Hey family and friends!
Hey family and friends!
How is life outside of Utah? Things here on the inside are doing great. Its been getting pretty chilly, but its been a super nice change from summer. Its hard to believe that we're already almost done with this transfer. I'm hoping that Elder Page and I both stay here...we've been having a blast and getting some solid work done. Anyway, here's what happened this week!
This morning we woke up extra early to get our studies done early enough to go and help the Gunns (an ex senior couple here that help us a lot) move their furniture back into their house for the first time since their ceiling caved in. Then we went home, changed and showered, and went out for lunch and shopping. He accidentally left his iPad in one of the stores while he was looking for a new jacket, but after a silent prayer from both of us we were able to locate it in the lost and found! Someone was honest enough to turn it in. That, or they realized it coded and locked down by the church :) we played volleyball for the zone activity, then came home and got ready for the evening. We were on foot, cuz Elder Page's bike is broken. We just had one lesson with the Moreno family. They said the reason they didn't come to church was because Brother Moreno woke up sick. So we're really hoping hey make it this next Sunday!
Tuesday:
After studies we started off the proselyting day with tons of finding! We didn't have any set lessons until after dinner, so we went to work in the trailer park! Miracle story there was that we decided to knock a random house to see if by chance it was the one we were looking for (a couple trailers didn't have numbers). It wasn't the person we were looking for, but we found a member who just moved in a while ago and has been looking for a ward in Spanish to go to! So we gave her the address and time and set a time to come back to get to know her. It was pretty cool :)
Wednesday:
We did service allllll morning. We were helping a family in our ward move, and we were the only ones there because everyone else is always working on Wednesdays in the morning. When we came back home we had to dress up fast and run to a stake coordination with the English sisters and a senior couple in the stake. Then we went home, ate some Little Cesar's pizza that a member dropped off for us, and ran to a lesson all the way at the bottom of our area. That lesson was a no show, so we did a little bit of street contacting, then at 7 rode all the way back up the hill for a lesson with Sergio. That lesson was super good! We're teaching the after baptism lessons, so he already has a pretty good understanding which means we can talk in a little more detail. It hit me how greatful I am for the Plan of Salvation...
The little girl is Maria Jose (aka Majo), their youngest daughter. She was also baptized.
