It's been a neat week! Elder and Sister Brewster went home, and we are sad, but we had a lovely going away party for them, and Elder Brewster got permission to hug each sister on Saturday before he left! (I managed to get 2!) I will miss them so much, but we are already so happy to know the new director and his wife, the watsons!
I got to take a tour on Saturday that was really neat. A lady came in to do some Geneology (we have a specialist who helps people with it) and After she told me she wanted a tour. She had taken tours several times, but said she'd like another. I took her around. It was one of those tours where you spend most of the time just chatting, not necessarily giving a "tour"... She was realy neat. We went to the memorial room, and she said it was her favorite spot. I asked her some questions and one of them was about how she felt the temple had blessed her life. She then told me she wasn't active. After that she told me lots of things about herself, and really confided in me. I could tell that she felt a need for the gospel back in her life, but she was scared. I invited her several times to go back to church and asked her if I could send the missionaries to her. She informed me that she had their number and would call them sometime. She wouldn't tell me what ward she was in. Even after all of that she continued to tell me things and would just cry. I felt for her. I really wanted to help her, but she was too scared....
Sunday was a GREAT day. We were studying in the morning, and Itzel texted us, and told us that fredi wouldn't be able to make it to church, but she wanted to go and bring her daughters anyway! We were so excited that she was willing to come even without fredi! She came, and we could tell she was stressed out with her super active little girl running around, but she did everything in her power to listen to what the speakers were saying. It was really cool! After church, she reminded us of when we asked her to be baptized a long time ago, and she told us she wanted to be baptized! We were ECSTATIC!
Yesterday was lots of fun, Sister Kunz's birthday was on Sunday, so our zone snuck into their house and decorated for a birthday party and surprised her! The elders got a little Streamer-happy, and created a pink masterpiece in her kitchen! She was so cute and asked president if she could keep it up until after Transfers!
speaking of transfers... they are this week. Everyone keeps saying I will train... Heaven help me.... I have come to realize that guessing is pointless. I have no idea what will happen! I don't think Sister Brady will become a grandma just yet ;) Sadly, Sister Stanger's and my habit of moon-walking will have to come to an end.
I love you all! write me! Make a mormon.org profile, k?
