You know. I met a man that served his mission in Lake Charles, Louisiana like a long time ago! He is super old, but he remembers everything about Lake Charles, and the old church builiding. His name was Elder Peterson for all the old folks that were there when that was happening;) I was so excited to meet him! He is so cool.
This week started off great. We entered into the Docto family. And we never get into their home. Ever. And Brother Docto talked to us and wanted us to come teach the kids about the meaning of Easter on Friday. I was just in awe. I was like: what? It was awesome.
Tuesday was a great day too. We went to Milpitas, and we taught a Chinese lesson. We talked with Mr. P before. He is an Indian man who is pretty angry with God. His Grandson has Autism, and they are praying that he will become "better" but he isn't. So he doesn't believe in God. I told him straight front he was praying for the wrong thing, that maybe he needed to start praying for himself. He didn't like that at first. Haha. But are prayers need to be alligned with God's will.
And then we went to the Chinese lesson. I just sat there not knowing a clue what was going on. It was horrible. But funny. I loved it. I love making up stories in my head trying to see where the conversation is going.
After that we went to Sister Adkins and helped clean her home. She is so sweet. She just loves that the missionaries come over.
We saw Richard also. He is about ninety years old and just goes on and on. I don't think much people go talk to him. I think he spends most of his time on the TV. I hate TV. I walk into a home, and it just gives me a headache.
After we stopped by Sophy Pel's home. She is now our new investigator! She let us in her home and talked to us about how her mom had joined the church. It was a good short visit.
After that we saw Sarika. She still has having some issues, but she is doing better.
On Wednesday, we had Bible Study. And we visited tons of old ladies, and then we taught a portuguese lesson! She complimented me on my Spanish;) Haha. Grrrrrr. I speak Spanish all the time here, so I can see why my Portuguese is mixing. Dangit though!
Thursday was an amazing day too.
Friday was amazing.
Saturday was amazing
Sunday was amazing.
Seriously, everyday was amazing. I was so nervous to lead an area. So I have literally given this area the Lord. I pray for miracles all the time. Sister Yu and I have taught so many lessons, and gotten so many new investigators this week. I am so tired. We have entered so many homes, and we haven't entered a lot of homes too. But I expect a miracle, and if we don't enter a home, I know that that was a miracle because obviously we are needed else where.
God loves His children so much.
I find that with younger missionaries, they don't really see the importance of visiting active members. But I make certain active members a priority. I just think of the Sisters that were always at our home, trying to get me out there with them. Sharing a message, and I am so grateful that they came over. I went to church most Sundays, but it didn't neccissarily mean that I was active in my heart. I am so grateful for servants of the Lord.
I am so grateful for the gospel! I wish I can write more. I am going to write more next week! I am going to write everything down. I just get so distracted! I love y'all so much. Thanks for all your emails!
Te amo muito!
