Family!
It has been a wonderful week in Texas.
The blue bonnets are blossoming! The
weather is getting really warm -in the 70s and 80s, and all of a
sudden one day we looked around and their were blankets of blue
bonnet flowers everywhere! No wonder Texas is known for its blue
bonnets..
This past week we also had an
incredible day where it was 80 and suddenly got really cloudy and
gray and started raining and hailing for about 15 or 20 minutes, then
cleared up to the warm 80 degrees again! Texas is a fun place!
Mom, thanks for your package! The
homemade cookies are so great! They have been enjoyed and shared, and
there are more that are waiting to be enjoyed in the freezer. Mmmmm.
I'm also so grateful for the face wash, etc. you sent! Thank you!!
This past week has been a bit unusual.
Going to the capital with the K Family last week was fun! We have had
several wonderful lessons with wonderful people. Also...On Wednesday
morning we found out that all four of us sisters in our apartment had
lice. ...yikes! On Monday night Sisters L and R (our housemates) had
a suspicious that they might have it... So we figured we should all
check. Luckily we called Sister S (our mission president's wife) and
she told us exactly what to do! So unfortunately we spent that day
shampooing with special shampoo, combing each others hair and getting
all the lice out, washing all our clothes, sheets, etc again, and
vacuuming. A true Texan experience!
It was such a relief to get back to
work on Thursday. Sister T and I both noticed that although we were
being productive and were busy on Wednesday, something was missing!!!
There is such a special spirit that comes from being dedicated full
time to sharing the gospel. A day without that made the contrast of
the special spirit that accompanies us to share the gospel and the
satisfaction we find in doing the Lord's work even more clear. What a
blessing to be a missionary!!!
We received our transfer calls last
night! Sister T and I are staying and receiving a new companion! We
will be in a trio! The moving elders showed up at our door one day
with a new bed! We thought that either one of our beds was too
old...or that maybe they had found out about the lice. When we asked
them why we were getting a new bed they told us there would be a trio
in the apartment. They then asked which room was Merrilltown's! Last
night it was confirmed by the transfer call that we are staying here
and receiving a new companion!!
I love the people here so much! The
investigators have been progressing! I am so excited to help these
people continue to prepare for baptism, and to help them prepare to
receive some of the greatest blessings they have enjoyed up to this
point in their lives!
A is being baptized on the 12th of
April and I am so excited to be able to be here! Do also agreed to
pray and ponder about being baptized on the 26th. Ever since the
first day we talked and she pointed out to us that she hadn't been
baptized by priesthood authority, baptism has been on her mind a lot.
I have been in this area for... almost
6 months now? And I feel so blessed! I love knowing the members here!
(and Sister T and I can find our way around easily now!) I love the
investigators here and I look forward to meeting new people! It's
especially hard to explain how much I love the converts here. This is
such a wonderful area to be serving and there are so many miracles in
store.
Life is so good!
I hope you each have a wonderful week!
Eu amo voces!
