Hey there heyyy.
So yeah, thanks for all the birthday wishes, it was fun. I mean as fun
as it could get on the mish, but whatev. next year fooo shooo. or we
could just celebrate when I get home.
The branch actually threw a nice get together for me, we ate, and ate,
and ate... nothing new goin on here. but they are really nice, just
not the support that we need. Haha hopefully they'll learn soon what
service they should really help us out with. but I did enjoy the
little mermaid cake. Also my district leader let everybody know I was
turning 19 years old. Everybody was confused. We just let them be
confused.
I'm gonna tell ya a little story. The first day we got to our
new area, like a million years ago, I was talking to this lady, and
the bus ride was seriously like 2 hours long, so we pretty much talked
about everything. I shared with her about the gospel, obviously, and
left our number with her before we went our seperate ways, she said
she didn't have time to listen to us, but maybe one day. On my birthday
we were walking home, and I got a text message from a number I didn't
recognize. and it said "happy birthday and keep doin what your doing,
spreading the word of God, and he will bless you, you are great, and
thanks for your spirit". I was like, "hey thanks, who is this?" and
she was like "Gina from the bus the first day you got here". It honestly
touched my heart, first that she would actually remember my birthday,
and second that her heart is opening up. I know one day she will be
open to hear and accept the true gospel.
Also, I got a nice phone call last week, from my convert Roger in
Liberia. he was like hey happy birthday and guess what, I recieved the
Melchizedek priesthood on Sunday. I was soooo happy!!! he only got
baptized a month ago! He was so prepared, and he really understands
the power and authority he has as a holder of the priesthood, which
makes me feel so good about how the spirit works in each and every one
of us!
Seriously, even though we didn't have a lot of success this week with
my comp still being sick and all, I did see a lot of miracles... not
just here, but from my old areas as well.
Claudia from Concepcion, the lady that we were working with so that
she could enter the temple after like 15 years of not being able to
enter, she called me and let me know she got sealed to her husband
about 2 months ago, and wanted to thank me for helping her in her
spiritual needs durning the difficult times that she has had. And that
she goes every Saturday to the temple because she understands the
blessings that she can and will recieve. we cried together. she's the
one that reminds me of my mother :)
One night, before going home, we decided to go to the super market to
buy stuff to make breakfast the next day, and as we were standing in
line, there was this man infront of me, and I caught him lookin at my
name tag, and I looked at him and smiled, and he was like, are you
elder? uhh no, I'm a sister, but yes there are elders, and he was like,
haha yeah I know, just kidding, I'm a member. but inactive, but you can
come visit me maybe one day when I have time, so just call me. I was
like, uhhh oh ok sounds good. he will come back, I know it.
ok, so every night when we have to call the elders to give our numbers
of the day, we like to tell jokes, and I'm gonna share one with you
right now. you'll die. I'm still dying.
"WHAT ANIMAL HAS 2 FEET THAT ARE GREY AND 2 THAT ARE BROWN???"
An elephant with diarrhea!! hahahahahah
