busy week as usually so i will quickly update you on a few things:
1. We received a referral for a woman who wanted sisters. I called her and she is from Thailand (Her name is Cherry). We are teaching her on Wednesday so it should be interesting!!
2. Salvador and his son, Josue, will be baptized on Sunday. They are soooo excited and Salvador can hardly wait to get the priesthood. His mom, Clementina, still isn't sure. But I think that she will be baptized as well. They will have their interview on Tuesday night so pray for them please!! They have changed so so so much and have a beautiful light. Salvador heard a member sware the other day (I didn't know because I don't know all those words in all the different countries. Most of the time a blessing.) He was really confused at first, but then replied that we all have things we are working on. Yeah! He is really understanding the purpose of the Gospel.
3.Armando is still excited to be baptized, but didn't make it to church. The member asked him to wait on the corner, but he got scared of waiting to long so he moved. The member couldn't find him and he never got to church :( (People wait on the streets for people to pick them up for a job, but it is illegal and the police will get you and deport you. The nature of our work here in Oakland.) So we are teaching him how to use the bus and all should be well for next week.
4.The Daboin family is still really struggling and we are doing all we can to help them. We finally got a lesson scheduled with the father for Wednesday night. Pray the spirit will be with us. We and they really really need a miracle. And the Gospel can keep their family together.
5. Transfer calls are this weekend, ack! I do not want to leave this area, but I don't think I will. I am praying Hna Tanner and I can be companions for her last transfer. Who knows?!
6. I am learning so much from the mission. I think I really have learned about patience and humility. I know that will probably make you all laugh, but I think I am slowly improving. There are so many amazing and humble people here and they serve so much. I Know God loves them as much as he loves me. And he wants them to have the Gospel so much. We have to humble ourselves each day to ask forgiveness and what an amazing experience to feel clean from the atonement. Being a missionary is the best thing ever and I love seeing peoles lives change every day-including mine. Helaman 13:38. I know this Gospel is true and that is blesses us so much.
7. I LOVE YOU all!
Keep me updated with pictures too.
Love ya, Hermana La
