone conference this week, to meet the Ashtons,
and we will have interviews with him soon. We are starting the fourth
week of the transfer. It's weird to think that this transfer is halfway
over. An when it's over, I will be halfway done with my time in
Texas. It is a little crazy to think about.
Well...I can't think of anything else to say. Other than our miracle on Sunday, work wise it's been kind of a dull week.
Love you lots!
Hope you get to Texas safely!
Amber!
