Somebody lied to me. They told me California was warm! Almost this whole past week has been 40's :( I am just a baby, but that's cold! I am going to be in so much trouble when I go back home next November! I will need at least four jackets! Utah is FREEZING.
So, a transfer is a six week period in the mission. I don't know how to explain it... Like, Elder Price has been here for two transfers and his starting his third. Meaning he has been here for three months. So, hopefully that makes sense.
This week was a pretty exciting week for our ward here! Last Saturday, we had four baptisms! Four! It was super awesome. Three of the baptisms came from the other Elders in our area and the other one came from the Hermanas. Saturday was crazy! We had one of the baptisms at 12:30, because he had to work during the evening, which is when the other baptism was. Then we had the other baptisms at 6. I never realized how much work there is to do for a baptism!
So, I think I told you about Olga, the referral from the Valdivia family that we had dinner with last Sunday. We gave her a BOM and some other reading materials. We went and visited her yesterday, and she has been reading! She is so prepared. She has a daughter too, who is 18, who is pretty interested in the Gospel too. They both have a lot of questions. It was pretty cool. We are going back over this Wednesday to teach them some more, and hopefully will set a baptism date. We visited her yesterday, and she told us that if we had knocked on her door, she would have maybe invited us in, but probably would have said come back another time. But, because she had a friend who was a member, and invited her, we are teaching her now! I have grown a strong testimony of member referrals and how important they are.
Other than those few things, not much has happened here. The days go by so quickly, and our area is so big! Some days, it seems like we didn't get any work done! But, over time, we are seeing lots of cool things happening. Being a missionary is SO COOL!
So, just during my first six weeks here, I have already doubled my tie collection. We went to say goodbye to Elders Anderson and Morgan yesterday (because they are going back home today), and they gave me like, five ties each! And Elder Price has given me five ties too. I will have to take a picture of my new tie collection, so you can see them all. There's so many!
I really hope Jaxon is okay! I keep on praying for him, and hoping that he will be okay. Whatever happened to him does not sound like fun...
I hope Maddy had a good birthday! I cannot believe she's 12! OMJ! She's old! How does she like Young Women's?
Sounds like a fun play you had! I wish I could have seen it!
You'll have to tell Zack Hunt Happy Birthday for me on Saturday! I saw his picture on my calendar, and was going to send him a card, but I don't have any way of sending one :( :( :( so, tell him Happy Birthday for me!
And, when you get the chance, could you send some more BYU tape? :) haha. You should see how much stuff I wrapped. I saved those two Pringle cans, washed them out and got rid of the Pringle smell, and wrapped those in the BYU tape to hold my sunglasses for when I put them in my bag for transferring and stuff. Elder Price showed me how to make a cardboard case for my BOM and I wrapped that too! When you get my SD card (whenever I send it), you will get to see how cool all my things look now!
That's all for this week. I hope you have a super fantastic week! Love you!
