What a week!
Alright. We'll start at the beginning.
So, on Saturday we went to see Sister H, because she just had a
surgery on her sinuses. Had to make sure she was doing alright!
Her friend from New York, Marie, is staying with her and helping
her out. Sister H told us to come back on Tuesday and teach
Marie the Restoration. We were excited! But, a little nervous,
because we didn't know much about Marie. Just that she's from
New York and has a sweet accent!
So we go over, the spirit was there. It was amazing! We then made
plans to go to the Temple Visitor Center the next day. Again, amazing!
We watched 'Joseph Smith, the prophet of the restoration'. We all
felt the spirit so strong! That video gets me every time. EVERY TIME.
I was bawlin' like a baby. (:
But rewind, while we were at Sister H's on Tuesday, we were eating
dinner when the phone rang. It was Sister Phelps calling to tell Sister
H that Maria, a friend that had been staying with her, from Baltimore,
wants to get baptized! Sister H says "Well hold on one sec..."
And then hands the phone to me. We were so excited! We went over
the next day, taught her the restoration. She knows it's true! We set a
date for Baptism. The 23rd of this month! WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!
Maria is solid. We love her to death!!
With all of that happening, we were in the midst of packing, and
moving! We found out on Monday night that we would be moving on
Thursday by 2:00. So, really, we had 48 hours to pack and clean the
apartment. It was so much fun! It took us about 2 hours to pack all of
our stuff up, clothing, and food..stuff like that. Then it took us 4-5 hours
to deep clean the whole apartment! That place was spit spot clean by
2:00 Thursday.
So, we moved out of our apartment on and the Elders moved in. We
moved into a new apartment on 1st Avenue, and it is so adorable!!
It's a split house...we get the upstairs, and a family lives beneath us.
We have 2 bathrooms. 3 Bedrooms. A spacious kitchen. And a huge study
room! I'm not making this up. We are totally spoiled. Plus, our Landlord
is so sweet! He lives in San Fran, but his extended family lives beneath us.
They're so sweet (: They speak Spanish, so some times there's a little bit
of a language barrier, but hey...the gift of tongues is real ;) haha.
Oh! And we have a car full time now! Elder Bell and Elder Larsen were
shotgunned out of the area, into Brooklyn Park. The Brooklyn Park Elders
came here, and they're Zone Leaders. All leaders have to have cars full time.
Which means, we get a car full time, too. It's weird.
We don't sweat...we can do our make up....haha. I kind of actually miss it,
though. I love biking.
That's about it family (:
The work is moving along!
