#54 - Memorial Day

Setting up flags for memorial day

 Setting up flags.

I realized that this was my first "normal" memorial day. [That means no marching in a parade!]   It's in the 90s and is supposed to be in the 100s this week. Welcome to Fresno! 

This week had intercambios! And I learned to FOLLOW THE SPIRIT. SIEMPRE!!!
Last week, because Hermana deLeon was in Corcoran, we went ahead and did our normal exchanges and decided to do another one this week so she could go with Hermana Vergara. We went down to Farmersville and did studies. Then we went to leave and we couldn't find Hermana deLeon's tiwi (And ID card needed to drive) anywhere. We prayed and searched and finally we remembered that it was in Corcoran, so God answered our prayer in finding it! But we were in Visalia and Hermana Vergara also didn't have a tiwi. We then started to realize that 1) we never prayed to confirm that we had made the right exchanges decisions and 2) We had all had some sort of little thought that morning like, "Maybe I should bring extra clothes just in case" or "maybe exchanges should be different". But none of us listened! The Spirit chastized us..... So we decided that I would stay in Farmersville since I had my tiwi. And that time, we prayed, and looked up a verse in the Book of Mormon, and we felt good about it. That just meant that I got to wear Hermana Smith's clothes to zone conference! Moral of the story though: ALWAYS FOLLOW THE SPIRIT. Since then, in our companionship, we've been sharing every thought that comes to mind, even if you don't know if it's the Spirit, if it's good it probably is. FOLLOW IT.

Zone Conference was incredible! For the first time, we split off into English and Spanish for a few trainings. It was really cool to talk about spanish specific things and use our mission language. And we got a ride from President and Sister Mackay on the way down!

#53 - HELLO EVERYONE!

HELLO EVERYONE!!

We went up to this apartment complex, and Hermana Harris felt that we shouldn't knock on this one door, so we skipped it and talked to some other people. As we were walking back, we ran into two guys and talked to them about the Book of Mormon, and they said that we could come back on Sunday. Then they walked into that apartment that we had been in and we were all a bit confused why we were prompted NOT to knock on it. We came back yesterday and while we were there teaching the two guys, there was another woman cooking and she came out for a bit and had some great questions. We think that she was the only one there before, and she is very set in her religion and probably would have rejected us if we knocked. But when she was just there listening to us teaching about Christ, she was really open to it. And then they offered us dinner afterwords and we have some new friends! God works in mysterious ways!

Also, we had a meeting in Fresno on Friday and I got to see Hermana Oldroyd again! Sorry I didn't take any other pictures, I'll repent and get better haha!

Love you all!
