los bendiciones de tomar siestas!


Wednesday, February 27, 2013

pues, yo he estado demaciado cansada pero Dios me ha dado la bendicion de Siestas y yo tome una siesta :D yay!! sera algo genial!
 
So, its pday right. I love pday but i hate it cause it stresses me out because of all the things that have to be done. So if letters are again slow, this is why! I love getting them but it is the last thing I'm allowed to do on pday and i can only write them on pday. so i apologize.
 
This week has been pretty great. so the other day we went to go see a former investigator because the Elders that served here before wanted us to go and see her. We quickly figured out that when we went to visit this 17 year old at 1pm that she was still in school probably. BUT the Lord provides miracles. There was a couple laying mulch on the ground a few houses down and so we went to see if they needed help. They said no, but that was the beginning of the conversation - MULCH. haha. We somehow made it to the gospel and she told us that she has been thinking about what she wants to do within the next couple of years because she has two little kids and doesn't know what to teach them. WOW! she wants to learn for her kids, eventhough she told us that she is not really sure what religion she is. Well in the mean time her husband had come back out of the house and so as we explained a little bit about the Book of Mormon to him, i asked her about where she got the mulch and she couldn't remember what it was called but that they basically dumb a big scoop in the back of your truck and if anything falls, you can pick it up and take it. Well, this week they were nice and gave them 1 and 1/2 SCOOPS!! what?! that's cool...it only made Hna Clement and I think after that that was a blessing from the Lord. because if they only had 1 scoop we would have missed them because they were just finishing with there1 and1/2 when we got there.
 
Well, Lourdes came to church this week!! WOOHOO! it was amazing! well, it was a little weird cause we did church backwards, without Sunday School because of Ward Conference but it all worked out okay :D and she is just wonderful! She told us this amazing testimony that just recently grew of fasting and it was before we even taught fasting to her :D she is so good and we are sooo excited for her to be baptized!! She is too, and keeps asking about it :D so that is definitely a good thing. She wants to follow Jesus Christ and is just now ready to do so.
 
Last week we had interviews with President Matsumori and Sister Matsumori...that happens like every other transfer. It was really good. I told Sis. Matsumori of magical sleep remindy =icyhot :D try it sometime if your back is ever killing or your muscles are tense, helps you relax so then your mind will just follow suit and you can sleep just a little bit better. And as I was talking with President Matusmori, I had been wondering about language study, because as a VC missionary you basically get personal and comp study if you're lucky and language study goes out the door.  well, he brought up the fact that that needs to be our focus now - the Lord answers prayers. So we have had some pretty good language studies just learning together. and I'm learning concepts that I never got before. It's good cause now I know they will stick.
 
That's been my week. I want to get some pictures out to yall! But know that I love you all soo much and am grateful for the prayers, the support and everything else you give me. If you think you want to write me, please DO! I love letters...and I will write back (just may take a few weeks or so :P) like my dad always says, "the church is true." I know that to be true. it blesses lives, it strengthens faith in ways never before thought possible. it is a true blessing. if you need anything, turn to your Father in Heaven, he will tell you what to do!
