Hola Familia!!!
This week was pretty good. We are getting close to the end of the transfer. It is going by way too fast!
Some stand out events:
Monday: We didn’t really do anything special. I got to write a bunch of letters, which was really good because I was getting behind, and there were people I was thinking about writing to that I got to write to. 🙂
Tuesday: We had a really cool lesson with a lady named L. She is super awesome. She just gets what we teach. We were teaching her little girls the 10 commandments, with little hand symbols that we use to remember them easier. The little girls names are J. and J., and they are 5 and 3. They were so cute and funny while we were teaching them, and then at the end we asked J., who tries to act really smart, what the 4th commandment was. She kind of giggled, and then said, “No sabo.” (she was trying to say that she didn’t know, which is no se, but she conjugated the verb wrong) We laughed a little, because it was so cute. Then she said “No sabo nada.” Then her mom said, “No J., es no sepo nada.” (which is the subjunctive version). We laughed even more after that. It was super funny. Anyway, it was funny to us. It probably doesn’t make as much sense to y’all. But anyways.. 🙂
Wednesday: We had district meeting. We talked about Christlike attributes, which was cool. I found a really cool scripture in Doctrine and Covenants while we were studying to prepare for district meeting, that talked about how we cannot help in the work of the Lord (for me that is missionary work now, but for y’all it’s in your callings and the responsibilites you have at church) without Christlike attributes. It was so good, but now I can’t think of where it is off the top of my head. Also, we taught our little investigator, D., who is so sweet and cute. He was telling us about how his favorite part of the Plan of Salvation was the creation, because he loved nature. We told him that God made the world the way He did just for us to enjoy it. Then D. said, “Wow! He guessed right!” 🙂 So cute! He is such a funny little kid.
Thursday: It was Sister M.’s halfway mark! She had this funny sign she made, because she talked to her younger brother, who is also on a mission about it, and he said that in Brazil, where he is on his mission when there is an h it is pronounced like an r. So instead of “hump day”, it was “rump day”! So she took said sign to Texas Roadhouse, when we went to eat there, and took a picture of her with the sign in front of Texas Roadhouse. Ha ha. Super awesome! 🙂
Friday: We went to an enchilada dinner, that like 5 different member families paid for us to go to, and it was super fun. The entire day felt like 4 hours. It was just gone super fast. But it was good. We met a cool new investigator there, who is the friend of an investigator that the elders are teaching, so that was cool as well.
Saturday: We went to eat with Hermana P., who is one of the coolest semi-recent converts ever. She takes such good care of us. She has only been a member for about 4 years, and she is very missionary oriented, and is just amazing. I want to be like her when I am older.
Sunday: We had three investigators at church! It was great. One of our investigators, L., told us the first time we invited her to church that she didn’t want to go, because she doesn’t like big crowds of people she doesn’t know. But she finally came! And she brought her older son, A., which was also super good because we are teaching him as well.
So anyway that is basically what is going on with me. Well, I better go now. I love you all lots!!!!
Love, Kelsey
