Another week has gone by! This has been a crazy week. It started off
with us saying goodbye to our third wheel, Hermana Wise. It was super
sad, and we have had to make a couple of adjustments but the work goes
on! Hermana Fernandez and I have been working like crazy! We come home
exhausted every night. It's so great.
Last night we had our meet and greet with the stake presidency. They
are so great! They keep us going and keep us motivated. Our stake
president was telling us that he stayed in his first area for his
whole mission! He never changed his area. He was the branch president
for the area that he was serving in. His district stayed the same for
18 months as well. How crazy is that! So his point was that at times
we feel like we have literally talked to everyone and we feel like our
area isn't progressing, but we have to keep going because God is
preparing people for us to teach. He said that after he got over the
fact that he was feeling sorry of himself he and his companion got to
work and baptized 24 people throughout his mission. Anyways they are
great! They are keeping me motivated!
On Tuesday we were headed to an appointment and we saw the NBC news,
they were just shooting from downtown and I told my companion that if
they were still there by the time we were done with our lesson we are
contacting them! Well, our lesson fell through so as we were walking
back I went up and started talking to them. I contacted Mark Matthews
and his crew and we invited them to go check out Mormon.org. It was
fun!
On Sunday morning at 3:19 am we had an earthquake! I don't know if you
all have heard about it! It was crazy! It was a 6.2 earthquake. It
didn't last long, but at first I was seriously so confused at what was
going on. I looked over to see if my companion was ok and at first it
didn't look like she was there so I was thinking...where is my
companion and why is everything shaking?? Haha. At first I thought I
was dreaming but then the electricity went out and then came back on
and I knew that I wasn't dreaming. When it was over we both just kind
of laid back down and went back to sleep. There wasn't an after shock
or anything and for some reason I wasn't worried about another one
happening. I was seriously just out of it! It was quite the
experience. That was Hermana Fernandez first earthquake too!
Anyways, love you all!!
Love, Hermana Hamblin
