Hola amigos!
We got to go on a road trip this week to deliver a Book of Mormon... we got to drive an hour! It was super fun and super pretty. I love Virginia!
This week was a lot of planning, Thanksgiving, more planning then the fiesta! We had 2 meals in thanksgiving. The first one was with a family that has lived here for a while so it was a super traditional and super yummy. Then we had weekly planning and during weekly planning we made cookies for the fiesta. So many cookies and brownies. then we had dinner at another members house! Instead of a turkey we had a chicken and some super yummy Hispanic food. Then we went to the church and cleaned up the church so we could actually have a party there!
Then the next day was devoted to the party! We had district meeting and immediately started setting up. We had decorations and a photo shoot... We had a bunch of less actives come so that was really great. Sadly not many of our members came which provided a lack of food so we had to run and get pizza but it wasn't bad! Our recent converts (Christopher and Gerardo...they got baptized a couple of weeks ago)run parties for a living and they ran the show for us. The best part of the party was that a family came that we had no idea who they were. They said they heard about the party from a friend that heard about it on Facebook! So that is awesome... They want to come to the ward Christmas party and seemed really interested in the church. So we didn't have a ton of people there but the party was a success because we found that family. It was so awesome.
I will send more pictures of the part when we get them from Christopher and Gerardo. We aren't sure if we will be doing more parties like that but we will be doing more social events because its definitely a way to get people to come!
Our next transfer is next wednesday! Hermana Coleman will most likely be transferred!
I love Hermana Coleman so much because she is such a humble trainer. And we are always laughing together. Always. We always find the positive in the situation and we always have fun!
This week I was humbled. Not in a tough time or anything I just felt Heavenly Father telling me that I need to rely on him because I can't go through life without Him. I know that God is mindful of us and that he loves us so much.
