This week was a week of traveling.
First,
we had companion exchanges. My companion went to Tlaxcala with her MTC
companion (Now our sister training leader) and I stayed with Hermana
Ibarra. Man, is she just the contacting queen! I learned a lot from her
during that time and it was a good time to catch up a little bit and
talk about the experiences we have had during our last 10 months in the
mission field. We then did quite a bit of traveling to get our companions back
and when Hermana Vazquez and I finally got back to our area, we had to
go back to house to get the phone that I had forgotten in the house and were late to our district meeting. It also just so happened that our Zone
leaders were there. Oops! They hardly ever get the chance to come out
because we're about 2 hours away from them, so it's a rare occasion
and....we were late for it. =P However, it was a good meeting so it
wasn't too bad. =)
We also had interviews with
President this week. We
talked about obedience and the four things he focused on during our zone
conferences; Safety, Urgency, Informality, and Flirting. It's always a
little nerve racking to have "alone time" with the President but I
always walk out feeling refreshed and ready to work. Also, we talked to
Hermana Christensen about the "My Family" pamphlets that they have asked
us to begin to fill out and use. Speaking of which I'm issuing a
"Selfie" Call to the family! I need pictures of my wonderful family to
put on my pamphlet. Also, mom, I don't know if you have the most recent
pictures of my sisters and I together. Or my sisters together? I would
take them from Facebook but....I'm kinda not allowed to get on it. ;)
Last
Monday we learned how to make hand-made hawaiian pizzas from our ward
mission leader. They were sooooooooooooooo good! Today, we learned how
to make churros. I didn't learn to much how to make the batter because I
was looking at all of the pictures that his wife was showing me of them
and their life together. It was super cute. She also showed me all of
the little cards that her husband has made for her during their 6+ years
together. There's a lot that young men could learn from our ward mission
leader. =P
My companion and I had the
wonderful experience of taking a talk given in General Conference this
last October and using it to teach not only the less active family we
visited but also those members that accompanied us. It was "Approaching
the Throne of God with Confidence" and we had prayfully prepared which
parts the members were going to share and how they were going to do so.
It went really well and the members received answers to problems they
had mentioned to us previously as they explained which was more than we
had expected. It was great being able to walk out of the lesson feeling
that everyone (including us) had benefitted from the lesson.
Today,
we have officially abandoned our house for a few days to let all the
little fleas die that have been eating us the last few weeks. A few of
the sisters from the ward came over to help us spray everything down and
get a good cough attack from the spray. Hopefully everything will die
so that when we move back in we will no longer be eaten in our sleep.
=P
Shout out to the CopperHills 6th Ward!
Thank you so much for the pillowcase and the letter. It was a wonderful
surprise to receive it! :)
I'm still getting green envelopes.
Not sure how many have still yet to come but the other sister
missionaries have been teasing me for almost constantly receiving them...Thanks to all those who sent me Christmas letters, I have really enjoyed them!!
