Well I wont lie, This week has been awesomely Terrific. I just love my Companion Sister Reed. She helps me to be the best missionary possible, I see daily the many reasons for being here and being with her. One Example: Saturday we were tracting so we could make our goal of our tracting time. We had 50 minutes left and were finding a new street. We Picked a little dead end street and went for it. The 3rd Door we knocked on was Buddy and Claudia's. Claudia answered the door, and he has a thick accent from Switzerland. We talked for a few minutes and Buddy came to the door trying to shew us away, he is antagonistic so not interested. Well I was very blunt and said "you don't believe in a God, are you crazy" We all laughed and after about 25 minutes we finally got him to take a book of mormon and invited them to church. Walking away I made a mental not of their address because I was going to go back, they are soo nice. Well the next day we went to our early morning meetings Sunday then Ran over to Norma's and Octavio's to wake them up for church. We got back and were greating people and then we see one of the members talking to Claudia and Buddy! We were shocked to see them there. We probably invite close to 100 people to church every week, and I have never had anyone come just because of an invite, Its usually pulling teeth. It was such a miracle, and we are meeting again with them tonight. The spirit really does work when were there and lingers when we leave if they allow it.
Last Monday we contacted a referal from the Zone Leaders. Her name is Joanie. A member had put on a medical form that she was LDS and Joanie talked to her about it and wanted to meet with missionaries. We had our first lesson last monday and Joanie is so ready!! She is praying about her baptismal date of August 11th, we are meeting with her again tonight, she has already read 2/3 of the Book of Mormon and loves it. Every minute of every day is full of gratitude here as a missionary. I seriously am shocked at the many miracles we see.
We also went to a Luau this last weekend and that was a blast. I wish I had pictures. I forgot my camera to that. We also just moved appartments this morning so everything is packed in suitcases or boxes and I have no idea where things are. We are in a much nicer place in town and the appartment is super clean. We had about 10 Missionaries helping us this morning and they were jealous of our new place. Its just amazing to see the blessings we are recieving. We have amazing people to teach the gospel to who are ready to accept baptism. But we are also being blessed temporally with a new apartment and a new car, Which has been such a blessing.
I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week.
Peace and blessings
Love Sister Rose
