Hermana Murphy: LIT WEEK!!!

hey!!!!!! this week was lit. lots of pics coming 2 u. so apparently im not doing a very good job at writing these emails. sorry to all my fans. ill do better. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

this week we did lots of fun stuff. we had HERMANAS CONFERENCE and it was the BEST DAY EVERRRR. we went in WORKOUT CLOTHES and learned about being healthy on the mission and eating good and exercising good. and we did some spiritual stuff too. all the hermanas that are going home gave trainings. it was so fun to see everyone!!! it was the first time ive seeen everyone since the hurricane, which was SO LONG AGO.

ok so now that i know all of our investigators i can say stuff about them:

yesterday we had 6 investigators at church!! MIRACLE! jessica and one of her sons came (the one who is weird about being baptized) and she was saying to our other investigators "espero que nos siga visitando!" LOL so basically she thinks that shes a part of the church now. we had a fuego lesson with her this week and brought a member and he talked VERY FIRMLY about how she needs to be baptized because her other baptism isnt valid. haha. luckily she didnt get offended. but i think shes beginning to understand

we also had farah and her son come to church and farah is SO COOL! the hermanas found her before i got here and taught her and her husband a few times and she is so golden. she reads the book of mormon like a MONSTER and literally gives better explanations than i can on the chapters that she reads. and she had 3 jobs, but she just lost her job that had her work on sundays, so shes free now from work on sundays WOO so she can come to church! shes sooo cool

we also had lizzette come and shes the sister/daughter of 2 recent converts and shes come to church like 5 times and is super cool, but she doesnt want to accept a baptismal date yet but we're working on it. shes going out of town on august 4th for like a month so WE GOTTA BAPTIZE HER BEFORE

brenda also came and shes the friend of a member and she has come like 5 times but all before hermana mcdonald got here so she had never met her but she came and apparently has a lot of interest and so yay! it was a good day at church yesterday

this week we also had a COOL lesson with some old investigators. we found this teaching record from 2006 and it was for this couple that almost got baptized but then their friends said some stuff about the church and they decided to stop listening to the missionaries. but we found their teaching record and decided to go over and it was kind of hard to find their house but we found it and theyre GOLDEN! theyre named ramona and vidal. theyre preeetttttyyy old and dont remember a lot of what the missionaries taught before but remembered that they went to church like 5 times. we asked ramona if she goes to a certain church and she said no, because she doesnt think that any of them are right. and we asked her "how would it feel if you found the true church?" and she was like "it would feel like the end of a looong search..." and then we just TESTIFIED about the church and she was getting so excited and we gave her a book of mormon and she was like "really!!! for me!!!!!" it was so cute. theyre so goooolden

we also have an investigator, maria, who is the mom of a recent convert and she wants to get baptized and she just has to get married, and she wants to get married, shes just super busy and here in puerto rico to get married you have to get blood work done and stuff and THIS WEEK SHE WENT TO GET THE BLOOD WORK DONE! and she has to get married within 2 weeks so EXPECT A WEDDING COMING UP SOON! #waptism

we are still working with arleene and we just havent been able to see her because shes been sick and stuff but shes still on date for the 28th. woohoo!

yep it was a pretty solid week. we have a pretty FIRE teaching pool. rio grande is super great. and milza abed and shauri got baptized!!!!!!!!!! yeeeeeet. GO CABO ROJO! GO RIO GRANDE!

idk if this summary of our investigators will be interesting to anyone else LOL but this week we didnt have anything crazy happen. just lots of good finding and teaching. haha. and today we went to el yunque for a zone activity! it was so beautiful yay!
