Familia,
Well. Its been another week. Don't know what to tell ya.
Tuesday we went to a training meeting that was insanely
insanely long. We were at the Naperville stake center from about 9:30 am to 4
pm. It was cool, got to learn a lot of good stuff. and see some friends. But it
was also weird because of all of the people I didn't know. I guess I'm to the
point that I'm so old in the mission and been in the same spot for so long that
I don't know anyone. Nearly all of my friends have died, or are dying within
the next few transfers. Its pretty depressing.
Thursday we went on exchanges. Millie went to the loop, and
I got Hermana de Leon for the day. It was pretty cool. Hermana de Leon is from
Guatemala and we spoke nearly only Spanish, which was sweet. We also were able
to find some people I've been looking for for a while with no success. Two part
member less active families, and thus picked up some new investigators.
Hopefully the return appointments we made with them for this week will all go
through! We're really struggling with finding new people to teach. But, we still
are not lacking in appointments. The only thing is that we are kind of just
teaching a bunch of people who are progressing slowly. Still progressing, but
not quite ready for baptism. And I KNOW that there are people that ARE ready to
be baptized, that are prepared and waiting, and that I need to find them.
Unfortunately I just haven't been told how to find them yet. Still working on
that.
This weekend there was a cool azteca festival in Maywood,
which is in our area. We went there to try to make some contacts, and ate some
delicious food and saw some sweet dancing in the process. And then afterward we
went to a birthday party for Cynthia and Alex- some of the Salgado grandkids.
It was a fun night. Lots of food. Jumping in a bounce house. Pinatas. Lots of
crying and hurt kids from too much birthday, getting crushed in the bounce
house, and getting whacked with the bat from the pinata. And we still managed to have some good gospel
conversations. :) Hermana Salgado's sister in law says she wants to come to the
lessons. :)
Thats so crazy that Madi is home. I can't believe it. Also
it freaks me out cos that means I go home soon. But not that soon. Really far
away still actually. Like so far away we really shouldn't even be thinking
about it. Basically its almost like I'm never coming home.
Well. . . I have
nothing else to say. So I guess I'll send you some more pictures!
Les Quiero,
Shaelyn
