Dear Family and Friends,
This week has been a good one, with lots of happy experiences :)
Monday - It was P-day, and my Birthday!! :D It was a fun day. I was able to talk to the family and then we went shopping, got Coldstone, it was really yummy, and then did the normal house things. We did laundry and I wrote letters and stuff :) That night was tons of fun! We had dinner with the Pratt Family. They are an amazing family!! They also made my birthday extra special :) When we got there they had decorated the table and chairs with birthday decorations and they also made a cake!!! :) It was so pretty!! It was just the girls, so we had a wonderful evening :) They are an older family and their daughter makes wedding cakes, so it was really really pretty :) I am going to post pictures :) That night we also went to a retirement facility, and had a family home evening with the older people there :) It was really special and sweet. I enjoyed it a lot :)
Tuesday - We had district meeting, and did our normal things. It was a really good day. That night, our dinner had forgotten about us so she didn't have any food. It was okay though, the Pratt's had given me a Subway gift card, so we got subway to eat for dinner :) It was good. We also taught the Price family. We read 3 Nephi 17. It was amazing!! They loved how Christ prayed for the people and how He wept. It is amazing to feel the love in this chapter. He cares for all of us and weeps for all of us. It is really special.
Wednesday - We lost our car!! We were going to go drop Sister Hetrick (two week missionary) off at the mission office and when we went to start the car it wouldn't start... So, after some juggling with ways to get to the mission office we finally showed up, just almost 1 hour late, but we were there! Our car had to get towed to the dealership to get fixed, and so we walked the rest of the day. It was a little crazy. We also were able to go to the temple and preform a little service project. There was a sister missionary serving in the Rancho mission who got to have a really wonderful experience. Her dad was baptized about a year ago and they are from Florida. Well, they had gotten special permission to come all the way to California and be sealed as a family together. It was really neat. We were asked to sit with the non-member Grandmother and just be there if she had any questions. It was really nice to just sit in the temple and feel the love of the Savior and be there for that family. It was very special. After wards we went to Kristy's home and taught her and Jay the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My testimony grows every time I teach that lesson. It was really wonderful :)
Thursday - We had weekly planning and then did exchanges. I went to Beaumont and spent from 2:00 on Thursday to 2:00 on Friday there. It was good. It made me realize that I am exactly where I needed to be. I am where I will feel the most comfortable. It was really nice. It was fun to be there. We didn't teach a lot but it was good to just see how other missionaries do things :)
Friday - After we exchanged back we still didn't have a car. We did find out though that if we didn't have our car fixed that Toyota would pay for a rental car for us. It was very sweet of them :) We did a lot of situation everything and just reviewing what we learned from the exchange.
Saturday - We got a rental car!! YAY!! It is a very beautiful 2014 Toyota Corolla. It is amazing!! I have decided that I will never ever drive as nice of a car as I have on my mission. I am preparing myself for when I get back home :P We are also helping Kristy stop smoking, so we went and dropped off candy and cinnamon gum to help her with that. It was really good. We were able to talk with her and see how she is doing. We had written sticky notes with scriptures on them and we posted them all over her home. Well, she decided that she was going to read them (that was the point of them) and that she was going to write on the back of them what she learned from them. It is amazing!! She is an amazing investigator!!
Sunday - We had church and did the normal things. It was good :) We also had an amazing lesson with one of our recent converts!! It was wonderful!!
This week was a good one. I am so grateful for what Heavenly Father has given me and for the opportunity I have to be a missionary, and to learn so much. It is amazing!!
I love you all so much!! Have a wonderful week!!
