Hey Everyone!,
Monday: After emailing last week we played basketball for
about an hour. Even though I have 2 pretty bad ankle injuries....I'm suffering
a lot from it haha. Monday night we had dinner with the Pickett family. They
are a fun family with 4 kids that are at home and then like another 4 that are
living outside the house now. We had a yummy macaroni and cheese with sausages!
It was delicious! After that we rode around and just talked with people for the
rest of the night! Not a lot of success but we shall prevail!!!
Tuesday: On Tuesday we met with one of our newer
investigators, Mikayla, at Starbucks. We taught a little bit of the Plan
of Salvation to her but weren't able to get to much out of our mouths cause she
is a bit of a talker herself. Afterwards, we drove down to Winton (we had the
Spanish Elders car for some random reason...?) and met with Sister Tornabene.
Sister Tornabene has had a hard life and still is. She is a super sweet woman
though and has the coolest color of blue eyes that I've ever seen!! later on,
we met with one of our investigators named Jasmine. Jasmine is 19 years old and
works at the Taco Bell right next to our apartment!!! She has been taught by
missionaries before but has decided to give it another chance. We taught the
Restoration and committed her t pray and read to know if it's true!! We
are meeting with her either Thursday or Friday for another lesson.
Wednesday: On Wednesday we went on exchanges with the zone
leaders (Elder Cummings and Elder Perkins) I went to the Hmong 5th branch (My
HOME AREA!!!! <3) with elder Cummings and Elder Perkins stayed in the area
with Elder Harolds until about 7 until they did some work in the Merced 1st
ward (that's the other area the zone leaders cover). I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! I
loved going back into the Hmong branch for a day! I have forgotten so much of
the already little Hmong I know. But it was still awesome though. We got to see
2 of my favorite recent converts, Phoua Moua (the first woman I ever got to
baptize) and Nancy Vue (a 19 yr old hmong girl that got baptized in January. It
was good seeing both of them and knowing that they are active and strong in the
church! We also had 3 DINNERS THAT DAY!! WE had a 3, 5, and 7:30 dinners!!
Elder Cummings and I were SOOOO stuffed by the end!! It was so good though!! TO
finish off the night before bed, Elder Cummings and the rest of us played ping
pong at their apartment. It was loads of fun!
Thursday: We saw the Taccuba family and we taught Elizabeth
(unbaptized 8 yr old.) about 3 Nephi 11 through 26 about Christ coming to the
Americas. This little girl is sooo SMART and comprehends a lot of what we are
teaching her!! She wants to get baptized so bad but he rparent swan tto wait
till she turns 9 in November!! SO it's not too far away!! But still a little
bit to go.
Friday: We visited Tom (we haven't been able to get in the
last few weeks) and taught a little bit about the Plan of Salvation!!!
Saturday: We had transfer calls!!!!!!! AND....I'm going to
be training a brand new missionary!!!!!
Sunday: Elder Harolds gave his farewell talk in the ward
today. He's been a good comp that I have learned a lot from.
I love you all and hope you have a great week!!!
