Hola
Mamacita!
This week has been SUPER
fantastic!! (as it is every week!) I love that about what Halie said because it
is so true! Hna. Clark and I have been having a real fun time working together
because we have an excited and happy mindset. At the beginning of the transfer
we said we were going to make a goal to be Productive and Persistent. How were
we planning on doing that? Well, by being happy of course! The work can go on
even when we are dreading it, but it is so much more productive when we are
happy and are enjoying what we are doing!
Last Friday, one of the
Hermanas in our ward had a daughter that passed away. We went by her home to
give her comfort last week and it was so amazing how strong she was! It was so
sad to see her because she missed her daughter so much, but she was still
praising the Lord and was so happy to know that she was at peace. She had a
sing "The Lord is my Light" when we went to visit her. On Saturday,
they had the funeral at a Catholic church (because her daughter and her daughter's
family weren't members) and all the Hermanas in our branch went to our church
that morning and prepared a bunch of food. It was a party! Hna. Clark and I
went to help out as well and our beautiful relief society president turned on
some church music and we all got to work in preparingthe food for the funeral.
The amazing thing was that there were so many to help out and a lot of them
were less actives that we have been trying to visit lately. What better way to
become reactivated into the church then by trying to serve others? I loved it!
We went to the other church so that we could help more and I lead the Hermanas
in singing "Para Siempre Dios este con Vos" for the family. It was so
great to see the love and support that the branch had for this Hermana and her
family!
This Friday we are
having a mission wide conference in Elk Grove because Elder David A. Bednar is
coming!!! We're all super excited!!! In preparation, Hna. Clark and I are going
shopping for new outfits for the apostle today. It's going to be so much fun! I
haven't shopped for anything but food in 6 months! Haha The perks of serving in
the states is we got all the good stores, like Old Navy, Target, and Charming
Charlie's! YES! I'm super excited! It's going to be great!
So I have the picture of
my planning for today. As you can see, it is going to be a great day! Hna.
Clark and I made sure we planned our day as well as best we could so that we
can run around, have fun, and still make it to zone sports because Zone Sports
are the best! Haha Then we are having back to back appointments and a Noche de
Hogar with the familia Claros! It's going to be a great day!!!
Something funny this
past week is that we had zone training. Haha we talked about how we could get
more excited about planning and so we did an activity where we planned our
perfect day, vacation, shopping spree, and shotgunning an area. Hna. Clark and
I planned to go to Disneyland, Kneaders, boating on Folsom Lake, etc. All the
Elders that volunteered to say what they were going to do said, "Oh, well
first we're going to pick up our dates!" and do things with their dates.
Oh Elders! Being the only Sisters in the Zone, I think they sometimes forget
that there are even Sisters there! We don't even think about that stuff, as Sisters
we just want to stuff our faces in with good food and have fun! Haha
Para Siempre Dios este
con Vos
Con Amor,
Hermana Twitchell
