"!Hola hola soy Mormona¡"
So one of our recent converts, Estela comes to church in really nice
dress suits, she never wears dresses or skirts or anything like that.
So we were out in the foyer waiting for our investigators to show up
to sacrament meeting and in walks Juan and Estela and Estela was
wearing the cutest dress ever! We were so happy and telling her that
she looked so good and she just looks at us and poses and says "Me
nombre es Estela Fuentes y soy mormona!" And ever since then she just
smiles and says "!hola hola soy Mormona¡" I LOVE IT!!! :) Makes me so
happy!
Ok so holy cow! Before my mission I seriously didn't know a thing
about the World Cup..like let's be real..it's me! So we go over to a
members house (this was a couple of weeks ago) and their house was
decorated in Mexican colors and I was just like what is going on!?
And they were like it's the World Cup!! Duh! I'm like--oh how fun! I
bet you guys are going to have a fun weekend! Haha they told me that
it wasn't just a weekend thing and that it lasted for like a month! I
told them a month of FOOTBALL would kill me and then they said that it
wasn't the Super Bowl it was the World Cup! Like SOCCER! Hahahah oh my
gosh! Who raised me anyways?? :) Thats ok though because guess who
knows everything now about the World Cup!! They said the Super Bowl is
like a Sunday school party compared to the World Cup! I thought that
was pretty funny. And BTW Mexico is out :) But the US is still in! So
that's good!
Yesterday we were lucky enough to get our investigator to church
because the game with Mexico in the World Cup ended just in time for
church! She was really upset though because Mexico had lost. It was a
sad day for our branch yesterday!
It was funny because on Saturday we had a branch activity at the park
and one of the branch members drives his car up as close to the curb
as he could get and blares the radio news for the World Cup! We were
just laughing. It was great.
Saturday was so fun! We had the activity with the branch and had
hotdogs and played a couple of games and then later that night we had
a surprise birthday dinner for Juan. It was a late birthday surprise.
His birthday was this past Tuesday and so Estela had planned a huge
birthday surprise party for him on Saturday. We were all able to go to
that and we actually had an investigator there! (Remember Josè?) I
love Juan and Estela! They are so great! On Tuesday we wanted to sing
to Juan but we weren't able to go over until later that night and he
wasn't home then so Hermana Palmer and I heart attacked his car! He
loved it and said that that made his whole night and that he was going
to keep our notes forever! How fun is that?!
This week is going to be so busy! We get transfer doctrine this
weekend! I might be
leaving Woodland!!! We shall see! It's defiantly mixed feelings for sure.
I hope you enjoy this week and have a happy happy happy Fourth of July!!!
Love, Hermana Hamblin
