We
missionaries just had a breakdown in the Family History Center about BYU vs
UTAH for the Las Vegas Bowl and Bronco leaving................
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
We are all
BYU kids haha.
Ah man what
day is it so I can pray really hard, and be really obedient? HA HA ;) Missionary power!
I
have a feeling I am leaving Manteca too..... we’ll see next week what is going
down for my last transfer!! I am just flying through this whole mission
deal. I got a lot under my belt already. I also had some pupusas
under my belt. Our whole ward is from El Salvador almost, and so we ate
some deliciousness yesterday. We are definitely going to that El
Salvador restaurant in Provo pronto! Sooo good!
This
week was fun. I found out that Manteca does a light parade, so I got the
sisters together and went and talked with everyone. It was a good
contacting opportunity. I felt like I was in Richfield, physically (but
not spiritually haha). It was like a contacting crash course, person
after person after person, with no break. Both of us had to sit in the
car for a few minutes and relax because it was a little brutal. But we
shared the new Christmas video with a lot of people who really will watch it I
think! But some people are meanies.
I decided that I am going to retire to
Manteca! You can come with me if you want.
Cxxxxs
Jr. is doing so awesome. He has been going to seminary every morning even
though he is probably really tired from all his practices! I am so proud
of him! His family means so much to me! We actually started
teaching his grandpa who refuses to read from the Book of Mormon, so I brought
him the General Conference issue of the Ensign. I snuck a look at him in the
kitchen and he had already started reading it! He is going to get
baptized someday - I can just feel he sees it! That was exciting this week.
I
have been awful about taking pictures.... sorry. I want to do a picture
of the day from here on out, so hopefully next week will be better!
I
loved the Christmas Devotional. I just feel like I could feel that light
after watching it because I feel like there is just an increasing tide of
evilness lately. Exxxxo has been complaining that our choir doesn’t
practice enough, and then he saw the Christmas devotional and was awed more
than I have seen him awed before haha. He couldn’t stop talking about the
Mormon Tabernacle Choir, so I think we are not going to get a break from the, “We
need to practice more speech”!
Exxxxo
has been doing his family history and he got his grandparents ready to be
baptized!!!! wooot!! It has taken a while but we are all super excited!
We
should be talking to Rxxl and Lxxxxe more this week. We haven’t been able
to meet, but a fun little miracle: We hadn’t seen Lxxxxe all week. We were on
the phone with the Elders, when they contacted someone outside that spoke Spanish,
and they were like "wow we have the Spanish missionaries on the phone
right now!! Talk to them!" and she was like, "Hermanas soy Lxxxe!"
It was an awesome little miracle. I hope Mxx is doing well so
Lxxxxe would be able to sleep and have some time for herself! Not that
she wouldn’t give all her time to someone besides herself because she is like
that anyway. Seriously I learn so much from the amazing people that
surround me!
Leilani
is making my trunky planner too so that is exciting.
The
choir is performing on Sunday so I am excited to be a part of that, we have
been working hard.
I
just know my time here is important. I hope that you all can realize your
time is important too, and we should always be trying to be a little more like
Jesus. I would like to invite you to avoid TV or Facebook and study the
life of Jesus Christ instead! The scriptures are amazing, and I can
promise you a beautiful more spiritual Christmas if you do it.
Lots
of love from the Modesto Mission,
