I have so many cool things to tell you!!!! Wooot!
First of all..........we are going to start using Facebook!!!!!!!!!! We get an hour a day on it......probably going to start some time this week. Goodness, that will be so strange :D But I am excited! We are also getting iPads........and want to know something REALLLLLLY cool? Well, we get to use Skype to have members at our lessons.........and they said we could use ANY members...including our family!!!!!! And we can have lessons with ANYONE....even friends from home or wherever over the internet. When they told us about this, they said that it is one of the only unanimous votes from the brethren that there has been in a really long time, and the only comment out of President Monson's mouth was that 'it is about time' ' we just need to trust them.' Well, we will see how this goes, we are still supposed to focus our efforts in our area, BUT, they want us to focus on the people we feel inspired to as well. Should be a really exciting week. Tomorrow we are going to have a training on it or something like that, on how to clear up our Facebook's to make them missionary like, haha (that might take a little work, haha). It should be super cool!
Also I got a super cute letter from the seelos family this last week. They are so precious, and going to Germany, exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad we have kept contact with them over the years, they are a classy family. I love them!!!
Also, I got a letter from Tausha this week too. She and Carson are in Tuscon! So close, but so far. Good times :D
And I have to tell you about 2 families. First J2 y A. We are still working with them...they are being kind of stubborn, but it just feels like they are going to soften up one day really soon. They came to church with us yesterday, and some of their family came too, it was awesome! It was their second time coming to church and they stayed all 3 hours......it was a little long for them, but they stuck it out and I think they even liked it. The members bore perfect testimonies about their conversion stories and finding out for themselves what church was true. Hermana Romano and I bore our testimonies too and A looked like she was fighting back tears. I am so thankful for the spirit! Today at 3:30 we are going to go to their house for p-day to make tostadas with them. J2 just lost his job and their fridge stopped working and all their food went bad and they don't have any money to buy more food.....basically they really haven't eaten in a few days. So we used the excuse that we want to learn to make tostadas (they are always saying how when they get some money they are going to invite us over for tostadas) and we are going to bring the food over and have dinner with them. I am super excited, they are awesome gente!
And, next ready for some drama???? haha....... A and her son A2. A lives with her sister who is a member, hma O. And she actually really wants to be baptized......but...She lives with her boyfriend, husband type person as well. They have been together for 6 years, have 1 kid and 1 one the way.....but they can't get married because he ALREADY HAS A WIFE that lives in Mexico and he can't get a divorce because the wife doesn't want too and because he is illegal and she would probably just turn him in if he tried. And the sad part is is that he and A don't really even love each other, she keeps wanting to leave him because he treats her awful, but she doesn't have a job and she thinks he wouldn't help pay for the kids if she dumped him.....confused yet? Me too. But this is how it goes with LOTS of people here. They are all married to someone in Mexico and then come up here and find a 'new family' but can't get married because they are already married to someone else and then we find them and they can't get baptized unless they live in seperate houses. Oh the life of a missionary :D haha, good good times!!!! But anyway. A and her son are so ready for baptism, we just have to help her figure this little situation out :D
But Sunday was awesome, we had 8 gators at church! It was a good feeling to see them all there :D best day ever.
And we did the funnest service project EVER this week. We gave 5 of the cuttest puppies I have ever seen in my whole life baths:D It was a pretty ruff hour, hahaa. It was so fun!!!!! and the less active lady even came to church that week.....guess we will have to keep going over to play with her puppies if that is what it is going to take :D haha.
Well, I realized something scary this week. I only have 3 transfers left. WHAT????!?!?! My, my, the time does fly. better make the best of it!
