We taught a two hour lesson on Monday. We have an investigator that the Westies were teaching in English. So we literally had to teach him the first three lessons again, because he didn't understand them.... Ijole. So We went in planning to teach him the 10 commandments, and ended up teaching lessons 1 and 2. He loves the church and is ready to be baptized! We talked about the covenants we make at baptism, and also showed him the Bible Video, when Christ was baptized. He is so happy to make this change in his life! :)
So we have been helping a family in our ward move. We've been packing things into boxes...I've been climbing on counter tops to grab things from the top shelves, because we are all short. hahaha. It's been fun. Anyway. So Friday comes around, the day of the big move. Literally, no one from the ward shows up. It's us and the elders, and we both had to leave for appointments. The poor family was stressed out. We called the Desert Inn elders to ask if someone from their ward could help. They called us 2 hours later to say that they had gone to help, and that a bunch of people from their ward were there helping. I'm so grateful for our church family. It was such a blessing. We went to make sure everything was okay, and saw huge families helping move things into the moving truck! I'm grateful and proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
"Hermana I am so full. Thank you so much. But this is Hermana Medina's favorite food. She would love to have more." If looks could kill, I'm pretty sure Ellie's would have killed me. I love mini missionaries.
We had a temple walk with a part member family! The spirit was so strong! I love the temple! :)
I learned how to teach English this week!!!! It has been so much fun! I read the English class handbook, and got some ideas! As we've been implementing it I have seen a positive difference in the class!!! :)
We met a nice old lady. She let us right in, gave us Gatorade, and kissed my cheek like 5 million times. Fat cheeks for the win! hahaha.
We got our carpets cleaned this week. I was talking to Phil, and found out that he worked at the original Nothing Bundt Cakes. He gave me a bunch of tips. I'm going to be a pro cake maker now you guys!
"Can you teach me how to not be fat." Oh elders......
I am so excited! We just got new ward mission leaders. Yes. 2. A couple just got called on an 18 month assignment to be co-ward mission leaders! They are so cute! They just moved from Juarez, and they are so missionary minded! So many great things are going to be happening in Ensign now! I'm so happy! :)
Okay. So the most important and amazing thing happened this week. Omar got baptized!! I saw him at English class, and he was like "are you ready for Saturday?" I was like "um...yeah. are you?" "Yup. I'll see you then." I love that kid!! Satan was definitely working on him, I'm so impressed with his conversion to the gospel! His aunt bore her testimony at his baptism, and said that he told her "Tia. Praying has become such a habit for me. Whenever I forget to pray in the morning my day just doesn't feel right". She also told us how he has been fasting on his own, so he could know for sure this is what he wants. After he got confirmed, and received the Holy Ghost on Sunday, he was like, "okay in one year from now, I want you all here for my mission farewell!" He is getting the priesthood next week! :) Omar is the best!!! I'm so grateful that I was able to be here to teach him! He is one of my best friends! I love that kid!
I love y'all! I hope you are doing well!!!! I am grateful for your love and support! This Saturday is transfer doctrine! Can you believe that I've been here for 6 week!? Crazy!!! #ensign
