Hey my little freezing family :)
haha I cannot believe how cold it is up there in Idaho and Utah!!! What is going on?? Well let me tell you. It's like 30 degrees here at night and that is just not fun to be in a skirt and on a bike. Anyways, this week has been like the worst haha well, not the worst, but we just had barely any lessons. We DID have some little cool miracles though with just doing TTI's on the street (teach testify invite). We got two new investigators that seem cool. However, they are never home and we thought they were super interested...so we'll see what happens with them.
My favorite investigator in the world is FINALLY getting ready for baptism!! He's been taught for like 6 months and has had like 2 baptism dates but he just never gets baptized. His name his Jorge and he is the BOMB! He's like 37 ish, has a little 6 year old girl who is the CUTEST thing in the world and she loves me :) So, Jorge has been drinking and smoking most his life but he is super nice and funny and has TONS of friends. Super social. We committed him to stop drinking and smoking and he hasn't done either of them in like a week! He says that he doesn't even feel like he's having withdrawals. SO AWESOME! He's such a stud. He has a date for Feb 16?? Somethin like that...and he went to church for the first time in 6 months and loved it. Better yet, his daughter LOVED it and wanted to stay and sing more primary songs haha, she is so dang cute :) So that was a good thing that happened this week.
hahaha ok, so this one time we were just biking and trying to find a new investigator. We saw these two kids just playing in the front yard and the mom came out to get them back inside. She was just going about her business and slowly getting her kids to come inside...and then...she sees us...biking towards her... and she just SPRINTS! She grabs her kids by the neck and just runs inside and slams the door shut. hahahaha I was just DYING laughing. Oh my gosh, funniest thing ever. People go to some serious extremes to avoid us. Love it :)
We didn't eat anything crazy this week, SCORE! We actually have had the most delicious mexican food in the world this week. Some members are just the greatest cookers in the world. SO GOOD! I love the members in this branch like crazy. There are like 12 families in the branch and they are so awesome and united! I LOVE THEM! They are my family. I don't want to leave them. They are what keeps me going.
That's all I have to say this week! Nothing too super cool happened. OH!! GUESS WHAT! I got called a lazy American girl. YEAH! Seriously. This hispanic, Imelda, she is becoming one of our investigators...well she is an investigator but doesn't really know it haha...anyways, she is kinda crazy but cool at the same time. She has good standards and tries to live a good life. BUT, this one day she looks at me and says, "are you lazy? Because EVERY american girl is lazy and they do nothing all day." She was mostly joking...but not really. Hna Sanchez was just laughing it up. Ridiculous. yeah yeah, SOME American girls are lazy but NOT ME! sheesh, rude. haha that's ok, she's super cool still. But I did have a minor outburst after with Hna Sanchez about how I'm not lazy and how there are tons of American girls who are hard workers. It was kinda funny. I haven't gotten that upset since being here in the mission. Weird!! It felt good ;)
ok, gotta go!! love you all! Have an AWESOME WEEEEK! STAY WARM!
Love,
Hermanita Daly
