Hola amigos!!
The fourth of July sounds like so much fun. We could hear all the fireworks but couldn't see anything because of all the trees! I hope you have a great time at camp this week. I love that place. I am grateful for our stake property and the miracles I have seen in my life from that place. The Spirit resides there and we are so luck to have it. I pray that the girls will have a spiritual experience because I know you will create and environment for them to feel the Spirit and love of God.
This week has been insane! I left Staunton and am now in Fredericksburg! I am still a STL so I will be going on lots of exchanges because we have other sets of sisters in the zone... making a total of 8 exchanges for the transfer! So that will be exciting. :)
On Monday we went and saw a less active and ate some pizza and said a really sad goodbye haha! But on tuesday we went to waynesboro and found some new investigators for the elders to teach so that is exciting! We also got lunch with a member and ate tacos with our ward mission leader, Ivan. It was sad to say goodbye to Staunton but it went well. ON Wednesday morning we were going to visit an investigator that we hadn't taught for a while to say goodbye. We ended up having a really good conversation and ended up teaching her the restoration because she had so many questions about everything. It was awesome. She told us about her experience with missionaries in Puerto Rico (this is the same lady I wrote about a few months back that we knocked on her door right after she had been praying for us) and then she told us in the car that she just bought, there were Mormon pamphlets stuffed in the owners manual! We all agreed it was a sign and then she agreed to meet with the elders! It was awesome!
Our two our drive to transfers was very interesting... haha... I sat with a suit case on my lap and the AC stopped working so we had the windows open the whole time.. My hair was not super awesome after that! haha!
My new companion is Hermana Clark! She is so awesome! She is 12 weeks ahead of me on the mission and has been an STL for a while so she knows the ropes. WE have been busy with doing stuff with the other sisters in the zone and then we had a meeting in Richmond on Friday. We are teaching several people here and I have met quite a few of them and they are so awesome. I am so excited to be working here! I am excited to work with the sisters here and get to know them better! It is really going to be a great six weeks.
We have a car in this area, a chevy malibu 2017 and its super nice but we also are able to use bikes! So we went out with the bikes and boy am I out of shape but I am so glad we will be able to use them sometimes!
Church here was great. The members are so awesome and two of our investigators came. A 9 year old and a 12 year old came to church. Their mom didn't want to come so they came by themselves and sat through sacrament meeting! There is a lady here whose name is Santa Costa and she is from Italy. She wanted me to ask dad if he knows her haha because I told her that he served there... So dad, do ya know her? lol I am attaching a picture. She doesn't really speak spanish but we had a conversation with her speaking italian and me speaking spanish so that was exciting!
We have started to put an emphasis on the Book of Mormon and really using the power it contains more in this work. It has really helped me reflect on the truthfulness of the book and how it truly is another testament of Jesus Christ. Through the Book of Mormon, I know that He lives and that because he overcame death, we will too. I love my Savior.
