So this week was BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am seriously in love with Montebello!!!! It has been a blast!!! We walk a ton, like more than I did with Espinosa, which I didn't know was possible. We talk to 30 people pretty much everyday, and we are teaching a golden family. Also I have made member besties with people that haven't liked the sisters the past few transfers! :)
Last pday I loaded all my stuff into the car, and we took it over to my new home. All the Spanish sisters in the mission were congregated in "the closet". So it was Espinosa/I-Ensign, Gregson/Schatt-Los Feliz, and Allen/Stark Montebello. Yup....There are only 3 spanish sisters areas.... Also, "the closet" is my new home, it is an itty bitty studio apartment. It has grown on me, it's a lot different than the Ensign castle I used to live in. Hahaha. #partyinthecloset
We were walking on my first full day in the area, we stopped to talk to a lady. Her name was Titi. She was also smoking marijuna, and was very forward about it. As we shared with her our purpose as missionaries, to bring people closer to Christ. She got super excited and gave me her phone, and told me to add her to instagram. So I added her on the official Instagram of the church, and a couple other ones that looked uplifting. She went on her way, and told us,"Y'all stay positive ya hear?" We said that we would, and walked away. That was my first Instagram contact....
Dog miracles:
We almost got attacked my a street gang of chihuahuas. Somehow they got totally distracted. Then a few minutes later we were knocking on a door, and we noticed a pit bull. It spotted us and started running towards us. I had a prayer in my heart, I started talking to it, and held out my hand. It's face totally changed and it licked my hand, and rolled onto it's belly. It was such a miracle!!!!!!!
I got called the b word in a street contact this week.....We talk to a lot of nice people, and a lot of really rude ones....
So we were walking down a busy street and we contacted about 15 people, I noticed that a lot of people were staring at us as they drove past in their cars. We continued walking and talking to people, then suddenly someone parked, and started walking towards us. Not going to lie....I was a little worried. Then the lady said,"Sisters!!!!!! I saw you contacting, and I just wanted to ask if I could have a Book of Mormon." Our car was parked pretty far way, so she drove us back to the car, and we got an English Book of Mormon for her, she is a recent RM that served in Nebraska. She wanted to give her friend the Book of Mormon, and her missionaries kept forgetting to give her one!!! It was a miracle, because if she had not noticed us talking to people, she would not have gotten the book for her friend, and we would have had to walk the long way back to the car! Haha.
I found two quarters this week!!!! #rich
We street contacted two old break dancers. They told us that break dancing is back in, and invited us to go to a show....Tempting. Defiantly tempting. hahaha.
We saw a lot a miracles this week. We were able to play nurse to a little boy who fell off his skateboard in the middle of the street, and scratched his leg. We were in the right place at the right time. We talked to a lot of people who were interested in the gospel....To bad they don't speak Spanish, we sent them to the English missionaries, and I'm excited to see what happens!
I've had my work cut out for me. The apartment was nasty, so I cleaned that for a couple days. And then I started working on organizing the area book and traveling area book. It has been fun. It is definitely keeping me focused. President told me that I'm a good organizer, and that is what this area needed. So I am working hard, staying focused, and I'm really happy. My companion is great, and she has been so supportive about my OCD cleaning, and reorganizing, so that is awesome! :)
Also! My friend Jessica Gomez got her mission call to the Kennewick Washington mission!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for her! And my friend Janice leaves to the MTC this week!!! I am so happy for them, and for their decision to serve our Savior Jesus Christ! :) It is the best decision in the world!
I love y'all! Choose the right!!!! Remember who you are! Jesus loves you!!!
