Doc Martens With The Steel Toe

Hey howdy hello

 

 

This week went by SO FAST. But it was so good! This is probably going to be a pretty brief email because I'm calling my family and writing this at the same time. 

 

 

This week we met with a lot of our friends and ate SO MUCH FOOD. But today I thought I'd focus on the little miracles that happened during the week. 

 

 

This past week my ward (or the congregation of people I go to church with) threw a pachanga (party) for someone in our ward that turned 100. Our bishop asked me and the elders to sing... which we definitely did not wait to prepare until like an hour before the party started... but God really helped us and we sang a beautiful song for Roberto (the 100 year old). And not to mention we ate some dang good carne asada. It was amazing. 

 

 

Okay, okay, now for a cool spiritual moment that actually happened on my birthday!! (Also thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, my 20th was one I know I won't forget!!) After I got to call my family, my companion and I went out to the street to find more people to teach this week. We went to knock on some doors of people we knew were previously interested in learning more about Jesus Christ. Before we got out of the car, my companion and I said a quick prayer that people would be open to hearing our message. (One thing that no one talks about in missionary work is how much rejection we face on a daily basis. It's a lot. A lot of unanswered calls, doors, texts, you name it.) So I really wanted people to answer their doors because it was my birthday. And every single door we knocked yesterday was opened. (WOOOOOHOOOO) A literal miracle from God. And it made for the best 20th birthday I could ask for. 

 

 

Oooo also, let me explain the title real quick. While we were at church on Sunday a lady walked up to me and commented on my white doc marten shoes. She went on and on about how much she loved these shoes, and then told us that when the Lord comes back again, she wants Doc Martens because those things will have lasted until the Second Coming. It was super funny. 

 

 

Anyway, it's getting really hard to remember everything that happens during the week because so much happens during the week... and I forgot my journal today which is my LIFELINE when it comes to writing everything in these emails. 

 

 

I love you all so much. Thank you for supporting and encouraging me out here, it really means so much. I hope you all have an amazing week, I think and pray about you all everyday!! 

 

 

Love,

Haha, okay okay, so before any of you freak out, I AM OKAY. I didn't have a seizure, all is well. I promise.      But this week was LOCO. So buckle up my friends, this is going to be fun.      This past week, I went on an exchange with Sister Warden. (For those of you who may not know what that is, once a transfer we change companions for part of a day just to learn more about how to improve doing missionary work). But for this exchange I went to her area... now I had heard some crazy things about this area, but I didn't really believe it could be THAT crazy. Boy was I wrong. We went to visit someone who told the Sisters that they could come back the next week. Well that week came and it just so happened to be while I was there. Anyway, we pull up to this lady's house, and start walking into the driveway and all of the sudden these two ladies come running out of the house towards the RV that was parked in the driveway. We were so confused, and all the sudde...

BUENOOOOOO!!      How is everyone doing?!?! This is going to be a shorter email again, haha, but I'll tell you some stories.     Also GENERAL CONFERENCE, that was amazing!! General conference is when we get the chance to hear from our modern day Prophet and apostles! They share uplifting messages about Jesus Christ! It was this past weekend, and if you want to know more let me know!!      We went and taught some friends this past week, and we asked one friend (named Walter) if he wants to be able to live with his family forever... AND HE STRAIGHT UP TOLD US NO. It had me and my companions jaws on the floor. But we were able to reroute the conversation and he agreed that he wants to be able to love his family forever. So there's that at least. But it was very interesting. Prayers for Walter would be much appreciated.      This week I tried tacos de lengua (lengua=tongue). It actually was super good!! It was cow tongue!! It was a litt...
