Familia y amigos,
This
week. Well. It was a great week. But I don't actually remember a lot of
what happened...probably because I am obscenely exhausted.
Last
Monday, Sister Arnold decorated our apartment for Christmas.. Which,
you know, I'm not super excited about, because it's not past
Thanksgiving. But such is life. Our apartment is all festive and
whatnot. So that's that.
On Tuesday we had Zone
Conference, the Zuni Sisters sang and then two random elders sang with
us. Everyone said that it sounded good. So that was fun. Zone Conference
itself was good. I learned a lot of good stuff. :)
On
Wednesday we went to the temple! Because we go the first Wednesday of
every month when we're serving in the metro area. So I'm super glad I'm
serving here right now so that I can go to the temple. The Denver temple
is BEAUTIFUL. I love it so much. Then Sister Arnold and I went to
Deseret Book afterwards, which is always fun.
Thursday,
Friday, and
Saturday
are all really a blur. Missionary life. One night though, we came home
and our apartment complex smelled like weed. So that's fun.
Sunday though. Man,
Sunday
was a good day! We had an investigator come to church! :) Carolina. The
sisters here have been teaching her for a bit before I got here, and
evidently she was super set in her ways. Didn't want to ever give up her
Saints. BUT. We taught her this past week, and she's been reading in
the Book of Mormon and she said the closing prayer, and it was such a
beautiful prayer. And then she came to church yesterday. :) She's
progressing so well, and I am so, so happy! She's so amazing! Also, the
Elders in our area handed off one of their investigators to us (because
she's a 19 year old girl), but the four of us went to teach her
yesterday. Guys. This girl is so solid! She's reading, and praying, and
she knows that what we're saying is true. She is GOLDEN. I am so excited
to see her progress. I LOVE THE PEOPLE THAT WE TEACH!
Denver, Colorado. What a great place to be.
One
thing that I've decided is really important for you all to know is
that: I've been speaking in a British accent for a few days now. Sister
Arnold and I decided
on Friday
that we should do companionship inventory in a British accent, because
she HATES comp. inventory. So we decided if we did it in a British
accent it would be a whole lot less painful for her. So, then somehow we
ended up deciding that we would speak in a British accent for a week.
And it's been fun.
Also, I'm sure you're wondering about the
subject line. And I now inform you that it is really mostly an inside
joke between the Zuni District. There's this song called My Name Is
Hope, and it's really, really dramatic and funny. So great. But there's
this really great piano/violin/flute instrumental in the middle of it.
Basically, we all make videos of ourselves playing air instruments to
this part. It's really funny, and now I realize that it sounds really
dumb. But missionaries have to get creative to keep life interesting,
okay?
This is the last week of the transfers! That's
crazy. President told us at Zone Conference that he doesn't know what's
going to happen to our district. So I'm nervous. Because this district
is so great. I love it so much. But all shall be well. Zuni District
will always be great.
I hope everyone is having a great
week, continues to have a great week, and is so happy! Also reading
their scriptures all the time. :) The Book of Mormon is the best.
