Junior Companion

Our investigators are doing great! They're still coming to church and Leslie is planning her wedding (which is going to be sometime this month). Good times!

 

Something exciting happened this week: Saturday, correlation started at 9 in the morning and we had a guest speaker (which we usually don't have), so correlation ended at about 11:30. There was a baptism at noon of one of the 8-year-olds in the ward which they asked me to play piano for, so I did. The service got done at 2. We had an appointment to go to at 2, but when we called her, she didn't answer her phone, so we ate something before we headed over (Hispanics incorporate food in every occasion. It's great!). We got to the place, and it's a lock-out apartment, meaning we need a key in order to get into the apartment complex. We didn't have a key....so we waited for a few minutes and some people came along who did have a key! Turned out it was the husband of the lady who we had an appointment with. He said they weren't interested and kindly shut the door on us. We said, "Well, we're here in this lock-out apartment. We gotta do something with this miraculous opportunity!" We knew there was an old investigator, Ana, in this apartment complex we were in, so we knocked a few doors, trying to find her, and we found her! We were also able to enter and teach her for a little bit while her boys were sleeping. So, that was a cool miracle.

 

Also, on Friday, there was a woman who, thinking we were solictitors, told us we should take off our nametags, and after we left her, we talked to each other and said, "What? Take off our tags?!? This is our lifeblood; our calling; our mantle! We can't take them off!" It was one of those moments that was scary, funny, and interesting all rolled into one little chunk.

 

Transfers were this last week, but I'm staying with Hna. Stanford in Bella Vista. Yay! I like Hna. Stanford. She's fun. Bella Vista's a good place to be, too. We have only a few investigators, but they're strong, and the members are so amazing!

 

I finished my 12 week training program! I am now officially a junior companion!

 

That's all the exciting news I have this week!
