Oh man oh man this week has just been so wonderful and it FLEW!!! So I dont have too much time but I will try and recap on everything that happened!!! And i will try my best to remember everything that happened.. but it is so hard to remember!! Anyways, sooo
Tuesday: was PDAY. and then that night we went to go visit a few people and ended up going to the church to see if the relief society needed anything or the young womens!! We didnt really know exactly why we were there but then we found out! We started talking to our bishops wife and she really needed someone to talk to!! She is having such a hard time and just started crying like 4 times while we were talking to her. Its hard for her because last sunday a lot of people got up to bear their testimonies and all they did was talk bad about our bishop and stuff like that. it was hard to hear and see and we even had an investigator at church that day! that is why we are working to strenghten the members! because they cant even support each other. it was great to talk to her though and i think we really helped her to build up some strength to go on!
Wednesday: Such a fun day!! So we got to borrow the other hermanas car because one of our members just moved to Sugarland which is like 20 minutes away and she needed some help with her house! So we went over there for most of the day and helped her clean and organized and cook and stuff like that. it was so much fun. monique is like my older sister! we have gotten so close to her and i am so grateful for her!! haha while we were there though she goes, "can i tell you something?" and i was like " yeah sure!" and she pauses and goes, "you've gained some weight." BAHAHAHA i was dyinggg!!! its so true though and after she said that i was like oh crap! i really am gaining weight. Like for reals i might just see how much i can gain. Asi es la mision! I am glad people notice. But then we gave the car back around dinner time and we went to visit a less active! We had a cita with her but she wasnt there. Her mom was though!! And she let us IN. she never has done that before. it was such a miracle!! So we talked to her and got to know her and she opened up a ton. Then she invited us over for dinner and we told her we were going to share a message as well when we came over for dinner and she was like okay thats fine! MIRACLES. I love that lady. Her name is Leonor. Then we went to visit a solid member that hasnt been coming to church and she was sooo out of it and we thought something was wrong. She has just been so tired and busy though and she came to church yesterday which was great!!
Thursday: Weekly planning.. always sooo fun.. haha Hermana Tauteoli goes home in 2 weeks so she was sooo stressed so it was a little longer than usual but it all worked out! We taught Janie and read the Family Proclomation with her. She really liked it! Then we went over to say hi to some members! Not that exciting of a day but oh well!
Friday: such a great day! Friday we had la fiestas patrias! It was a ward party and they do it every year to celebrate mexicos independance day! every country brings food and we brought hot dogs and oreos! it was soooo much fun!! it was a wild party. hispanics know how to throw a ward party. and our district just made it so fun so it was awesome. hermana tauteoli made her hawaiian drink, otai. yum! and we helped monique make peruvian food! i am going to peru someday!! we also helped Maria make fun and she gave us helotas! MY FAVORITE FOOD!!! corn on the cob with mayo, cheese, and chile. soooooo soooo good. :) And then we went to the high school by the church because marias daughter had a volleyball game and no one else was going so we went! great day!
Saturday: we did exchanges and hermana carlson came to me! we taught three lessons in a row. to maria, her son jose, and janie! it was sooo wonderful! and jose is a new investigator and he is reading the book of mormon. and he just got out of jail! super awesome. i love that family!!! haha but then we went to correlation meeting which was an hour and a half long and the lights kept going out because there was a huge storm outside. funniest thing ever!
Sunday: Sunday wasnt too exciting but janie came to church!! and then we visited a bunch of other families and it was a good day.
I have to get off now but i just love being a missionary soooo much!! We have been seeing tons of miracles. This is the greatest and happiest gospel and work ever!! it is so true! I am so grateful to be here. OH! and on a side note, for some reason the mosquitos have chosen to ATTACK this week. My legs look like they are diseased and i think i might be slightly allergic because my bites do not look normal... haha its so bad though. i couldnt stand in one place for too long or else i would probably be dead from so many bites. what an exciting life!!! I LOVE IT!!! thank you for all your love and support and feel free to write me or email me! :) Love you all!
Love, Hermana Dorian :)
