So, my first transfer is over and I'm staying in Aurora! Which is exciting but a little scary at the same time because I'm companions with Hermana Adams and she's only been out for two transfers - her first transfer was here in Aurora and her second one was in an english speaking area, so basically we each only have 6 weeks of speaking spanish!!
Haha yesterday when the ward member found out that it was Hermana Adams and I staying there were a few of them that came up to us and were like, "if you need anything just call me. You can come over to our house any time you need to." And I'm sure they were thinking, "oh my heck, these poor sisters need all the help they can get..." and it's true! Hahaha :)
Hermana Adams and I dropped Hermana Lopez off at the mission home last night and she is currently on an airplane on her way home to Texas! Soooo crazy.
We all got to go to the temple last Friday for the departure session with President and Sister Ely. It was nice to go to the temple again! I got used to going every week in the MTC. It's a really pretty temple.
I really wish I could somehow convey people's voices over email because there are some stories that would be so much funnier if you could hear the people saying them! I will tell you this story and hope that it's still funny even though you can't hear the lady's voice :)
So the Relief Society president in our ward is this crazy old lady who speaks pretty good english but she has a super heavy accent. She's a nanny for the bishops kids who are CRAZY! I feel bad for her that she has to watch them because they're just wild little children.
So the other week were eating at her house and she was talking to us in english and she was talkin about how crazy the kids were being the day before and she said "sometimes I just have to threathen them that I'll do things I really never would do just so they'll listen to me! Like yesterday it was time for their nap and Yesenia and Kimberly were jumping on the their beds and I said, 'if you two don't stop jumping and go to sleep I'm going to go get the dog leash, tie you up in the closet and shut the door!'
And Kimberly real quick laid down and went to sleep, but Yesenia, oh Yesenia, she just wouldn't stop! So I grabbed her and put her in the closet and said, 'you stay right here! I'm going to get the dog leash!' and she looked up at me terrified and said, 'no! Hermana, I'll go to sleep! I promise!' so I said, 'you better!'"
Hahaha we were laughing SO hard when she was telling us this story! She's the craziest old lady! She said she has to tell the bishop that his daughters will tell him stuff she almost did to them, but not to worry about it because she never will, she just had to threaten them! Haha :)
So we've got two baptisms set for July 2nd, Cesar and Nancy, and one on the July 9th - my personal favorite, Genesis! The other day one of the elders asked me who my favorite investigator was and before I could answer Hermana Lopez was like, "I know - Genesis!" Haha she's just so cute :) She's such a good kid and she just wants so badly to be even better! She came to church yesterday too! She says she really likes it :)
The missionaries actually started teaching her mom before her and her mom has to work every sunday and Gensis is just so sad that her mom's not able to go to church. And I was about to drop her mom as an investigator because she just seems to lack motivation to change, she likes hearing our message and participating, but she just doesn't do stuff like read and pray unless we're there. But I'm hoping that seeing her daughter get baptized will give her the motivation she needs.
Well, this is kind of a boring letter, but not a whole ton happened this week!
I love you all very, very much :)
