Trio Time

I'm so happy to be out here, for real. Sometimes I think about all the stuff I'm learning and it kinda feels like I just want to take it all home and apply it right now, but I kind of have to calm down, and refocus, and then it's great. I love it. 

My new companions are Hermana Kaaa, and Hermana Vergaray. Hna Kaaa is from Hawaii and has been out 9 months and Hna V came out with me but I'm a month older. We live in a house which is awesome, and the area is pretty small but it has lots of Hispanics. The move was crazy. I'm a little scared we left Rancho a mess for the sisters coming in, but I'm sure it'll be fine. Life is good :)  I'm loving the trio.

This crazy Bulgarian lady we contacted took us to her house and fed us this gross milk and powder stuff, but then gave us apples and bread from Trader Joe's haha so it was good. She takes care of old people, and it was just kind of sad to see people as old as they are, and know how much the Lord loves them, but they don't want the gospel. The one lady was really straight forward and told us Joseph Smith must have made it all up.  The other lady wasn't super coherant, but had lived in Utah and been baptized once, so who knows. Another lady who was older than they was really sweet, but I don't know how much she actually cared. We're going to get her a Book of Mormon though. I just hope she can read it. 

This week was crazy. We met a guy who had gotten out of jail recently and he had been in for 18 years and 2 months and it was so spiritual. It was just a contact, and we had a member with us and our appt fell through and she was like let's just go tracting haha, so we went and contacted this guy, and he had read the Bible in prison for years and was very well versed, and everything he believed was basically what we believe, but he wasn't sure about accepting the Book of Mormon, But it was so amazing to see how peaceful he was about having been in prison for so long, and he was really into obedience and change and the Lords will and it was super spiritual and we all cried a little bit. It's crazy as a missionary how much people will tell you. But we gave him a Book of Mormon and he was kind of like ehhh I don't kno,. maybe, ehhh, non-commital etc etc, but I looked him straight in the eye, and I told him That this book is true. I know it's true. Please read it. You have to read it. And when we were leaving he said he's going to read it, so I hope he does. I really hope he does. 


A group email I sent didn't work.  Idk why, so sorry about that.  LOVE YOU
