Hola todos!! I'm currently starting my third transfer in Crown town USA and I'm hyped!! I also have the best new compa Hermana Longhurst who is gonna make me a Latina because she is 50% Mexican ayoo!
The funeral
It was the CRMs final mission conference with President Watson this past Wednesday. To say we were sad would be an understatement. President Watson has changed every single one of our lives, mine especially. There wasn't a dry eye in the room elders, sisters, seniors, we were all in tears at the "funeral" of the Watson fam. President Watson has taught me so much, but two things have really stuck out to me in his outgoing talk. The first thing he talked about was the importance of staying active in the church as an RM because it's becoming an issue. He said "You have no right to go inactive after all the work the Lord as put in for you to change you. You have no right to turn down the eternal blessings. You have no right to turn your back on the Savior after having a personal witness of his love for you." That shook me to my core. Right then and there I made a promise with Heavenly Father that I would never turn my back on Him or my Savior. Along with those wise words from a very wise man we heard something else that really stuck with me and that was "You are ALWAYS worthy to pray" YOU are ALWAYS worthy to pray to our loving Heavenly Father because it doesn't matter how far you've fallen, the light of Christ will always reach you. That is something I've come to learn these past 8 months on my mission and it is something I will cherish and remember forever. We are always worthy to pray because God gave that gift and opportunity for every single human on this earth. This was a very sad day. President and Sister Watson are some of the most incredible disciples of Jesus Christ I have ever met. I know I was called to President Watson for 8 months of my mission and I know I have been called to serve under the direction of President Hendrickson for these next 10 months. Follow the keys.
Milagros!
We have seen so many miracles this week! God has been providing and helping out our area so much. One day we went out knocking with Edgar (a recent convert) and had lots of success finding new people to teach! It was super good and we were able to get in contact with an inactive member which was really good too! We currently have 600 members in our ward but only about 60 are active so ya we have a massive binder that we call "the black book" cuz it sounds cooler. And we have been grinding through our inactive members and are actually seeing a lot of success! After knocking with Edgar we went home and were getting out of our car when this guy gets out of his car and just immediately starts speaking spanish and is asking if we can help him with his door dash order so we try and help him out and then he is surprised with our spanish and is saying how he wishes so bad that he could speak English and I'm like oh hey guess what we're starting up English classes soon at our church would you be interested? And he was like YES! and then continues to say I've also been looking for a church to go too so boom bam we got his number and are gonna start teaching him english and the gospel!
Did I change my hair or somethin??
Ok ok ok so this past week we went and got boba at this really good boba place although I still miss the one by my home... anyways not the point so we go and get boba and as we're walking out this Asian guy is just staring at me in the parking lot as we walk to our car so I'm like "UH hi I like your hat" and he goes "you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen" I was like oh uh ok thanks and hurried and got in the car. Then the next day we're out seeking and this guy is walking his scooter and walks past us so I try to start up a convo and he just goes in spanish "beautiful woman" i was like bruh what so we just kept walkin and then the next day we are visiting an inactive and it turns into this whole fiasco where the dog gets let out so the brother of the inactive goes to get it and the inactive isn't home so we just are like ok so we stand there for a minute waiting and then just decided to leave and then we see the brother with the dog and I tell him in spanish that we'll come back another day and then he just goes "I love you" I was like oh my no no no and my comp is just dying cuz it was 3 days in a row so ya idk what I did maybe it's just the tag? So funny and yucky gross. My heart is for Jesus.
The painting
So I got my new comp this week for transfers and we get all of her stuff in and there's a little painting and I was like what's this? And she goes oh guess so I'm like idk trying to guess and she goes "it's Nacho Libre" and we just started dying laughing and so now that pic is on our wall right next to our door. If you haven't seen Nacho Libre idk if we can be friends....
