Well this week has been pretty crazy and pretty awesome.
Last Thursday I had my last interview with President Matsumori. The new President comes the first week of July and there are no more interviews before then. It was so great and so sad. He is so full of wisdom and I wasn't afraid of getting in trouble this time because we just got to chat and he gave me some counsel as if it was my exit interview and not his.
Friday was a great day! The power was out at the VC all morning - but did that stop us? NO WAY!! We still had our training meeting with all the sisters that morning and it was super sweet - kind of ironic because we talked about how we could improve calling and we couldn't even work the phones that day. Then we had a sweet practice at the stake center (which had electricity) for the Night of Music and Inspiration that is coming up this week...I'm singing a solo. kinda nervous but it will be good. Just singing my testimony, ya know?
That night I got a phone call from our VC Director, Elder Eyring...he invited me to be a VC Trainer! Crazy. I readily accepted because the Lord has given me a lot of craziness in my mission and has always helped me through and qualified me for the work. I'm excited to help out and do what I can! The other trainers who I will be serving with are just fantastic so it will good times!
Our area is doing great! In 2011 some missionaries ran into an elderly lady who was baptized about 20 years ago en El Salvador. We found her again the other day. She is fantastic! Yesterday we taught her and her grandchildren about prayer and both of the kids prayed at the end of the lesson and said they would keep praying. Truly a miracle. The Lord is so good!
Something I'm learning a lot right now on the mission is to talk it out. It truly makes life better and the Spirit can actually abide. But if you walk away, you just feel bad, the person is mad and the Spirit will not be with either of you and than you can't help anyone else.
Kind of crazy but so very true. Try it out.
I love you all! I know that church is true. I got to give some amazing tours at the VC of just people wanting to know about the temple and then asked about the whole gospel. I got to tell Joseph Smith's story twice, in English! Sweet! :D never happens.
Portense Bien! Que nade les cuesta!
