1.HOT: Ok, i just need to address that is it 70 DEGREES outside!!! I can actually feel the warmth of the sun!!! Its amazing, i almost forgot what its like to be warm enough to feel your appendages! Ahh man i just have so much more energy in the sun! Woohoo for sping coming fast!!! I love it!!
2.GNI: So sometimes we are exhausted. And sometimes we need to remember that we are still 20 year old girls. So sometimes we make a big pot of Kraft mac and cheese and give each other facials while listening to Steven Sharp Nelson play the cello. Sometimes we do these things at 9:30 at night. Sometimes its a really good girly night and exactly what we need:)
3.TRANSFERS: Transfers are this week on Thursday and President Jensen has told us that "Hermana Smith is a goner" so I will be getting a new companion this week and i find out who she is tomorrow so you will hear all about her next week. I am so sad to lose my Smithy but she has been here for 6 months and that is far to long and this is her first area so she need to spread her wings and fly to a new home! I am super excited though, I love change and sometimes i wish i could be transferred every transfer but i would run out of places to go! haha oh well. Esta bien!
4.JESSICA: Jessica is our main investigator right now. At first we were teaching her boyfriend and then she joined in too and she is so great! She has a boyfriend that is from Honduras and she has two kids that are the cutest from previous relationships and she is pregnant with her and William's baby. And boy she has got a busy spring coming up! She is having her baby on April 8th and then marrying William on April 14th and then she is working to be baptized on May 14th! She has got a lot of good things coming her way and we are so excited to be helping her! She is amazing!
5.BRI: So we are working with the sweetest little 8 year old to be baptized. Her mom is a member and she recently has been reactivated and so Bri really doesn't know anything about the church so we are teaching her so she can be baptized soon. So they always sit next to us at church and yesterday during testimony meeting she was playing on her moms phone instead of listening. So i told her that she should listen because its really important. Then i told her that she could go up there if she wants and bear her testimony. She asked me what a testimony is and i told her its things we know are true. She said like 1 +1=2? I said no, things about God. I asked her if she wanted to go up and she said yes. So i asked her what she knew about God and helped her write a short testimony. Then she went up there and bared her testimony for the first time. I felt like a proud mom! She sat back down and i gave her a hug and told her i was proud of her and asked her how she felt. She said really good! I told her thats because she did something really good. Bri is so awesome!! I just love her to death! Its in the small moments like that that i really feel like everything i am doing here is totally worth it.
Anywhoozles, that was my week. I am super excited to hear from you all and i shall talk to ya'll next week! As always LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!!!!
xoxo Hermana Rice
I promise, every other day of the week we eat really healthy...i don't know what happened.
I sure will miss my Smithy!
