This week was awesome! I'm
sending a recording of most of our week, but the highlight was
definitely Bertoldo's baptism! He was a referral from a member who met
him once at soup kitchen, they don't even really know each other. He's
62 and super sweet. He told us that he thought that being confirmed and
getting the Holy Ghost would be like having a dove on his head, and his
testimony was all about the Book of Mormon. He's read half of it in a
month! And Joanna finished the Book of Mormon this week! I attached his
testimony too.
Friday we had lunch at the
Buffet with Luis Vasquez and Hermano Chavez. They're so sweet too. Last
week we got two referrals from Luis's, and one of them is the little
brother of a guy in YSA. He came to church on Sunday and he's so
prepared and has the strongest testimony already of God and Jesus
Christ.
On Tuesday we joked that the Valentine
YSA sisters should move into the empty apartment next to us that used to
have elders, and then a few days later they moved in! They were creeped
out by one of their neighbors on the other side of Madera so the Zone
leaders told them to move. It's so much fun to have them right next
door.
Transfer Calls were on Saturday!! The
Valentine sisters came over and we ate watermelon while waiting for the
call. Sister Rhodus is leaving and going to the ward where the mission
president lives! She's training a new missionary, Sister Dixon is
staying and training a new missionary, and Sister Feldman and I are
staying! We're the only companionship in the zone that wasn't affected
by this transfer call, kind of crazy! We're so excited to just keep
working hard here in Madera.
This week I found a
new favorite scripture: Romans 8:38-39 (last two verses of the
chapter). Absolutely nothing can separate us from the love God has for
us. He has an infinite love for us and no matter what He's always there,
and Jesus Christ knows everything we're going through. There are so
many incredible ways God and Jesus Christ have shown their love for us,
and I would invite you all this week to look for those ways and the
little things in your life this week!
Quotes of the week:
"I be trippin with Alma!!" (A member we're teaching )
"I be trippin with Alma!!" (A member we're teaching )
-"Saturnino, you're the best!"
- "Yo se que si" (Yeah, I know), really nonchalantly
Palabras en espanol:

Aumento, mico, armazon (all parts of glasses, frames, lenses, and the little frame on bifocals)
Love you all!
