New transfer! I'm staying! Elder Nealy is staying! The chances of us dying together are even more likely now. There aren't many changes in the Spanish work. 3 Hermanas are training, 2 of which are going to be co-training. And that's all the changes. English work, however, is different. Someone told me that all but 10 English companionships are being changed. They are really trying to integrate the mission so there are no more "Carlsbad" or "Anaheim" missionaries. Just all Irvine! Thank goodness there were no Anaheim Spanish missionaries. Or else we might have gotten switched!
This week was really slow for us... We didn't teach a whole lot. Lots of the people that we are teaching are working a lot and don't have any time... And our area here is really small and we don't have many places to go to try and find new people. But, we are still working hard!
We found a new investigator last week! His name is Carlos. We contacted into him and then found out that he lives with one of the recent converts in our area. Jaja with Spanish people, there are always a ton of people that live in one house and sometimes you don't even know who lives there. So, we taught Carlos with the member he lives with! It was a really short lesson, but he has a lot of potential. He wants his family to be closer. His son does drugs and bad stuff and he wants him to stop that too. So, we are going to help him! Yeah! We are going to teach him again tonight, right before English class. Then he is going to come to English class! We're excited.
Super cool experience last night. Do you know what the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) is? It's down by BYU-Hawaii. President Orgill was in charge of it before he became our mission president. So, he asked them to come up here and do an event for the stakes around here! IT WAS SO COOL. They said there was going to be something on KSL about it, so I don't know if you saw it or not. It was cool. We were able to help set everything up too! The dance thing they did was all based on the Plan Of Salvation. It was super cool.
On our hike last week, we just went up some trail. It's called Truman Forest Sanctuary or something. It was fun. I don't know why you think my hair is so dark. I haven't done anything to it jaja. Maybe it was the gel?
Mormon Messages are sooooooo good! You should watch them!
The interview with President Orgill was super good. I really like him as a mission president. He doesn't speak Spanish though :( but, he speaks Tongan! He says the grammar rules are the same as in Spanish, so maybe I will learn some Tongan when I come home ;) jaja. He basically gave me the choice for when I want to come home. He said since the day I would normally go home is in the middle of the transfer, he has the power to extend or cut off the mission by 30 days. I have prayed a lot about it and I think coming home the 16 of October is what I am going to do. But, things could change. He said we could talk about it more in depth when the time comes. That's all for now.
That's so cool that Jaxon was ordained an Elder! He's growing up! Soon, he's going to be in Mexico! Lucky! Then Florida! That's so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha we actually had a Pioneer Day celebration on Saturday! It was fun! We did it as a stake. There was food, games and lots of cool stuff like that. Felt just like Utah :)
Sounds like the mountain trip was super cool! I want to do that one day!
Well, I think that it is all for this week!
I hope you have a wonderful week!
I LOVE YOU.
