Wednesday we also had time to work in our area
because there wasn't a lot of people that had temple reservations so Presidente
said we could work in our areas. We did a big contacting thing in our area to
find more new people to teach.. and the elders helped us with that and it was
just so nice to have time to teach the people in our area. Then Thursday it was
just a regular crazy busy day in the temple and our area and then the highlight of the
week was this. So we have a massive crazy intersection street that is the exit
to the freeway that we have to cross everyday to get to the other part of our
area. Imagine me trying to jay-walk the street on like Stapley Rd or something. So we do that do everyday and walk down the median waiting
to cross and this man comes up to us and said in his nice mexican accent
"You speak English" of course I said yes because he looked like an
interesting man to talk to. When we said yes... he pulled out his guitar
that was on his back and starts singing "There were bells on a hill but I never heard them ringing...." yes he sang us the whole entire song from My Fair Lady, right
on the side of the highway street and he was dancing around and singing to us
and it was just the greatest thing ever...this old man in his sequin shirt
serenading us hahahah but yeah HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK DANIEL SINGING TO US! Of
course after we preached to him he starting singing about Jesus but it was
great.... and then Friday.....
So Friday was really busy and in the morning we
heard a rumor that D Todd Christofferson (or how ever you spell his last name)
was gonna come. So we were pretty hyped and hoping he would come in the morning
while we were there but nothing... so it was like 3ish when we needed to leave
and then we got word that security had just arrived and then we saw all these
workers taking fancy food into a room and so we were all like...ahhh he's
coming. So we got permission from Presidente to stay and work and wait to see
Elder Christofferson... he ended coming at around six and it was so great we
all shook his hand in the hallway and I even had a small conversation with
him... it went a little something like this...
Elder C "Hola Hermana como esta"
yo "ah muy bien gracias.... y usted"
Elder C " Muy bien hermana porque estoy aqui en
el templo"
..... yup we had a conversation, yes it was brief
but I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH AN APOSTALE! It was so cool and not gonna lie
all of us hermanas were freaking out and we were so excited! The photographers
got some pics of us shaking hands with him and we are waiting for presidente to
email us all the pictures because he has them all! So yeah Friday beat Thursday as far as being great!
Oh also shout out to Deanna and Maddie for the package; you guys are the
best, don't worry we shared all the candy with the hermanas working at the
temple and me and Hna. Gantz are reppin AZ with our solid AZ T-Shirts! haha
yeah I got the package Friday and then after we met D Todd and were fan
girling(editor: I have no idea what she is trying to say here)...we lost our phone in an gas station type of store.... SAD! But you
know nothing could phase us after meeting an apóstle! So yeah it was great!
Saturday was crazy crazy crazy at the temple but
really cool and I have just met the coolest people and loved hearing so many
peoples testimonies and experiences! Sunday was good we got a big menos activo
family to church so that was good and we just put a baptismal date with their
uncle Miguel he is pretty great with his dreadlocks and all! WE cant wait to
have a baptismal picture with him in his white jump suit and dreads
hahaha!
Today we went to the mercado with all the Hermanas
and it was crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are lucky we were safe because it was kinda
dangerous haha but you know when the lord is on your side! WE were kinda lost
but in the end we were able to get the hermanas their Mexican dresses because
they all wanted one... and yes i invested in a poncho... it is the greatest
and sorry I don't have a píc but next week! And yeah that has been my week!!! WE
are on week 5 of 6 of this transfer and I think I am getting moved out and Hna.
Gantz might have to train.... she will be great! This week is also the last
week of the temple open house so that should be fun and we are all gonna wear
our mexican dresses to the open house on Saturday the last day! WE are working
the night shift and presidente said we might be there till 12 am so we might
all have to sleep at his house... yay sleep over at presidentes house! But this
week is gonna be great and I am so happy and just love Mexico!!!!
