Hola!!
Oh man. What a week! On friday we felt the hope of springtime with a beautiful 75 degrees all day only for all of our dreams to be dashed by suuuuuuuuuuuper cold weather Saturday that should continue for the rest of the week. Thankfully, no snow yet, just a little bit of freezing rain but it already melted. MAN, Texas! Make up your mind! (speaking of Cold, it actually would be nice to have those hats and scarves from my winter box just in case it doesnt warm up anytime soon....I can't remember honestly what box it was in my closet though...I thought it was just a cardboard box ? Who knows. But i'm not picky, so just send me a couple of whatever you find. Thank you!)
This week we had like 3 days of double dinners--SOOOO much food! I almost wanted to burst, my stomache was so full! But I guess that's better than starving, right? We'll see when I'm done gaining the average sister missionary 30 pounds....haha
This Sunday was crahazay (the cool way to say Crazy) because we started with a slight bummer but then ended on a spiritual high--all because of the same family! So Saturday night we called the familia S to see if they'd be coming to church on Sunday and she gave us the most firm "Yes" i've ever heard in my life. Then she texts us Sunday morning to tell us their truck doesn't work!
I swear, Satan is working really hard...Good thing Good wins in the end!
So we find a ride for them and we're driving in our car showing this family the way to the S's house when we call Hna S to say we're on our way and she says she's not ready and won't be able to go...ugh.
So they didn't get to come to church yesterday, but we decided to visit them that night and show them the Restoration movie. When we visited them, turns out one of our texts didn't get to her and there was some sort of miscommunication (that made us feel TONS better!) and the spirit was SO strong when we watched the Restoration. Afterwards, Hna S told us that they were going to commit themselves to reading from the Book of Mormon every night as a family (at 7pm, she even made an appointment for herself!) and pray to know if it was true, and then come to church this Sunday. We didn't even have to say anything! Man, this work is REAL and true.
They are so cool. We love 'em.
Have I also talked about how much we love E and N? They're basically rock stars. E has been worried about if they get married then it will mess up their papers and stuff, but she said something really cool: "But being married is a Law of God, and if He says that I need to be married in order to live with someone and have my family, then I'm going to do it because I want to do this right. If he wants us to get our papers done, then he'll help us do that afterwards." Isn't she so cool!?!?! What 20 year old says that?? Someone with TONS of faith, that's who. She has been through so much in her life and she never wavers in her faith. So we'll talk with her tonight and see when they want to go ahead and do the wedding/baptism for N. :)
They rock.
Oh, and did you know that when you're a missionary, you're immune to awkward social situations??? Like when you call your less active and they invite you over to the restaurant they're at and let you order food even though they've already finished eating and are basically ready to go. This nametag must make us invincible or something... (BTW the Denny's baja skillet is super good....)
:)
That's so cool that story about fasting for rain! I love fasting. And Prayer. And rain (when I'm not a missionary....). And send my love to Sister Gurney! Sounds like the McBride-Strait concert was fun, of course I have a new appreciation for country music as a re-born Texan :) I looooove Jazz Festivals. Sounds like the Aragon one went well, and that's so fun to run into everyone at the theaters! I actually heard about that movie from Haley in one of her letters, it sounds really cool! I want to see it when I get home, so let me know what you think! (But don't worry, Mom, we are extra safe and extra careful and we have an extra nice area, I promise!)
But really. You should look up pictures of Saginaw. That is dang nice. Did you know that if Glenn Beck and the Jonas Brothers spoke spanish, they'd come to our ward? Yeah, that's the kind of area our ward covers.... ;)
Sounds like everything's going great! I love you all so much and I hope this week is SPECTACULAR.
Con amor,
Hermana Sangre
