Hey Family!!
This last week was just incredible! I was able to get out a lot, the health in my companionship is doing great, and we taught and visited a lot! It felt so good to be useful! I'm grateful that I get to teach the lessons in English, it'll help me once I get to speak Spanish again. Because before I didn't really teach lots, I hid behind my trainer and other companion because I was so insecure. Now, I don't have the option! I feel like I'm really growing. Turns out Heavenly Father is a pretty smart guy for putting me here. :) I actuallly even asked for one more transfer here...there is just SO much work to be done and I want to be a part of it! It's amazing how little or how much you can get done within 6 weeks. I am really in love with trashy Sunnyside. :)
We took Annette Hood out for lunch the other day and we bagged up in endless laundry to do at our place, her laundry hasn't been done in who knows how long...we have to wash it 3 times... We went to this place called Navy Seafoods. GAG ME!!!!! First, I hate anything that comes out of the ocean. And second, I don't trust anything kind of seafood in Sunnyside. Their main fish was catfish, which is like the cockroach of the rivers. I was really sweating bullets, thinking I would have to stomach seafood. But then I saw they had cheeseburgers! I was still nervous about it but hey, it's better than fish. So I ordered that. It was the most pathetic cheeseburger in the world. Blake wouldn't have even eaten it, it was THAT bad. So I ate my greasy fries and sulked, I also enjoyed seeing everyone else's faces as they ate the fish and what not. Fabulous. :) At least Annette loves it, right? That was an adventure. I only had two bites of my burger and felt sick the rest of the day/night. Never again...
So yesterday we had our break-the-fast after church, it seems like we have a lot more people present at church on the first Sunday....wonder why.... BUT!! Guess what?? I now have 4 investigators!! AND they all came to church and loved it! I was asked to lead the music in Sacrament Meeting and they all walking in during the first song. The Elders Betts and Cooper saw me beaming and turned around to see them and they did a little high-five. We have great Elders in our district! Elder Cooper makes rockin' banana muffins and Elder Betts plays the guitar. He was actually playing it at a dinner appointment that we all had, it was just background music but he was playing some Joshua Radin and Black Bird. Made me really miss Scott and Brad.
I love ya'll and I hope I hear from everyone soon! I got dad and moms package!! Thank you!!!! I wrote a letter to dad...I haven't sent it yet, I'll do that today. The package was JUST what I needed!! I need to hide my cashews so Sis. Mekini doesn't eat them all! I hope ya'll are having so much fun this summer and are being safe! Lots of lake trips? :)
All my love,
Hermana Florence
