Friends & Family,
Wow, I love Gloucester Virginia! It is amazing! This week was hard, emotional, fun and exciting!
So I got to Gloucester on Thursday
and went straight to work. There are so many Hispanics I am so excited
for my Spanish to get better. First my new companion, Hermana Nord is so
great! She helps me so much! She has taught me so much in the last 4
days. I am so blessed for her in my life! :)
So we have around 12 Investigators. All Spanish but 1 I think. So Friday
night rolls around and we are in a trailer with 4 men and a member with
us. They are the funniest people EVER. So a huge storm comes and the
trailer is shaking and I am freaking out! Then the lights went out. I
have never taught in the dark before. It is hilarious. haha They knew I
was scared so they kept messing with me saying a tornado was coming and
people are behind me! haha As you all know, I am a baby!!!! and I'm okay
to admit it!!! haha :) That was a funny event.
So
there is a restaurant here called "Salsa's" It is soooo yummy! Best
Mexican food... NO JOKE. We have 5 investigators that work there and so
we go there during their breaks and teach them and they always give us
food and won't let us pay! haha they are all so funny!! I love them! It
is so crazy how I've become to love people so fast!!! :)
This
ward is great! They are so much fun! We had a HUGE BBQ! and we ate this
families pig.... it was so weird but the best BBQ I have ever had. So
we went to eat at the Bishops house and there were dogs barking like
crazy. I didn't think anything of it and my companions says don't worry
they are really nice! and I'll admit I was a little scared. This Big
chocolate lab came behind me, I didn't see him and he BIT MY LEG. hahaha
I was so surprised I was like what the heck? Did he really do that. So
we walk inside and the wife said, "did he attack you?" I said, "yeah,"
and she said "WHAT?" She has never bit someone before. haha I guess the
dog didn't like me.. Now I can officially say that I have been bit by a
dog. It's a real missionary moment. Funny moments! :)
As
I was studying the Book of Mormon I came across these verses, Alma 7:
22-24. I love these verses so much. It is all the Christ-Like
Attributes that we need. I don't know about you all but I need help on
all these! It is so important to try to develop all of these Christ like
attributes. I pick one a month and try so hard and focus on just one a
month. It is amazing! I have learned so much!
I love this church, Book of Mormon, this Area, my companion!
I am so happy and I hope ya'll are too!! :)
Con Amor,
