CRAZY busy week this week. It has been so amazing though!
It was Sister Ogles' last week in the mission but she is ready!...I think. She has been such a good example to me, and I have learned a ton from her. She leaves early tomorrow morning. And my new companion will be Sister Vance! Y'all have heard of her before. She was trained in Portales by Sister Slade right before I was, and she came on exchanges with us a lot. I am exited! She is a hoot, and it will be so much fun.
Saturday, was the day this whole week was leading up to. In the morning, we had the relief society conference in Amarillo that I had to translate at. Our cousin Jennifer Kunz was there! She took pictures to post on facebook for mom. It was so fun. Translating was hard, because they use vocab that I just don't even know, but I survived and the Spanish people understood, THANK GOODNESS. The activity was fun too, and they made cafe rio for lunch. HALLELUJAH. It was sooooo good, I felt like I was back in P-town for a bit:)
Saturday night was what this week was allllll about. Drum roll please....Janie and Doug were Baptized! After 40+ years of meeting Mormons and hearing about the church, they finally got to take the step towards having an eternal family! Oh man it was fun. They were the definition of GOLDEN investigators! They have been so prepared, and I just got lucky to be able to teach them:) The ward loves them, and they are well taken care of now. I'm requesting a year in advance to come back out to the mission after I get home and see them sealed:) Please?
This week was full of storms! Hail the size of baseballs around the "city" and rain that felt like bullets while biking. It has been crazy. Just pray that the town doesn't get hit by any lightning or tornadoes. That would be scary!
I turn 20 next Monday! (hey siblings who don't write, I love you so send a sister a letter please:)) It's crazy how fast time is flying by out here. I just want to soak it all up. The blessings of missionary service are huge. Some days I just sit at my desk during studies and wonder how I was so blessed to have this gospel in my life. We are all blessed and we need to share it with others. There is not a soul who is not searching for it! It may take their whole life to accept it, maybe even more, but they will. So get out there and offer it to them!
Love you all!
