Haha, I did survived the storm! It was pretty crazy, but I enjoyed it. It reminded me of home. :) I'm so happy to hear you're doing so well. It makes me so happy. Yes, my companion is going home on Wednesday. :( My new companion will be Hermana Veazy.
Odlanier is doing great. He has a baptism date for August 17th. He wants to get baptized, but we're working on getting him to understand that this is the only true church and that he needs to know that before baptism, because he can't just get baptized because he knows it's a good thing and his wife's a member. Tomas is also doing just fine. As far as I know he's still getting his patriarchal blessing in August. Hasn't missed a Sunday yet! Veronica is good as well. I was actually on an exchange with Sister Franco last Saturday and we went over to her house and she told us that her parents don't want us teaching in the house, because she lives with them. The mother told one of Veronica's kids, Shayden, that she's not allowed to read the Book of Mormon. I was a little heart broken, but as we talked to her, I just asked her questions - how she was feeling, what she knew and what she wanted. She knows the church is true without a doubt and she told us she is going to live her own life. The next time we heard from her, she told us she wanted a blessing because she was driving her kids to Mexico for 2 weeks. She mentioned that she had talked to her mother and I guess laid down the law or something. And so Elder Fulmer and Elder Cuevas (district leader and his companion) met us there and gave her and her kids a blessing of comfort in the garage. This was on Friday, during the crazy storm. Haha, we had to put our shoes in the dryer when we got home, because yes, the streets were flooded. It was super cool and Veronica said she felt so much lighter afterwards. She said she would go to church on Sunday, but she never showed. That was a little heart breaking, but what can you do... Oh, and Marissa...yeah, we haven't talked to her since. She's never home. :(
Oh, can I get a picture of my plague or what?!
And of your river trip, of course.. :)
Love you!!!
What???? Where are the pictures of Olan Rogers???? I really like the skirts, by the way. :) Thank you. And yes, I can still wear an 8. 8 or 10. Not a whole lot happened this week. I emailed dad a little bit about our investigators. My companion, Sister Holland, is leaving to Missouri on Wednesday, and so my companion will be sister Veazy. Not the most excited about it, but it is what it is. I always have the Lord by my side, though, so it's all good. Since I've gotten my transfer information, though, I've been feeling slightly depressed. Just feeling inadequate, invisible... It's just been hitting me hard lately with this transfer ending. I know it's Satan trying to get the best of me, and I can get through it, it's just hard at times. I really love Sister Holland and I'm going to miss her a lot. We a kindred souls in a lot of ways. We already talked about going to New Orleans together sometime after I get off my mission. And then she's going to come to Florida to go to the beach for the first time, and I'm going to go to Missouri and she's going to teach me how to go cow tipping! Haha. I've just felt very comfortable being myself lately, the same goofball that I've always been - and I feel like I have to give that up again. I don't know sister Veazy that well, but from what I've seen she's a little miss perfect type, and that intimidates me. But I'll be okay. I'm made of something stronger than Satan would have me believe.
Keep praying! Everyday! Multiple times a day! Do what you have been commanded to do, be a good girl, and leave the rest to the Lord. I love you very much! SEND ME PICTURES!!!! Oh, and you will be getting my SD card in the mail soon, so don't freak out. There are some crazy videos on there that you should probably just watch and get a chuckle out of so you can know that I'm still me, but you probably shouldn't put them online. Haha.
LOVE YOU!
