Hey mom! Haha I loved
the pictures you sent of Nellie and of the day that everyone came to BYU. Good
times. The one of Rustin sleeping in Sacrament meeting is classic, haha nice
one Amanda. I think your hair looks awesome, the girls are locas! It's so weird
to me that the kids are starting another year of school while I'm out here.. It
feels like I'm in a strange alternate reality sometimes. But at least homework
doesn't exist in this reality (; I'm glad you found the song I recorded a while
ago but I can't believe you posted it on facebook, woman! Haha oh well..
So this week wasn't
much less strange than the last one. Hermana Sidan and I did our best to knock
doors and find new investigators, and we were able to find a few who have some
potential. We visited Roxana two times and both times two different pastors
from her church happened to show up to buy something and both tried to keep her
from listening to us because "there words are the only ones she should
listen to". They weren't too friendly for being supposed followers of
Jesus Christ, but Roxanna decided that she would keep listening to us and
investigating even though her pastors scold her for doing so.
We had some other
interesting lessons with people who let us in but weren't really willing to
find out the truth for themselves and really just wanted to argue. But we
also had a lesson with Mauricio that went really well- he's reading been
reading the Book of Mormon and is really interested in the story of Lehi and
his family. He's also been praying about whether Joseph Smith was a prophet and
he feels good but still feels like he hasn't gotten his answer, but we watched
the 20 min video of the Restoration and he loved it because he says that he
feels a lot like Joseph felt when he was searching for the truth and wasn't
sure where to find it. I'm positive that he's going to get his answer soon and
that he'll find what he's been searching for for years. That lesson made all of
the craziness that had happened earlier in the week worth it. Seeing him
progressing and reading makes me extremely happy because I know what happiness
he's going to find in the church. We still got lost quite a few times but it
wasn't terrible and we had fun!
We tried to have the
English class on Saturday but no one showed up.. It's all good though, cosas
que pasan. The choir was a success though and we're going to be singing Mas
Cerca Dios de Ti to Thee this Sunday! But anyways, as you know, Hermana Sidan
left yesterday because she had to go vote and she also starts college today. T
he most stressful part
of the week was that for the last few days I've been hearing a million
different things about what's going to happen about my new comp. They still
hadn't given me any sort of a solid answer about who was going to come and when
yesterday, so when Hna Sidan left I was stuck in a trio with the other two Hermanas
and I slept on their floor (as you could see in the picture I sent). This
morning I finally was told that my comp is going to be Hermana Cheta, and that
we have to go pick her up today at 4. I'm a little nervous because I've heard
some interesting things about Hna. Cheta, but I'm going to form my own opinion
of her and try not accept everything that I've heard as the truth. We'll see
what happens..! That's all I've got this week. I hope the kids have a fun week
in school and that you and dad enjoy having them out of the house for at least
part of the day. I miss you and love you! Wish me luck with the new comp!
<3,
Hermana Crawfish
