this week was good! miriam got baptized!!!!!! woop woop. she was so happy! she got her interview on friday and got baptized on saturday. she was SO EXCITED to pass the interview that she KISSED THE ELDERS. HAAHHAAHAH. BOTH OF THEM. ON THE CHEEKS. needless to say we were all surprised and i laughed SOOO HARD. we need to explain that rule to her. but anyways the baptism was super nice and YES hermana peterson and i did sing a special musical number. NORTHWOOD CHOIR!!!
also BENJI AND JORMA WENT RING SHOPPING. THIS IS REAL. AHHHHH. they went but apparently benji ran away when he saw all the rings.... hahaha. but its a step in the right direction. THEYRE GONNA GET MARRIEDDDDD. theyre so awesome. we had the FUNNIEST lesson with them. we brought bishop cruz again and hermana morales and we were just laughing the whole time. if i wrote what we were laughing about you would all think it was dumb but trust me. it was funny. and they bought us pizza! <3 true friendship
this week we spent some good time contacting. yesterday, literally all of our plans fell through. ALL DAY. it stunk. haha. but anyways we were with members like all day but didnt teach any lessons because no one was home and it was terrible. and at about 8:00 we were like "ok we have an hour left. and this has been a terrible day. we gotta DO SOMETHING!!' so we prayed and got to WORK and did some hardcore contacting and found a family and the dad was like "come in!' and was super awesome. woo! so it was a good ending to a not so good day :)
but really i think the biggest accomplishment that i had this week was that i FINISHED READING ALMA IN THE BOOK OF MORMON IN SPANISH. idk if any of you remember, but i started reading the book of mormon in spanish in my first transfer. and i just read it during language study for a little bit but it has taken a long time. and i have been in alma for literally months. FINALLY IM DONE. it was a good one. but YESSSSSS. so close. soooo close.
we had zone conference this week and it was based on the book of mormon and how to use it better. so now hermana peterson and i made the goal to ALWAYS have a book of mormon in our hand and to try to give a book to EVERYONE. "THE BOOK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!' also one sister shared an experience she had and started out by saying "so one day we were just winging it... by the spirit" and now thats our life theme. thats basically what we're doing in the mission. hahaha.
welllllllll. thats it. have a gr9 week everyone!
