Dear Friends and Family,
I always start off by saying that "this week was one to remember"
or something like that, though the only thing that remembered my week
was my journal. HAHA There wasn't too much that happened.
One big thing that happened was our mission said goodbye to
President and Sister Smith, and welcomed another President and Sister
Smith! We had the opportunity to welcome in the new Mission President
and His wife and get to know them a little more. He seems SUPER
energetic and crazy! I'm excited to get to know him a little more. :) And
sister Smith is VERY quite and calm. They are a perfect pair for each
other! And I think that we are going to enjoy them a lot out here. It
was a humbling experience for me to see just how humble of people they
are and it was nice to get to know them. :) We will miss the old
President and his wife, though its going to be a blast with the new one!
This Sunday we also had an investigator at church. Domingo is his
name and he is 17. We love him and were supper excited that he wanted to
come to church! So when we showed up, there was another less active
member who was there named Robert. In the same grade at Domingo. We got
super excited cause Domingo would have a friend to talk to his age
instead of sitting next to a 70 year old woman! HAHA So we approached
Robert and asked him if he knew Domingo before we introduced them, and
when he found out who he was he went off about how big of a trouble
maker he thought Domingo was and how bad he was at school. HAHA So we got
a little worried about how the friendship thing would work. Though to
our surprise, Robert helped him feel welcome! It was great. :)
I wish you all a Happy 4th of July!!! I envy all of you who get to
watch amazing fireworks and have a blast, though I'm a little prideful of
the spiritual fireworks that us missionaries get to set off every
day!!! Totally kidding. HAHA We can all have spiritual fireworks :0 And I hope you all enjoy your week!
I love you much! :)
