new comp is Hermana Medwin from Canada!! |
Not even sure where to start!
Rocio and Uriel got baptized!!! They are so stinkin adorable! Such a
fun baptism. It was a miracle too. They had their interviews last
Monday and they were even more prepared than we expected. They love
primary and young women's. Friday night we took them
to a ward family night and Uriel asked us what would happen if he
accidentally went to the bathroom in the water. We were like uhhhh Uriel!
He said sometimes he wets himself when he gets nervous. It was
hilarious! And explains why one time he randomly got up
in the middle of a lesson and peed in a bucket in the same room we were
teaching. Their house is actually just one room and an outhouse outside.
Not sure why he couldn't make it to the outhouse. But it was behind our
backs at least :) Funny kid.
There was a really good turn out at the baptism and some
investigators too. Uriel had to get baptized twice because his toe came
out the first time. He had gotten water up his nose and didn't want to do
it again. We went around back to cheer him on and
then his uncle Abel came around back and started bribing him with
chocolate kinder eggs. It was actually pretty funny. One kinder egg...
then two kinder eggs.. then three kinder eggs. One of the Elders came
around back and asked if it would help if everyone
left the room and no one watched. Then he was able to do it :) We were
laughing about it a little afterwards. Missionaries baptizing children
for chocolate.
They were confirmed on Sunday and Abel got the Priesthood! So cool
to see him and Santa back at church after being inactive for about 20
years. They are doing so well.
I haven't felt nearly as sick this week and the medicine didn't
affect me as bad as everyone told me it would. Such a relief!!! But I
still didn't want to eat lots of greasy food. One day I felt bad telling
the Hermana so I snuck some of the tacos in napkins
and hid them in my clothes until I made it to the bathroom to flush them
down the toilet. It worked great! She didn't even notice :)
We had transfers yesterday and I'm staying in my area but Hermana
Wilkinson left! My new comp is Hermana Medwin from Canada!! And Hermana
Fowler is now with Hermana Amor in the same ward as me. Hnas Medwin and
Amor are both going home in two weeks to start
school and it sounds like after that Hna Fowler and I will be combining
our areas to finish the last month of the transfer! So fun. Love them
all. Hna Medwin loves to work out too!! First thing I said to her was
hey you like to run right? Yep. Then she asked
me if I liked to wake up at 6 to have more time to exercise. I was so
overly excited! Finally someone who understands. Were gonna be best
friends for sure. She is an awesome missionary and I am already learning
lots from her! Sad it will be short!
Cool thing is it looks like Hna Fowler and I will be companions for a few weeks and it will include Mother's day when we skype with our families! |
Today we had a get together with all the Hermanas from the mission.
Well all 20 of us.
We took lots and lots of pictures this week! Still lots more. It was a fun activity with all the Hermanas! Love them all so much! It was so fun to see everyone and watch some videos and see pictures from all our time together. We have all gotten pretty close and it will be so weird this transfer when 11 of them go home!!! I took a picture with all my companions!
Even
Hna Jones from the MTC so fun to have a chance to talk with her!

Another highlight of the week is being able to share the Because He
Lives video with everyone. I'm so grateful for my Savior and know that
He is always there for me. I feel that I am still beginning to understand
the power and significance of His sacrifice.
Each day I learn something new. He lived a perfect life, facing
temptations but He never sinned. He is the light the life and the hope
of the world. His path is the path that leads to happiness in this life
and eternal life in the world to come. I love teaching
and testifying of Him each day. I hope that everyone can look up the
Because He Lives video and share it this week especially!
Also the Women's Conference was awesome! Learned lots and received
so many answers. So so so excited for General Conference this weekend!
Hope Madison had a good birthday! I haven't had a chance to read your
emails yet but I will print them and reply on Monday!
Have a great week and a Happy Easter!! Love you lots!
