This week was kind of slow and it seems like nothing really happened . . .
so I'll start out with the bike stories!
On Saturday we wanted to go to the Relief Society Conference and we thought
it would be broadcast at the stake center. We got there at 6 and there was no
one there! So we called everybody and their dog, and someonstreet finally told
us that it was being broadcast at a different stake center w a mile away. So we
had to bike all the way to 2280 South! We only missed the first 10 minutes,
we're speedy :) But on the way there I was thinking "Man, that street looks so
familiar . . ." and then I realized it's where Randi Redden's grandma lives! I
was like, "I watched General conference there last year!"
On Friday we left our bikes in the church because we were taking a member
to a few lessons. We tied them together and left for an hour. We got back and
the bikes weren't there! I was like, "No! Anything but the bikes!!" So we
circled the church and finally found them in the kitchen. They were tied
together and there was a note . . . the elders changed the combination to our
bike lock. We figured it out pretty quick. It was the mission goal for baptisms
for the year. Now we always have that number in mind everytime we unlock our
bikes! But seriously. Those elders.
I got letters from Sarah Bragg, Stephanie Crandall, Hermana Hansen (She
addressed it at "Hermana Braggster. It made my day), mom and dad, Jentry, and
the 8-9 year old girls in my home ward (thanks Sister Stoker!) It made my day.
One of the girls said I was the "luckiest missionary in the world."
This week we had a lesson with one family, Claudia and Ernesto, which was
so good!! We took a member couple with us. Claudia wants to get baptized so bad,
but Ernesto has to get divorced and then they have to get married. Ernesto
doesn't want to get divorced because then his property in Peru will go to his
ex-wife instead of his kids. But we taught a lot about the restoration, the
priesthood, and how the Book of Mormon is the evidence we have that this is all
true. If the Book of Mormon is true, then everything else falls into place.
Ernesto was tearing up, and everything was just perfect. They have a little two
year old girl, she's so cute! Hopefully by February they will be able to get
married and be baptized.
We are focusing a lot on getting our investigators to Temple Square for
General Conference. So we get to be on Temple Square on Saturday and Sunday! I
love General Conference time, it's one of the best times of the year. Especially
on church headquarters. The church is so unified and we have such a wonderful
opportunity to hear from a living prophet and to receive counsel that is
specified for these days. I hope everyone gets the chance to watch it!!
I love you all so much! I hope everyone has a good week!
