| Pulled over here for lunch and roasted hot dogs |
Things here are going good. We've had a full house
with Sister Vogel being back and having her kids come out to visit.
Sister Vogel's granddaughter Avery is 2 and when I could I had fun
playing toys with her during our lunch. The first night they were over
though, Avery cried the whole night. It was awful! Ha ha.. Definitely
wasn't expecting to be kept up by a baby on a mission. They leave
today though so the house will be back to normal.
So guess what? I'm becoming a trio next week. I'm
being put back with Hna Hammer and covering Los Banos ward ALONG with
Mercy Springs with Hna Odor. I'm excited to be going back to Los Banos,
but of coarse irritated because I just can't seem to say goodbye for
good here in this town. Trio's are a challenge, but I'm excited.
This Saturday
I had to do splits. Hna Odor had a baptism in Lemoore, so I called up
our RS president and she took me out that night. It reminded me of back
at home going out with the Sisters. Very different being the
missionary and not the team-up driving them around. Laura, Kimberly, or
Mom, have you done any team-ups or splits with the Sisters?! If not,
you'll have to. Tell the sisters what day or time you are free and go
out with them! Dad, you can too. You can meet them there or take mom
with you! :) I'm so grateful for the members here who are willing to
help us out and be our family away from family. Let the missionaries
know you are there for them if they need.
The work here this past week has been hard. 4 days
in a row, all our lessons cancelled, members weren't, n one to visit,
our dinners appointments cancelled, etc. We were jinked. So hopefully
this next week will be a lot more productive and exciting.
We do have 2 new investigators though! They just
showed up at church looking for a new religion, so we took them to the
classes and gave them Book of Mormons, and are now going to be teaching
them! President Schofield our Stake President I guess referred them
over. They are his dental patients and so he told them to check out the
church. :) I don't know their names (I personally think it's Rosa and
Conrado, but they say it very Spanishy and fast that I can't understand
them and Hna Odor say that that is not their names and says it one way
but I've never heard of a name like that.) Ha ha.. I will keep you
updated on them!
We have a baptismal date for Maria Orellano for the 30th but will have to postpone that because she didn't come to church Sunday.
She was found back in April/May time. I visited her a couple times
before they split the area here, and now that I am back, we are picking
her back up. She has 3 kids at home living with her (Tim:11,
Michelle:8, and Nicole:3). Maira's brother and sister-in-law are
members it sounds like and so she sees the difference it has made in
there lives and she wants that for herself. She said she's been reading
the BOM and wants to learn more. She is a sweet lady. We are hoping
she went to church this last Sunday in San Jose with her brother and
sister in law so she will still be able to get baptized at the end of
the month. Don't really have any other investigators right now. We do,
but still working with them to see if they want the Gospel or no.
Sounds like you will have a full house for
Thanksgiving! Still not really sure what I'm going to be doing.
Probably just house hopping and eating lots and lots of food.
I love you all SO much!!!! I hope this week is good
for all of you too. I will send pictures next week of Yosemite and
everything else that has happened these last few weeks.
TAKE CARE!!!!!!!!!!!
