haha - yep. My companion is the best! We had a really awesome Sunday experience after church. There are 4 sisters at the VC every Sunday and usually three eat while one of us stays upstairs just in case someone comes in...and then we switch. Well it was my turn to be up top this week and I was talking to one of the senior elders, Elder Cardall, about a really bright spotlight on the floor. He headed to the back to pick up a less bright one and I looked to the front door and saw Elder L.Tom Perry walking in the front door. First - did you know he's 90 years old and like 6'5" or something?! Crazy. Well he was in town this weekend for the inauguration of President Obama as a representative of the church, along with Elder Cook. Elder Perry came in with his cute little wife and an area 70 from Utah. As they walked in I told Sister Cardall across the floor that he was walking in and she bolted over, then I told Elder Cardall and he ran across the floor in the back! I said, "Elder Cardall, I don't know what to do.." (there would be protocols right?? they always say don't run up to the Apostles) "COME GREET HIM." okay :D so I got to meet Elder Perry! It was really cool! Elder Cardall actually used to work for KSL tv in Utah doing news stories and such and he knows Elder Perry already so he showed them around. Then when they made it to our faux house in the back where we show a movie called "God's Plan for Families" Sister Cardall came and got Hna Tuft and I to preset them and start the movie! It was so cool! We invited them all to think of someone who does not yet know that families can be together forever :D basically the coolest experience ever!
Then later that night we had a new investigator come to the VC - Eduardo. Our first lesson we had with him last Friday went really well and so he came to the VC and we talked about the Plan of Salvation and invited him to baptized and he said yes! We asked if he would prepared to be baptized at the end of February and he said he would tell us on the 1st of February! So good! also - they are planning on getting married :D :D :D gah - so amazing! I love it! Heavenly Father is so good!
And my companion is awesome! She's just really doing all she can to help out and always has the spirit! She's a great example to me and I love learning with her.
Today we had a marshmellow war for our Zone Activity and it was fantastic! I'm not really sure how we come up with these ideas but it just happens and its always awesome!
As for life - our area is a little slow but the Lord is really blessing us as we are putting our all in! We could probably knock a few more doors and we're working up with that - always improvement and change. That is what is constant in the mission...well life really!
LES QUIERO! EL EVANGELIO ES VERDADERO!! the church is true!
