HOLY. What a week it has been....SO much has happened and so much is happening this week. Life is not slowing down! First of all HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Turkeys and food babies and family.
*** GOT BAPTIZED! Solid highlight of the week. *** is just one of a kind. In all the pictures she doesn't look too happy but she was all smiles on Saturday! Every time anyone would ask her how she was feeling she just said "I'm just jolly!" hahaha earlier this week she gave us a good scare when she sent us a text that said that the doctor put her on bed rest for 3 weeks. (*** had surgery a few weeks ago) But when we visited her she said, oh i was just kidding I wanted to scare yall. OH GOSH ***. The baptismal service was so good too!! Everything went so smooth and the spirit was so strong. Just another one of Gods choice children entering into the covenant of baptism. It was such a blessing to be apart of it.
When President James, our branch president, confirmed her a member and she recieved the Holy Ghost he gave such a beautiful blessing
This past week we were invited to our very first meal appointment in Demopolis!! We hardly ever get meal appointments, unless they are with Elder and Sister Jones! But a less Active family invited us over! They live in a teeny tiny town near Demop with around 2000 people. They live in an 1830s Antebellum home and give tours year around. Their special time of the year is Christmas where they decorate 22 different types of Christmas trees and have other amazing Christmas decorations. The city of Greensboro pays them to have tours. They gave us a tour and dinner and WOW IT WAS AMAZING. So many neat things. They live here in Alabama during the year and they have a summer home in Idaho they live in too. The ****** are super into family history work and all 16 of Brother ******'s great great grandparents crossed the plains. They took a massive piano acrossed with them!! Some how the ****** have inherited this piano and I got to play on it. Even though it was way out of tune it was so prettyyy!!!
Another not so highlight but important and sad part of the week was that the other sisters in our area got in a car accident!! We both have cars thankfully but they got it a bad accident just this past week. Luckily we were not riding with them or else someone would have gotten hurt but they are okay and so are we so we have alot to be thankful for! So most of this week we have been giving them rides around when they arent biking!
Funny story of the week: Sister Danes was teaching about the Book of Mormon to this random guy on the street and she said "Think about your favorite book..." she was interrupted when the guy started laughing and said "Think about my favorite BUTT???" hahahaha I was laughing so hard but trying to keep the spirit there. This is why missions are the best.
I wish I had more time but we went to the Birmingham Zoo with our Zone and that took up alot of time so this will have to do for now!
To finish I want to share my thoughts on something I have been thinking about for a while now and that is the priviledge it is to be a spanish speaking missionary here in the states. Specifically in the great and beautiful state of Alabama because that is where we all know the celestial missionaries go. haha but really. This week I read in D&C 90:11
" 11 For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his own tongue, and in his own language, through those who are ordained unto this power, by the administration of the Comforter, shed forth upon them for the revelation of Jesus Christ.
This revelation will come to pass!!! EVERY man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in their own language. That is why we are here. Not only to proclaim this gospel to those whose first language is english but also to those who speak spanish. I love being a missionary. I love being a spanish missionary! This is Christ's gospel. I love it!
Continue being STEADFAST in Him!!
Steadfast in Christ
