We're on an exchange right now with our Sister Training Leaders, so for the day I'm in Mansfield/Arlington (Arlington 5th ward to be exact) but tonight I'll go back to Hurst and get back to normal Spanish missionary life :)
Yeah, we celebrated our President's day pretty hard with some laundry and apartment cleaning and grocery shopping and basketball playing for a zone activity--I'm actually not terrible at Basketball! AKA once every 10 shots I make it....the next female version of Lebron James right here, people. Watch out.
Question: do y'all know an Elder Trevor Hill? He's serving in San Francisco/Oakland and he knows my friend Sister Syler.
aaaaaanyways. This week was great, we're still working with la familia S and we committed them to live the Word of Wisdom! Obsispo Delgado is convinced that Hermano S will be the next bishop--that's what we think too :) This family is so stinking prepared for the gospel! La Hermana likes to take things slow because she knows that Baptism is a pretty big commitment and she wants to make sure that they really understand what they're doing. But yeah, they're awesome.
We also set a wedding date and baptismal date for N! We got the feeling that he was feeling a little lost--as in E and Us were making all the decisions and he was just along for the ride, so we took a different approach to the situation and asked him when HE wanted to do these things and WHY. So he basically set his own Baptismal date! It's gonna be end of April, which seems like forever away, but we feel really good about it because it's something that he chose for himself and for his family.
AND B should be getting baptized this Saturday! She's getting some major surgery tonight, but she seemed pretty set on getting baptized no matter what, so we're really excited for her and praying really hard that the surgery goes well and that she's ok.
But man, I stinking LOVE this area! I feel like I am a part of this ward, it's ridiculous, at the end of this transfer I will have been here for 7 and a half months! Dad, we might as well send my records here, ya know? :) haha But It's such a great ward here and there is a ton of work to be done. I imagine that I'll be transferred these upcoming transfers, just since I've been here for so long, but I wouldn't mind being here another 6 weeks either! That's how much I love these people.
Mom-I didn't know the El Camino Ward had so many missionaries! That's awesome! We work a lot with our ward council and ward missionary, here in Hurst. We try to have daily contact with our Ward Mission Leader to let him know about the lessons we teach and how our progressing investigators are doing. Then we go into Ward Council every 2nd and 4th sunday of every month to let the ward know about how our less-active members and progressing investigators are doing and how we can fellowship them and make them feel comfortable. We also try to take our members out on exchanges as much as possible--Tell Nat to go out with the missionaries as much as possible, then His members will go out with him a ton on his mission and that's GOLD. (P.S. I am completely supportive of any family efforts to learn spanish!!! Me and Jake will need some people to talk with so that we can keep it up!) :)
Also: me and Hermana Gwynn are going to the temple next week on Friday, which means we have to change our Preparation Day to the 28th of February, so we probably won't be emailing until then. We're not really sure how that will work, though, so emailSunday night/monday morning anyways just in case, but don't be surprised if i don't respond until Friday. :)
Glad to hear that everyone is doing well! (Happy Valentine's Day, and Happy Birthday to Nat on Saturday! Make sure to pick out some dope looking ties, ok? ok.) Sounds like y'all are keeping busy between track/school/work/booster-law-
The works going great and I love every second of it! Thanks for everything and I love you all soooooooo so much!
con amor,
Hermana Sangre :)
