Ok, seriously this week went by sooo fast. Anyways, i have like no
time, but hey, it’s all good! Loved Madison’s letter!!! She’s finishing
training!!! Jajaja that is so great. She is sooo funny. I showed her picture to
Hermana Huber, one of the other hermanas who lives with us, and she freaked out
jaja. Love my twin, love my fam bam. muah muah.
So this week was cool. Literally did not do anything special for
Thanksgiving jajaja. I read that talk by President Uchtorf from the April
conference! Mom, that was fun that you sent that to me this week! Coincidence
jaja. The highlight of my week was Sunday night. Hermana Gomez, myself, Hermana
Huber and Hermana Alcantara (aka our best friends who live with us and share
the ward) had a Capill Abierta: Venid y Ved. It’s like an open house at a
church building. We did it with a ward that lives in the next stake over (I
think). It’s like a free tour of the capilla and the hermanas teach the very
very basics of what we believe. So fun! There were big poster type things on
tables in the cultural hall with information like the mission of Jesus, the
Restoration, Temples, the Book of Mormon, etc. I was nervous because it was my
first one, but it went well! Elders came too and helped. The tour starts in the
chapel with a life size Christus (spelling??) and we welcome the people and
then listen to a recording of Jesus Christ quoting scriptures and it’s really
spiritual and lovely! Then we take the people to the cultural hall and lead
them to table to table teaching our basic beliefs. Then we take them to the
baptismal fount where there are two elders dressed in baptism clothes who talk
about baptism. It was fun! When we were not giving tours we were on the streets
inviting people to come and see. lolz, good times.
It rained one day this week which was random!!!! We were walking
around like little lost sheep jajaja. Not really! We actually found a new
investigator! Her name is Carmen. She believes in God, but has no definite
religion. We shared with her the restoration, and we are going back on
Wednesday. We’ll see how it goes.
One hard thing that happened this week.... I tried contacting this
one elderly looking man and he totally started to contend with us!!!!! It was
lame.... I had already cried a little that morning and so it was just bad. He
was trying to tell us that if extra terrestrial beings came to the earth they
would think our god was the economy...for the record I did not understand that
part! Hermana gomez told me most of what he said afterwards, but she said I did
well with him.
I love being a missionary. Love it, love it, love it. It is hard
sometimes. It really is. But life is so good here. Jesus is our Savior. REALLY.
He loves us!!! Have a great week. Love you all. xoxo
Love, Hermana Mittleman
