sooooooo GET THIS!!! Right when I got here my companion was like, "do you know whats crazy is that I saw your picture a couple months ago and knew we would be companions!" sooo then it turned out when we were doing family history that grandma Lucille is siblings to her great grandpa Clarence! We have the same great great grandma Mime! CRAZY RIGHT?! It's been sooo fun because she brought all these pictures of our great great grandma and all these stories! so cool right!!!? I loved Rachel's advice that night at DQ she said. "you will feel the support of your family that has passed on!" We truly have an army behind us because we have the same family!!! It's incredible we were put together for a reason! and we have already seen MIRACLES! We decorated the whole apartment with Norway things! It's so fun! My comp was very serious when I got here but now she's lightened and we are having so much fun!!! and still being serious. It's awesome!! Also in family history I found out we have a MURDERER, A CARROT KING, AND SO MANY NORWEGIANS!!
So we had a miracle week!! My comp is the sister training leader so we had to go to so many meetings this week... we had to wake up so early and drive to Victoria which is like three hours away... I had to drive so she could plan her lesson... it was like a road trip to the ranch! For some reason anytimeI wake up early I feel like I'm waking up for Millhollow... why?! I don't know, that was like 5th grade! and yes we are a driving/ biking area.. we only have a certain amount of miles we can use a month, then we have to bike... dad why did you get me the bike with training wheels, an inflatable tube on the back, and streamers?? That's so embarrassing lol!! haha that would have been hilarious!
Anyway, this was such an awesome week!! Seriously so great! I extended my first invitation to be baptized!! And she actually said yes?!? Who knew?! Her name is Ines. Please pray for her! Also, we invited two other people this week and they said YES too!!! They are both named Jose. Just about everyone here is. We had three people come to conference!! It was the greatest thing ever! I didn't understand much but they sure did! And I'm just so happy!
Oh also mom thank you so much for the blanket! Seriously saved my life here! They didn't have bedding after all so I went and got the cheapest sheets I could find at Walmart... they sort of feel like I'm sleeping in between traps! It's awesome! #camping #gowalmart!
I'm so grateful for you family!! ohh also I'm doing this thing where every time I read the book of mormon I read it a different way! It's amazing! This time around, I'm looking for all the promises and writing them down. Just Nephi alone is like three pages of promises from our Heavenly father! We truly are so blessed! I've been blessed with the most amazing family ever!
love you beyond words!!
