Hello Everyone!
It has been a great week! We are
seeing miracles everyday! We were able to teach many people this week!
Many are progressing! Many are being found!
We had zone conference on Tuesday.
I sang a solo. The elders asked me the day before to sing. So I sang,
"Live Like You Believe." It went really well. I just prayed before I
sang that I could invite the spirit. That helped me not be so nervous.
We were knocking on some apartment doors and this
cute chubby hispanic kid starts talking to us. He told us which doors
were english speaking and which were spanish speaking. He started
following us around like a little puppy. It was hilarious. He started
knocking on the doors for us. Just imagine the people opening the door
and seeing two missionaries and a little chubby boy. hahaha
We have been doing a lot of hours at the Jeffco
Action Center. It is a place that people donate food and items and they
give it to the poor and homeless. It is amazing. The workers love us so
much because we work really hard. I cleaned out a dirty fridge that
literally made me gag. Most of the volunteers are people who need court
service hours. So theirs a lot of Juveniles there. They think it's funny
that we volunteer just for fun.
We have moved into a new home. Sister Grebe. The
McCall's home was really far and we kept going over our mile limit.
Sister Grebe just recently lost her husband. They were married for over
70 years. She is 94 years old! hopefully we can help her around the
house and give her some comfort in her home. Her home is really nice. We
have the basement all to ourselves. I'm excited because there is a
treadmill! Get my Skinny on!
Bernadine and Ricky are doing really great living
the Word of Wisdom! They haven't been smoking, drinking alcohol or
coffee. I am really proud of them. We taught them Saturday night and we
were really inviting them to come to church. Ricky kept giving excuses.
All of a sudden there was a knock on the door. I'm not gonna lie, my
stomach dropped. I was so scared his gang was going to come in a get us!
But it was this man, Rafael. He walked in with a big smile. They don't
even know him very well. Ricky and Bernadine were walking on the side of
the road and he decided to pick them up and take them home. He wanted
to stop by to check on them. Well he joined us. We were teaching the
Plan of Salvation. Than he starts telling Ricky he should go to church.
hahaha I seriously think he is an angel! But we are going to get him to
go to the spanish ward because he wasn't able to understand to much.
The next day, Bernadine and Rafael were at church.
We talked to Ricky since and he says he promises that he will come to
church this next Sunday. Ricky gave me a drawing he did in jail. It's
really neat. I'll take a photo of it for next week. I love Ricky and
Bernadine's prayers. They are the best. So sincere.
Everyone is going crazy over the Broncos. haha It's
really funny. Yesterday Sister Vasquez bought bronco clothing. I was
going to get a vintage bronco looking shirt/jersey, but I didn't want to
spend the money. So i booked it out of the store empty handed.
Well I love you all so much! Transfers is Tuesday the 28th. I am pretty sure I will be staying in the area. Their not kicking me out yet.
