¡Hola Mamacita!
Wow, it's been a long
time since I've talked to you. Has it really been three days!? :P things are
still going pretty good. So funny story, Hna Vergaray has been driving the past
week so that she can get familiar with the area. Since then I haven't been nearly as car-minded
as I used to be. On Friday, I had a
thought popped into my head that I should check the gas gage in our car. I shrugged it off, "eh, we'll be fine,
Hna Vergaray can see it." The
Elders in our ward had a baptism on Saturday and we were heading over a little
bit early so we could set up. We were stopped at a stop light, then it
turned green and we just sat. I asked
Hna Vergaray, "Why aren't we going?" She said, "I can't, we ran out of
gas." Oh jeez. So I told her to put
it on neutral, but before I could even get out to push the car, a friendly,
older man came by and said, "stay in the car! I can push it!" So he
pushed us to the side of the road and then down the road towards one of the gas
stations. After a few minutes of being
pushed, Hermana Ivarra came in her truck and tried to help us. We didn't want
the man to push us all the way to the gas station because it was still a little
far. So Hermana Ivarra left us to go get a jug of gasoline. Then she came back,
filled our car, and we were able to drive to a gas station and head over to the
baptism. It was pretty embarrassing. We ran out of gas on a main road and everyone
at the baptism had seen us. The Jardines were even there as well... We got to
the baptism late, but we were there just in time for us to see them get
baptized and for us to give the missionary moment. Everything worked out in the end, but it
would've been a lot easier, had I've just leaned over and checked the gas gage
the day before. Oh well!
We had a pretty good
Sunday, though! Church is always great! If there's one thing I have gained a
testimony of on my mission, it's the power of attending church! I love church!
It really does help to set the mood for the week and to help us to feel the
spirit!
Para Siempre Dios esté
con Vos
Con Amor,
Hermana Twitchell
PS tell Grandma that I
am thankful for the snowman decoration she gave me, I forgot to mention it in
