HEY FAMILY!
I am super happy this week because I had an
amazing birthday! You are all awesome!
Here is a lowdown of my birthday....
Hermana Cuesta woke me up to "GO DOWN
MOSES" by Lower Lights, which is one of my favorite songs ever on the
mission.
Then we went and played soccer with all the
Elders and Sisters.
Then I took a huge long shower because Hna
Cuesta made me (and I loved it).
Then she decorated and made me pancakes
out of cake batter so they were basically cakes with strawberries and cream
cheese frosting.
Then she serenaded me with her ukulele.
Then the mailman came with my package and I
opened it right then. Then I wore my new clothes :) I love that
shirt a lot!
Then we went out and worked haha. But a
person told me my Spanish was really good so that was a little birthday
present.
Then we had dinner with Exxxxo in a
taqueria!! Everyone was there to watch the Mexico
vs Panama MEXICO
Exxxxo
gave Hna Cuesta and I plants to plant, and then little glass things that he
found at the pulga I think.
That night all the Elders and
Sisters in my district came and sang and surprised me with a banner over the
door! The Elders made me a cake and put dinosaurs all over it. 
Yesterday though, the family Haro bought me a
birthday cake to shove my face into, and I got to be part of the
tradition!! It was on my bucketlist to have my face shoved into the cake
on my birthday so I was a happy camper. I was proud because I dodged the
cake pretty well haha.
IT WAS AN AWESOME BIRTHDAY.
I already lent Leilani my cookbook because she
was really enthralled haha.
I was doing a Family Home Evening with a less
active family with young children, and I was like, “We should play the corner
game”. So we did, and they LOVED IT. Haha I was like, “ya my
parents are the coolest …. they played this game with me too”. It was a
hit!
I am still asking around about big trees and Yosemite and which to visit.
This is not a trunky thought, I just want to
know if I could become a pharmacist through a pathway or something in the Air
Force. Could you look it up for me?
This week was also amazing in the missionary
work part. We have had a SLOW 5 weeks, but we have been really trying to
help our members do missionary work and we are seeing results! All their
friends who see their amazing examples. We are teaching someone named
Lxxxxe right now who does Zumba with the hermanas in our ward. We went by
to see her. She has a 2 year old with aggressive autism. He sleeps
3 hours a day and is crazy active everywhere the rest of those hours. She
is a superhero mom. I could just feel the spirit so strong being in her
loving presence. She wants to be baptized and she has loved what the Hermanas
have helped her overcome. She wants to be part of the church. While
we were talking, her son crawled into her arms..... AND FELL ASLEEP. We
talked for 45 minutes and he was out of it. She said she knew God was
with us because he never sleeps during the day. She said that was the
first time that it had happened. It was a miracle, and it is cool to see
her love and desire to learn. She is a superhero mom.
I am always learning that is for sure, and I
hope you are all too!
I LOVE MY FAMILY. I LOVE BEING A
MISSIONARY.
Thanks for everything!
Peace out ‘til next Monday.
Hermana Sheffer
