I had my cumplemes on monday! 2 months in Republica Dominicana! We
celebrated with "Dollys" which are a pastry with guava jelly in it.
They're really good :)
I went on my first intercambios (exchange) with Hna. Morgan! It was
fun to have a companion that didn't speak english! Spanish is still
very difficult, but definitly getting better! It is surprising sometimes
to hear myself speak...it's weird.
I was kind of sick this week. I threw up right in front of one of
our investigators houses! I was so embarassed! It only lasted a little
bit though. I'm all better now! I wasn't restricted in proselyting at
all, so I am grateful for that!
We had interviews with President Corbitt on Thursday! He is
awesome. So is Hna. Corbitt! He knows where the Union Station is in
Ogden! That's cool! He gives really good advice, too!
We had two noche de hogar's this week (home evening). The first was
in the home of 3 of our investigators: Nuris, Samarya, and Esagnie.
They are really great...but sometimes a little crazy! Haha. The bishop,
his mom and 8 other ward members were able to come! It was a really cool
thing to see. Nuris was telling us that that morning she was washing
her clothes and one of her shirts had a stain on it that was a cross and
then under that it said "Dios" (which is God in spanish) and then when
we all showed up, it was confirmation to her that our church is true...I
guess whatever works for her. It really is awesome how much support we
have from this ward!
The second noche de hogar was one we were invited to in the home of
a member. We helped them decorate for Christmas and then they gave us
homemade cupcakes and homemade hot chocolate (LITERALLY THE BEST STUFF
EVER. They gave us the recipie, so I'll have to share it with yall later
:)) Then we sang christmas hymns! It was a lot of fun and really
spirtiual as well!
Mariella was confirmed and recieved the Holy Ghost on Sunday! So
exciting! She is the sweetest! We also had a mission-wide 24 hours of
EXACT OBEDIENCE on sunday. President Corbitt said that if we are all
able to do that, we will see an explosion of miracles. We really need to
see some miracles with a couple of our investigators, so we worked
super hard to be EXACTLY obedient!
I LOVE YOU ALL! (We get to go to the TEMPLE! tomorrow! I am so excited!)
