I'll start with the highlight of my
week......I saw a Raven explode haha! We were driving to dinner yesterday and
one of the power lines like blew up 50 feet in front of us and we saw all of
these burning things fall down all over the road. When we drove by, there was a
huge dead bird with burnt feathers. Yep, it was awesome. On our way home that
night we saw the electricians working on the power lines. Apparently they are
endangered so they're everywhere. I like to call them flying rats haha. Yep,
that was the best moment of my week.
No, not really, but it was funny. The real
best part of the week is that Gilbert is still a boss and reading his
scriptures and coming to church, and Abby came to New Beginnings on Wednesday
with her friend, Ysella. We also started teaching the cousin or our other
recent converts. Her name is Aleese and she is 8 years old. She is a cutie.
Ally, our other investigator has been reading a chapter in the Book of Mormon
every single day! We have had some really awesome lessons with our less actives
too. I learn so much from each one of them. Also, Rose and Richard back in
Diamond Bar are getting baptized next month!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited to go
and see them. They were my favorite people ever and I was sad to leave them but
apparently things are going good with them again and they are ready. I'm
seriously on cloud 9 just thinking about it.
All that good stuff made up for a tough week.
God is teaching me humility, trust, charity, and faith. There have been a
couple of those days where you drive around all day, trying so many people and
no one is home or interested. But, ya gotta look on the bright side. God always
puts good in between all that not so fun stuff to make it all worth it. He is
always there and is so aware of us.
Btw. This coming weekend we are doing a
mission-wide fast to strengthen our faith in Christ that he is preparing people
to receive the gospel. I'd invite each of you to participate. I know that when
we call upon the powers of heaven miracles happen. I'm excited!
Sorry that I don't have many cool stories or
updates. Just chuggin along, lovin mission life. Thank you again for being so
wonderful. Love you all!
