Hola! So this week has been crazy. I gave my first talk at church! Ahhh....Our branch president called me on saturday night and told me i would be giving a talk on how to maintain our worthiness that had to be at least 10 minutes. Yaaa. i went into panic mode. You know me....it takes me HOURS to write talks and stuff. Haha. And i only had that night (1 hour) and personal study in the morning to write it. Ha seriously so stressful for me. haha plus we got a call on saturday that we had to teach the gospel principles class that all the investigators and recent converts go to. So we had to prepare for that too. ahhh. Well i was literally writing sentence by sentence while sister Garn translated sentence by sentence. Ha well i did it! I wasnt even able to go through it all the way before i had to give it though. But it went well. and i talked for 13-14 minutes so that was good! And our gospel principles class went well. and i also got asked to give another training this week...it was suppose to be today but it got changed to tomorrow because it is snowing super bad today so we cant drive. Also i had an exchange this week and i went to the english area for this one. It was weird. But good! I learned a lot. But i also learned that i have soooo much to work on. But i kind of already knew that. haha. But one of our lessons was crazy. We had it in a popeyes because the investigator is homeless. Hes way cool! His 2 friends were there as well! It was crazy. One of them was SO stoned. It made it kind of hard to teach. crazy experience. And we also found another investigator for them! whoo! We found a new investigator as well! Whoo! We contacted her on Sunday night! She was actually a "referral" from the union city sisters and she just moved into our area! sHe is fantastic! sHes sooo happy it makes us so happy. ha. But she already wants to be baptized and we just barely taught her the restoration yesterday! Shes awesome! We havent met her husband yet but he is a super strong member! So we are really excited about her! We have a lesson with Martin tonight (our investigator that we have set to get baptized this next sunday) PRAY FOR HIM! He still hasnt given us a 100% yes but we think it is going to happen! We are going over the baptismal questions tonight! PRAY! We went to Ellis island yesterday for training to help with some family history. Thats why i didnt email. SHout out to MOM & JED! The Newly weds!!! whooooo whooo!! and Shout out to DAD for the GPS (THANKS SO MUCH) & And shout out to DANA & EVERYONE who helped with the quilt! I LOVE IT!!!! I love you all so much!!!! Have a fantastic week!
