HOLA TODO!
So today I hit my 17 month mark as a missionary! Aka I come home in 30 days, WHAT?! But luckily the work has just been booming, so it's a nice distraction from the "trunkiness".
Ok so remember the Jehovah Witness we were teaching? Kristina? Well we're still teaching her, and every single time she prays, she always says "Dear God Jehovah". Well this past week we had a lesson on reading the scriptures and prayer, and when she went to say the closing prayer for the lesson , and she said "Dear Heavenly Father" !!!!!!!!!!! It was an easter miracle!!!!! haha so that was definitely a highlight.
Something else that happened this week was we walked our 9 year old investigator Lucius to church this sunday. His family didn't want to come but he did, so we parked our car and walked the 2-3 blocks with him to church. He was pretty bored during sacrament meeting, so i whipped out my planner and we played tic-tac-toe and dots to keep him busy. On wednesday we had a lesson with him, and he said that we were his favorite missionaries. So i guess you could say i can return home with honor now. We also started bribing him with chocolate. So each time he reads the commitment we gave him he gets 2 pieces of chocolate, or whenever he says the closing prayer. It's going SO good hahaha
Also, our ward is like a military ward, so a lot of the time the husbands are always gone/deployed. And this past sunday, i kid you not, literally every cchild was crying and screaming, and all the moms had to keep going out into the hallway and all these kids were running everywhere, and the bishop got up to the pulpit and said "I just want to thank all the mothers out there for all that they do, they really are something amazing" it was so sweet. But yea it was a sacrament meeting to remember for sure ! ;))
Ok well this week we have zone conference and exchanges, so i'll give my departing testimony then and say a ton of goodbyes. It's so crazy! but i love y'all mucho and i love being a missionary!
