Todo esta muy bien aqui en Woodbridge. Hemos tenido un semana LOCO. Como siempre. Pero me encanta la vida de ser misionera.
But
really good good good week. The work is rolling right along and we are
talking to everyone we see. We had a training at the beginning of the
week at district meeting on how important the people in our immediate
surroundings are, how God litearally places them there, and if we don't
talk to them, we are doing the work of God a diservice! So we got fired
up on offering the gospel to every single human, and it has really
changed the week. I just feel happy when get to share the gospel. This
morning we saw two hispanics when we were on our walk, so you know we
talked to them and we even set up appoitments! Mostly it was lucky we
both remembered our tags! Life is just happy when you talk about how
happy the gospel is, you should all try it :)
This week we were so fired up about talking to
everyone that when we were stuck in HORRIBLE traffic (we are super duper
close to DC so the traffic gets really bad here) we decided to roll
down our window, and would you guess, there was a hispanic right there
in the car next to us! We chatted and invited him to church, and even
threw him a pass along card. The next time we stopped we were next to
another hispanic, so you know we just continued the pattern. Hermana
Collins thinks I am nuts sometimes, but she goes with and and we always
have a good time!
We have been blessed to mee some really gem
humans here. The other day we were knocking doors and this guy just
stuck his head outside of the window from the 2nd floor and then we
proceeded to teach him the restoration from the lawn. We call him
window popping Juan, he is a gem. We aslo finally got to meet with a
family yesterday that the other sister had been teaching and they are
GOLD. We taught them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and we had a
member with us, who pretty much taught the whole lesson, invited them to
church, and the whole nine yards. They are so prepared and asked
really great questions, and with a fuerte member friend, they are going
to be solid. We are so excited for them!
The fouth of July was pretty darn good! The
morning started off with a classic Breakfast with the ward. There is
nothing more rich than the Hispanic 4th of July Breakfast complete with
tortillas and beans and even pupusas. Also donuts and orange juice and
all that jazz. They played country music, sang the National Anthem, and
even had USA trivia. We were in heaven, it was just so classic. Our
Bishop is hilarious, we were sitting with his sons, and we were all
dying at his trivia questions, which he ended up not even knowing the
answers to. So good. Of corse we dressed in red white and blue, as I
demanded, to get into the spirt and we had a pretty successful day
contacting and even had a couple of lessons! Sadly we didnt get to see
fireworks, but we did have some glow sticks the grandma Jane sent me, so
we had a good time.
I started studying the Doctrine and Covenants last
week and I just can't put it down these days, the history of the church
is so cool. And all the revelations for us today, I mean we are so
blessed. I am so so grateful for the truths that we have here on the
earth today!
Mostly things are good here in the Woodhood, just
working hard and loving being a missionary as always, and just trying to
find all my cute humans to share the happienss with! I love love love
you all the most! Have the best week :)
love, Hermana Riley Jane
