Awesome week

April 13, 2015

Hola Mamacita!

This week has been pretty awesome. Haha we had so much fun with Hna. Burke's birthday, the best part is that we're not companions and therefore I can be a little more sneaky. :P Hna Flores and I were able to heart attack her apartment and Hna. Flores made a sweet planner cover. 

Well, you know, I didn't really do anything for Easter, it was pretty much a normal day except for the fact that we had conference. Which is always a great day.

Leslie lives in the Spanish ward but she also goes to the YSA ward, she's pretty awesome and she's been out with us to visit people a few times. I don't really care if I have a card or not. It might be nice, but whatever. :P 

Health wise, I think I'm the healthiest person in the whole mission! Haha well, maybe not but I haven't gotten sick. I think it has to do with the fact that I kind of grew up here. :P I know Hna. Burke, Flores, and Greenfield have not been feeling well...I don't know what's wrong with me, because I feel great!

This area is a lot different from my last area. In my last area I could go on without speaking English if I really wanted to, there were so many Hispanics! Here, I'm lucky if I speak Spanish! There are so many white people, it's just scary! :) The other day we were phone-booking (looking in the phone book for Spanish names and hoping they speak Spanish) and we came across a Russian. huh? Haha they didn't speak any English so they said "Have a good day" in a heavy accent and slammed the door. Aww, but before we left I had to take a picture with their chicken that was in their front yard; he was pretty cool. :P 

Because the mission office is in our area, we've stopped by quite a few times. We always talk with the senior missionaries and they are awesome! I just had to take a selfie with Sister Ficklin :)

We finally got a new investigator this week! My first one in the area! His name is Al, he's 75 and from Spain. We brought a member out contacting and we almost let him go because he spoke perfect English and is white, but then he started speaking Spanish to our member and we realized that he was from Spain. OH! I'm not sure that we'll go too far with him because he said he'll never read the book of Mormon and that he only believes in something if someone witnesses it and then tells him in person. In other words he doesn't believe in the Old Testament and most of the New Testament, but he believes in God and Jesus Christ. Ummmm it's quite interesting.

Well, we're hoping we can find more people because right now we have one investigator and we can't find her. Ummmmm... hurray for Spanish work in Carmichael! It's a lot harder than in Sacramento stake, but it's still just as fun! :D

Para Siempre Dios este con Vos,

Con Amor,
