WeekLy uPdaTe.........
Whuttt is up y'all!! It has been a good week! I must thank all of you who
sent me a birthday wish the day of, and the day before! You really did make my
day!! I'm very grateful for all of you!! Also all of you that sent me packages!
Goodness made me so happy!! Tuesday or the day of my birthday was lots of fun!
Nothing too crazy happened! We went to lunch with Elder Bravo and his companion Elder Perkins because it was Bravos birthday as well!! We then went and visited
some people! We didn't have a dinner or anything. But it was still a pretty
good day! It was funny because honestly it doesn't, or it didn't, feel like my
birthday! Haha but I still had a good day! I don't feel 19 yet, matter of fact
I still feel 12.... LoL
On
Thursday I went on exchanges with Elder Bravo! That was lots of fun! He and his
companion work in the YSA wards. Which is the young single adults between 18-30. So
that was solo fun! We taught and met some really awesome people! We had
breakfast that morning prepared by a couple of college students who work for
Disney, they are chefs in one of the really nice restaurants in Disney world.
It was soooo good, they made breakfast sandwiches! Freaking awesome! Then later
on we went to Chilis! That was pretty good! Elder Bravo and I had a lot of
fun! He's a good missionary! There was also a awesome thunderstorm. I love
thunderstorms! There were a couple this week! Like almost one every day! We
have a cool weather app, so I love watching the weather patterns! I guess
during the summer it rains everyday like clockwork! It just gets so hot, and
since the ocean is right there, storms just appear everyday! But any who! I had
a good birthday!
The rest of the week wasn't to eventful. On Wednesday we had district
meeting! That was lots of fun! I gave another training on extending
commitments. Which I was very grateful for the opportunity to give! I learned a
lot! And the zone leaders said it was a good training! That's good! Also all of
the missionaries in our little area have been playing this game called what are
the odds? Basically one missionary asks the other what are the odds that
you.... And challenges him to do something! The other missionary says the odds
are 1 out of 5. Then on the count of three both missionaries say a number
between 1 and 5. If they say the same number, then the missionary who was
challenged has to do it. If they guess the wrong number then nothing happens.
Well I got challenged to drink two tablespoons of hot sauce. Well I lost. So on
Wednesday after district meeting I had to drink some..... Elder Radigan, the man
who challenged me to do it, got the hottest sauce at this burrito place.... Any
ways it was made with some super hottttttt peppers. Like goodness! It claimed
to have been made with the hottest pepper in the world.... I died. Holy cow my
mouth was on fire! The stuff smelt hot. Gooodddddnnnnnessss hahaha I'll send
some pics soon.
Our baptism for Saturday was canceled. We are actually thinking we are
gonna have to drop her. We don't know what happened, but she just doesn't feel
like getting baptized. She knows that the Book of Mormon is true, and that the
church is true. She just doesn't want to get baptized. It's really sad, and me
and Elder Hamp are just confused. We honestly don't know where to go! She's been
going to another church, but she hasn't gone in a while. That's probably it.
But we just don't know what to do. It sucks. oh well!!
Well Sunday was a good day!! Guess whattttt????????????? I gave a
freaking talk! Hahahahaha how about that! The first talk I've given in my
mission! I had to talk about prophets. Holy guacamole was I nervous!
Hahahah it's pretty nerve racking to speak. Because well, it just is! I was
notified about two days prior. So I did my best to prepare! I was literally
almost shaking before hand. I was praying so hard that the Lord would send his
spirit to "give me utterance" as the scriptures say! I just chose to
have faith in the Lord! Literally taking a leap of faith. Well it worked!! I
spoke for 15 minutes, and I really don't remember a thing that I said. I
probably couldn't do it again either! It was absolutely nuts! Like goodness!
Everyone said it was really well done! And the member of the bishopric who
asked me to speak thanked me for it, and said it was very well done! Hahahahaha
WHAT A RELIEF!!!!!!!!!! You see the Lord does answer prayers!
It's been a good week over all, this was the last week of the transfer! On
Saturday we got a call from the zone leaders. And well both of us are
staying!! Yay!! One more transfer with Elder Hamp!! I'm freaking excited!! We
had a great talk on Sunday. We are really kinda bonding! So that's pretty
awesome! Hahaha well I'm very very thankful for all of you who have emailed me
and written me!! It means so much! Every letter, and email truly helps me get
through those tough days. I'm gonna be doing my best to write you all!! Thank
you so much!! I hope you all have an amazing week!! I'll keep praying for you
all!!
Op! Almost forgot to mention, that on my birthday Elder Hamp gave
me the funniest present! Well first he gave me this book he doesn't read called
"the little missionaries book of answers" basically whenever someone
reads Anti-Mormon material that book has an answer for it! I love it! But he
had these popper things too. Yano those ones with the string, and you pull it
and it pops and confetti flies everywhere! Hahah Well he had like 20 of those
things for some reason! And he popped one every hour of the day on my bday!
Hahahahaha every time it scared the crap outta me! Hahaha it was pretty
freaking hilarious!!! Any who! That's all have a good week!!
