So this week has been full of ups and downs! but mainly on wednesday. So we woke up in the morning found out Obama won... but we went about out day. While we were writing letters to our President Chelsea texted us. she's the girl that droped us. so we were way excited! turns out she was just texting us cause she missed her girlfriend... yup girlfriend... so that was a nice shock! Then we went and had a lesson with Hope! she is so cute and adorable! when we told her she had to move out of her boyfriends in order to get baptized she got so sad and was like, well I guess I could move back to kansas for a few months till we get married... oh my heavens my heart broke! She was so willing but we really didnt want her to move! She said she would try to find a place here.; It was for sure a bitter sweet moment.
Then we went home for lunch and she text us and told us her and he boyfriend were planning on buying a house when they got married anyway and they decided they would do it now and have her fix it up while she lived there! It was amazing! again me and my companion looking like little kids meeting santa jumping up and down on our beds we were so freaking excited!
So we continued our day we were in a great mood ready to knock and find people to teach! so we started knocking... about the 2nd door in this young fella answered... he came our swinging... saying there was no way there was a God cause in bible times they thought the earth was flat and God wouldn't do that to people. then He started saying how we didnt really care about teaching people we were just doing our "duty" let me tell ya what the spirit held me back and let my companion talk cause I was about it go crazy on this kid! so the kid kept that up for I dont know a little over an hour... so went from best day ever to worst day ever real quick!
So yeah that was all on wednesday... talk about crazy emotional roller coaster...
The rest of the week was good.. on saturday Modesta and Angelica got baptized! they are a family my companion worked with before I got here but we changed wards once I got here so I never taught them but I got to know them a little bit. They had gone thru a lot to get to baptism! also on Saturday we went to visit Karm.
Karm is just my favorite, she's married to Danny and has a 2 yr old named Makin. They are the coolest family every. She is also a Colton Dixion fan like myself so we get a long great! She also found me on twitter! so another day another follower. She is so fun and the elders started teaching her. She is probably the person I've met with the most questions. but they are good questions and they can all be answered by the book of mormon so luckily she started reading it this week which was a huge step for her.
Oh my goodness! I almost forgot so yesterday we found out that our branch is bring mentioned to the first presidency this month because of their temple trips and search and rescue program! its awesome they have more people going to the temple each month now then they had going to church 3 years ago! crazy! San Angelo is a great place and Im so happy to be here! We are working with more people but I dont want to bore you with that. Welp have a great week! Love you all thanks for the support!
P.S. im so jealous y'all got snow! go play in it for me!
