Hey Everybody!
Hey Everybody!
This week has been crazy!
Monday we had a big mishap with the bus
system and ended up an hour late for an appointment with the Mitmas
and didn't end up getting to teach Coral. Little Coleia tried to give me a hug after the
lesson and I was like AHHH I'm a missionary! I felt really
bad though. She reminds me so much of Holly when she was 8. The Mitmas are so awesome! Love them so much! We also played marshmallow
dodgeball for P-day, which made everyone really sore the rest of the
week.
Tuesday it started to really get cold.
Winter is definitely coming. We got Faustine the Gospel Library app
and he was able to start reading the Book of Mormon to his family. I
also started to rise in stress levels because things weren't going
according to anything we had planned.
Wednesday, I had a major stress
emergency that day and was really struggling with how things were
going. However, the Mitmas had us over for dinner and they BBQ'd for
us and the burgers were just like Dad used to make! They were so
good! I also remodeled my desk and put out
more pictures from home. That's been really nice.
Thursday, we had weekly planning as always. We were actually able to get most everything done and it was very productive. That evening when we were taking the bus we got to have an... interesting.... .... discussion with a very...
Friday, we had zone training, it was way awesome and I learned a lot and we even remembered to bring a lunch with us! We also got the teaching supplies in French and were able to start teaching Faustin and his family the discussions. It was crazy because we teach him, he translates to his family and then he translates their questions back to us. It's way cool to see!
Saturday, we were able to help Sis. Mitma clean up the house she's moving into for inspection. It's way
close to our apartment and we're going to be able to start teaching
them more often! Then we
went to General Conference... sorta. So we
got on the bus downtown, found out the bus that goes to the stake
center doesn't run on Saturday, rode the bus back to our apartment, looked at a bus map (at 9:45) saw a bus that did go there, Rode our
bikes downtown as fast as we could, got to the bus station, got on
the bus and rode it for another hour. got to the end of the bus
route -- it didn't go where we needed to and ended up at a park in
Medical Lake, a good 40 minutes from the stake center. It was pretty
ridiculous. We missed the entire first session. It was very
frustrating at the time, but now it's pretty funny.
Sunday, General Conference was amazing
and we got rides, so there wasn't another fun story about it.
But
after the first session, a family from the Spanish Branch invited all
of the missionaries to come and eat lunch with them and it was really
good! The afternoon session was really good and we just loved
the messages shared! That evening we saw miracles as we decided to
walk and just talk to everyone! The Lord blesses us when we follow
the gentle promptings of the Spirit. It was amazing! I also have been
sewing my gray suit a lot and I think it should be okay now. It's
been trying to fall apart lately. I've gotten really good at sewing
since I've had to mend most of my slacks from bike tears and such.
Things have been awesome!
Love to everybody!
Talk to you next week!
