Hello Everyone!
Well
this week has been tough. I got my baby on Tuesday! Sister Vasquez.
She's gorgeous! She half Filipina and Hispanic. She is from California.
She has only been a member for 16 months! That will bring a deeper
understanding for our investigators. She is a fabulous teacher. It
amazed me the first time we taught the Restoration. The spirit was so
strong. We have had ups and downs this week with our relationship, but
have learned a lot and worked it out. I'll make sure I have a photo of
us together next week.
I am in the Alameda Branch. It involves a lot of transient families. I
think that is what it's called. Basically the ward cannot function on
it's own, so they call families in different areas to be in the branch.
The branch keeps telling me to not get disappointed because blah blah
blah. They have such low expectations for missionary work.That's my
goal. I'm going to change that. I'm going to talk to EVERYONE. We are
going to find so many investigators that they won't know what to do with
them. This past week has been hard because NO one wants to let us in
because they are busy with Christmas. So starting Thursday, it's on. I'm
going to be on fire and the branch will watch me burn.
I'm
so excited to Skype my family on Christmas! We will keep it 40 minutes.
That time will fly, but I know the Lord will strengthen and bless me,
my family, my companion, and the area when we are obedient.
I've got a pile of packages from so many family and friends.
Thank you sooooo much. Surprisingly I have gotten a little more mature
on my mission and have not opened them yet. Saving them for Christmas.
Before the mission, I would have torn them open the moment I saw them.
hahaha The mission changes you in so many ways.
