Ok, my list this week is iddy bitty... so sorry... But not.. what? Who said that?!
!! Holy mackerel! What would have happened if I hadn't come on this mission?!!! That thought scares me to death. TO DEATH.
A vaya! We had cambios! (changes) and get this! Hermana Santana se fue. But we got Hermana Turley! Honestly, I was so so so scared that our next trainer wouldn't be as good as Hna Santana. So worried. But then, we got Hna Turley!!! and she is from Utah, and she is the best. I love her. she has 9 months in the mission and she has changed my life! Forever!! Ah heck, I don't know how I keep getting so blessed with these companions. I really don't. Hna Merrell is so great too. They both are so AWESOME!!
Waldo is still one of my best friends, he really never leaves me. Meh, it's not so bad. I can think of WAY worse friends to have. WAY WORSE.
We got hair trims yesterday because get this! Hna Turley trims hair!!! How fun?! And free! So i'm being cared for. Dont you worry.
We had a family night with the bishops family last night and his little daughter was in charge. It is so cute how the Spirit affects children. she was talking about missionary work and when it looked like she was about to tear up just a bit, she just broke down in sobs and screams. Too cute! Her little body couldn't handle it! And then she was fine, but really, it was so much cuter than I just made it sound. So much cuter.
I have a quest for you. EACH OF YOU. Mom, Dad, Nate, Hunter, Michael, Isaac, Paige, Ian, Raylee (if she's talking yet). When did you know the Book of Mormon was true? I want to hear your experiences. :) I realized (Hna Turley is awesome) that as members of the church, we can still ask Heavenly Father if this is true! We aren't in a prison! Who knew?! So That is what I want. A story from each of you. :)
Our investigaters are doing awesome. They really are. This area is so blessed. We are working with a family and if all goes well, they can get married on Friday or Saturday and Baptized on Sunday. The mom and the kids are the only ones not baptized. Family Choc. They are so ready. SO READY!! Miracles, guys. The kids are so cute. I love it.
We have another family, Margarita and Rudy, don't know if you remember them... but we are trying to get them married too and possibly baptized this weekend too. Heavenly Father really guides us to the people that are ready.
Speaking of being ready, another word we use is "chosen". This is a toughy. Because why aren't all the people in the world "chosen"? Everyone is a child of God, why aren't they all chosen?!! Well, after a lot of thought, and councel with Heavenly Father, we figured it out. It all depends on the person. Simple as that. God wants to choose us. He wants us to come back to Him, but it's us that put up the barrior. We want what we want, not what God wants. Its the natural man. But as soon as we start asking ourselves and deep in our hearts want to know, that is when we are chosen. I think it really just takes a lot of humility! This message and the Holy Ghost cant penetrate a heart hardned by pride.
Ok, thats all I have right now... I will try to send pictures again! :) LOVE YOU!
Be happy and safe and have fun. :)
Love, Hermana Evans
