Familia,
This week has been okay. Really slow, a lot of our
appointments ended up bailing for one reason or another, lots of people are
having family emergencies. But Millie
and I were both a bit sicker this last week, so we got some time to rest. Which
was good and much needed. But due to that, I really don't have any good stories
about people we visited.
But Wednesday we had a mini bday party for millie, so that
was fun. She made herself a cake and decorated it. I watched. I'm a bad
companion, but she was having so much fun. . . I just let her do it. :)
Thursday or something we got a note on our door that we
can't park in the parking lot of our building anymore because the bank is
foreclosing on it. soo. . That means our
apartment is probably next. Millie and I get to go apartment shopping this
week! Yay!
Saturday we had an appointment with a man I met in a park.
We met him in the same park, which is in the middle of la selva (super
mexican), and cars kept slowing down and trying to figure out why this guy was
meeting with two white girls. But it was okay. He's not super interested, but
it was still a good lesson.
Sunday something pretty cool happened. A little bit of
background for the story. . . On
Wednesday or something Millie and I were looking for some inactive members and
some former investigators, and we tried an hermano who has a nonmember
daughter, who i've tried a couple of times but they are never home. They
weren't home, and it was one of those apartments where you have to get buzzed in
to even get to their actual apartment. Millie wanted to leave them a note, and
I was hesitant, because who knows if they'd even get it, we'd have to put it on
the front door to the whole apartment building. But we did. And they actually
got it! and actually responded! Sunday morning the hermano called me and told
me he got our note, and asked what time church started. and they came! This is
a 3 part miracle. part one- they got the note. part 2- he called! Thats huge,
btw- no one ever calls us when we leave notes. and part 3- they came to church
and we were able to set up an appointment with them! YAY!
A member gave us an eliptical and a stationary bike
yesterday. So I'm gonna try to start working off some of these tortillas before
I get home. :)
And this morning. . . I walked out our door and heard some
people talking in Spanish to a member kid, Frankie, who lives above us. Frankie
doesn't speak Spanish really well, so I tell them, and they come down and talk
to us. JW's. It was kind of a hostile encounter, cos I told them our whole
building is mormon, and they got like all defensive and I got defensive. . .
but we took their paper. And they didn't take ours. It was Millie's first
encounter with the testigos, and she thought it was super exciting. :)
Sorry for the boring week. We'll try to do better next week
and have some more adventures!
Love you all!
Les Quiero,
Shaelyn
