Well, this week, we didn't teach a whole lot because we had a lot of other things. But, it was still great!
To tell you about my week, I think I will go by days.
.
Monday- Pday! I made a skirt! But I didn't finish it because I didn't have time....But its a work in progress. We went to visit a less active couple, who are elderly, and when we got there, the woman had fallen and broken her arm in 2 places and was in the hospital. I don't want to get old... Anyways, so, our back up plan was to visit a different less active. So went went, and she was in a pile of her grandsons homework. One of the things needing to be done was a border around every page. Different color and pattern. Ridiculous if you ask me, but we helped anyways. Thats about all...
Tuesday- Divisions! This time, divisions went a lot better than the past few times. We gave service, went to the hospital, (for the sister training leader, not me.) And taught! While we were at the doctor, I decided when I get home, I think I could be a doctor for people who speak Spanish, because I think that's my best vocabulary. Haha. One of our lessons we had, the member that went with us started right into the lesson and was explaining deep doctrine. It was kinda scary to the investigator. The investigator has been to SLC and visited Temple Square. also, her son is a member. When we were teaching, she said she wasn't gong to change her religion. Towards the end, I felt I needed to ask how she felt at the temple. She then shared a lot of spiritual experiences, and said she knows this church is true. But she wants a little more time before being baptized.
Wed- We practically taught nothing. We had our weekly district meeting, ate lunch super fast, and then went to the temple. It was so cool to have all of the sister missionaries in the same session. There were about 4 Men and 40 something women. It was a wonderful experience. And it was ALL in Spanish.
Thurs- We had the conference for all of the sisters. From 9am-5:30 pm. It was great. I really enjoyed it. We listened to a lot of talks from the sister training leaders and then we got to craft! I was in heaven. That night we had a lesson with our special investigator and her boyfriend. He speaks English! So, when I didn't know a word, I could say it and he understood! And he has very little religious background, but he is so open to the spirit. It was amazing.
Friday/Saturday- Nothing to exciting happened these days...
Sunday- We were pretty much running all day. we had breakfast with a less active and her friend showed up. So, we invited her to church. she agreed! Then we had to run to get Marlene. there were 8 of us and a 5 passenger car. so, my companion and I ran to go find a taxi and then Marlene drove up and we all went together. It was squishy. We got to church late, and I gave my first official talk. After, one of the members of the bishopric said he witnessed a miracle and the gift of tongues. Aww. Then we found out about transfers. I'm getting a new companion. So, my companion wanted to get as many pictures with people as we could,. it was exciting.
Thats about all. Love you all and hope you have a great week!!
