So today we went to another city to visit people in Hermana
Johnosn's first area. It was interesting. But there is a family where
this Sister, is from Utah. She's super nice! And has a really
interesting story. She is from Alpine and served a mission in Uruguay
and met a guy from Paraguay named Mahonri Moriancomer (the brother of
jared) and then she came back and had a lot of impressions she needed to
marry him (I guess there was a long distance relationship somewhere )
and I dont know all of it but I know she struggled a lot with the
decision but knew it was right. So they got married and they live here!
And she just had a baby! She's so amazing, she struggled having a baby
here and was saying she just got over the home sickness but its hard to
be away from her fmaily. I dont' know she was just really cool and her
baby is adorable. And she said if I need anything she's going to Utah in
June :) haha But yeah..
Oh! so Pedro got
baptized this week! Saturday! It had been raining all day (I LOVE the
rain sooooo much. I just love rainiy weather! ) and he had a boy scout
thing so we were worried he wouldn't show up to his own baptism. But he
did in a T-shirt and basketball shorts!! We told him to bring and wear a
tie and white shirt... 12 year olds!! haha But it was good we actually
had quite a few members show up! And yeah. He looked really happy after
and felt good. I have been trying to remember my own baptizem this week.
Especially because we have a thing that the President gave us to do
when we teach Less actives. We use steps from Alma 5 to remind them of
their baptizem and changes they made and how they felt. So I asked
myself the questions. And I remember a lot of what happened but not
really how I felt. It's interesting to remember.
This
change went by so fast! I fell like the MTC went on forever but this
has just zipped by! I'm excited and nervous to find out who my next
companion will be! To see how she will do things. I've learned a lot
from Hermana Johnson. She's helped me so much to step out of my comfort
zone. At times I don't like it at all but she'll just smile and stare at
me... until I say something or go contact someone. She's tuff but I
know its good for me. It's interesting this week so many people have
complimented me on my spanish. On lady inparticular, Hermana Bordon she
is Pedro's grandma and a fisty, cranky, super nice and sometimes scary
lady.Lets just say she is sweet unless you make her mad then watch out.
And she's short ( incase you were wondering) But I read some scriptures
and after she just looked at me and said Wow! the gift of tounges is
really with you. And some other stuff in spanish. Then Hermana Johnson
said how's mine and she was like..eeehh. haha it was funny. But just to
have it come from her was really cool.
And eso no mas... It was a good week :) I'm so excited for conference!!!! and cant wait to hear what you think!
I love you all so much!!
Love Hermana Sarah :)
