I’m emailing a little late today because we went to the ZOO! Some members drove us, paid, and bought us all lunch afterwards. It was so great. I really needed a way to de-stress this week. Things have been a little crazy.
Baptisms Scheduled for May!
So, lots of cool stories to share this week.
The first one. We were out walking trying to contact some formers, and there was one that wasn’t on the street we thought they should be at, and we were right at the edge of our area so we were half heartedly going to check out the next street. When we decided to stop and buy ice cream cones. Hna Solorzano was trying to pay for mine with her last 2 dollars and I was telling her not to worry about it because I was still pretty rich and had a whole 8. Anyways, the guy working there heard us and just gave them to us for free. MIRACLE. Continue reading “Baptisms Scheduled for May!”
Bicycle Woes…
So, there’s lots to talk about this week, but I will probably forget everything. I gave your phone number to a recent convert in Liahonna third so that he could call Mathew. He’s 11 and going to turn 12 this summer his name is Christian and this is his phone number is: XXX. Hna Lamb and I went over to teach him and his mom because his mom hasn’t been going to church. Continue reading “Bicycle Woes…”
Banjo Hymns = a good time had by all
So, I think I mentioned before that mission wide we’ve been lacking in new investigators and that the AP’s challenged Hna Lamb and I to find 5 last week. Well we totally did. MIRACLE.

Hola Familia!
Not much to report this week. Mostly we just worked at the Easter Pageant. I finally took some pictures for you but I forgot to bring the cord for the camera. Fail. We did have a couple of investigators come to the Easter Pageant which was really cool. Ana came with a lady in the ward, and Daniela came with our ward mission leader’s wife and her two daughters. Ana is getting baptized this Saturday 🙂 She’s really excited about it and we made sure to give her invitations so she can invite her friends and family. Please pray for us and her, because we still need to teach her all the commandments besides the word of wisdom :O
Easter Pageant
I got my package on Saturday. The package of peeps is currently sitting open out on my desk so they can get dried out just enough to the perfect texture. Thanks guys. Ha, and I tried to send Rebekah a package last week but it just got sent back to me. So, I’ll try again, but no promises. The united states postal service and I are developing quite the love hate relationship here on the mission.

Easter
Hello Familia!
You will all be happy to see pictures from BAPTISMS!! So, I already told you about Edwin who is still awesome, and 11. I also think I’ve told you about Santiago before. When I was in Mesagrande Hna Falcon and I taught him the first 3 lessons, most of the commandments, and he got most of the way through 2 Nephi, but he would never commit to a date. Anyways, he finally committed to a date and he was baptized this weekend. Hna Lamb wasn’t feeling well so I went with Hna Tejada. It was really fun being back in Mesagrande, and really neat seeing someone else get baptized in that area. The work there is slow. Anyways, Hna Falcon told me that when Santiago was getting his confirmation blessing he was promised he’d get to bring members of his family into the church, and that he’d be able to help and be an example for his grand kids. He also received the Aronic priesthood and he’s really excited to do the work for his son that passed away. Before he told me that when he would read the scriptures he’d read 2 pages for himself and then 2 more for his son.

dumb pictures won’t work again
I don’t really know what to say about this week. Mostly I’m really tired. I love Hna Lamb but she tires me out. There’s lots of extra things like needing to do her hair in the morning because she can’t with her one arm. We also aren’t able to work as much which is hard for me. Continue reading “dumb pictures won’t work again”

Rachel, how is your new companionship? Where is Sister Lamb from? What is your favorite thing about her?
Hna Lamb is from Panama, but her parents are American. So, she speaks both languages fluently and actually she almost never speaks to me in Spanish, but we’re working on that. Her Spanish was really hard to understand at first because she talks really fast and eats her S’s. I like her cause she’s super bold and we don’t mess around. Continue reading “shooort”
Hey ya’ll
Why does getting married disqualify Rene for citizenship?
I don’t know. I don’t make the dumb laws, and I really wasn’t worried about any of them until David got deported and then all of a sudden it was an issue with everyone. Sheila found out this weekend that she’s pregnant so, that might change things? Continue reading “Hey ya’ll”
