We had the chance
to exchange with a couple of sisters this week, one of which Sister
Shattuck is brand new and it is her first transfer! She came to the
spanish area and worked with me! We had a lot of fun but let me tell you
of one experience in particular. It had come to the end of the night
and for some reason I felt weird about visiting the people we had
planned on seeing. We knew this certain family would be home and they
always let us in, but as we got to the stairs, it didnt feel right. I
told Sister Shattuck and we stopped and said a prayer. After a few
minutes of pondering, she pointed to a blue door across the street and
said we should go knock on that door. So, we went! We knocked on the
door, and it turned out to be a Hispanic family! :) but...they werent
too interested...however, I knew the neighbors were formers from way
back before I got to the are the first time and decided to knock their
door as well. The mom was busy but she invited us to come over the next
day. Hna Gonzalez and I went back the next day and they let us right in,
the father called the whole family together telling the kids that we
were going to tell them a story. We taught about the restoration and the
1st vision. The Spirit was so strong and they want to learn more! Ah,
the guidance of the spirit is so cool!
Elder
Johnson of the 70 had come earlier that week and taught the Mission
leader council about being worthy to have the spirit to go and find the
elect!! It was such a testimony building experience to see it actually
happen! :)
I also tried menudo for the first
time... its like soup with cow stomach.. I have never not been able to
eat what someone fed me until that moment.. most likely not a recipe
that I will be keeping! ;)
I love you all! I hope you have a great week! :)
