Well hello there! Sorry this is a little later than normal, but today has been really busy!!!
So first of all, one of our members found a house for us to live in, in Somerton (that cuts out of 20 miles of driving = YEAH!) The mission has been looking at it and they offically signed the contract. It is SUPER nice, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and pretty pretty pretty....and across the street from A, one of our investigators. Well, transfers are coming up so they weren't even going to move us in until they saw if we were going to stay down here. BUT, 3 days ago my bike broke. I was just riding down the road and a few of the spokes broke and the rim is all bent (but I didn't die!). So I am going to send my bike up to Tempe with some members to the bike shop and they are going to fix it. (for FREE! name that movie cristy :D) So anyway, long story short, because we don't really have miles, and because I have no bike, they are going to let us move into the house on Wednesday (even if it is just for a week and a half) But I am super excited to live in Somerton!
So we found one of the people that we were teaching, G. He is the one that just invited us in to his house and totally felt the spirit. He works in Phenoix during the week so we can only find him on weekends. Well, we had a lesson with him on Friday and one on Saturday. We taught the restauracion about Jesus Christ and Prophets and Joseph Smith and President Monson. When we told him that there is a prophet on the earth today he almost started crying! He asked if we had a picture of him and Sister B had a picture glued to her planner, He got his camera and started taking pictures of him! It was so precious! At the end of the lesson we really wanted him to pray....but he wouldn't do it. So, better than nothing, I helped him and he repeated what I said (the time after he prayed on his own...YES!). But in the prayer I said, "Help G to know that these things are true"...when it was his turn to repeat what I said, he said....."I already know that these things are true." It was so funny. He is awesome. Hopefully I will remember to send a picture of him :D He is so READY! we just need to get his family on board.
Well, tomorrow we are having an activity here in Somerton (they usually have ward activities down in San Luis beacuse that es where the capilla is). Well our goal for dear ole Somerton is to have its own branch one day. So we are trying to reactivate members and find those prepared people to teach! It is super exciting to be working here in this area right now.
Hmmmm...what else. We had exchanges (well not really). One of the Sisters from Tempe came down with us for a day. It was so fun. Her name is Sister Thompson, we were actually both in the MTC together. It was nice to hear that we are doing things right. As a trainer I have really been trying to let Hermana B make the decisions and let her think something through before I help her. And sometimes she gets a little frustrated with me for not giving her the answers right off the bat. But Sister T said that is exactly what I need to be doing. It was really nice to have her here to help Hermana B understand how things work better, that I am not just making these things up. It was really good :D
Well, I have to get going. P-day is officially over in 4 minutes. Love you all. Thank you SOOOOO much for the package with letters and supplies and goodies in it! I love you all so much! We don't know the address of our knew house quite yet, there is no mail box in front, so we think it is going to be a P.O. box. So I will let you know as soon as I find out. Transfers are on the 19th so I hope we are going to be staying. If there is already mail on the way, some elders are moving back in to the other apartment, so we can get the mail from them. LOVE YOU!!!!!! SO much!!!
