Ok so this week was so fun! Guess what we did!!! We went to the Golden Gate Bridge :) The sisters asked if we could help them blitz the bridge. We were like, fine if we have to ;) Oh my goodness! We were taking videos and pictures...hopefully President Alba never gets ahold of the videos or pics that we took. We totally looked like tourists. We really couldnt help it though. It was so cool! We sang the Full House song over and over again :) Haha. It was beautiful!! I cannot wait to come back and drive across the bridge! We decided that when we come back we are going to get a red convertible and drive across the bridge just like they do in Full House! We also went into the other mission on accident. Right in the middle of the bridge the mission splits so if you go past the middle you are in the other mission... But we really didnt know! We got distracted! Anyways we are so excited. We get to back Friday night :) #soexcited
Last night was one of the scariest nights on my mission! So we have this investigator, his name is Chato. He is just kinda sketchy. We made a promise that every time we teach him we would bring a member with us. Well last night we were on our way to the lesson and the member texted us and said that she wasnt going to be able to make it. We decided that we should just go ahead and do the lesson anyways because we were already there. So we park and go to his apartment. Well this apartment complex is super sketchy and it was like 8:30 at night and my companion is contacting this random guy and I start talking to Chato because I saw him..haha anyways so Chato had a friend and his friend was a little drunk..anyways to make the story short we ended up in this laundry room and the guy that was freaking us out was like blocking the door and so I got him to move and we finally got out of there because the spirit was like yelling at us to get out of there!! We didnt even teach the lesson but I was so scared! I was shaking and we were both just freaking out. It was so scary, but family! The spirit works and never ignore a prompting! Like ever. the spirit is there to guide and direct you and keep you safe! Uh! We were a little bit shaken up last night but we are good. Nothing bad happened, it just got super sketchy! We both learned the importance of the spirit though.
On a brighter note we taught a super powerful lesson on Saturday night! We taught one of our investigators, Marta about the priesthood and the spirit was super strong, but she still denied our invitation to be baptized. She gets offended when we explain that she wasn't baptized by the proper authority. Its super sad :( Oh well we will just keep praying for her!
We also picked up a new investigator. She was a missionary referral who wanted a spanish BOM and so we went over to her house and she just started bashing. Her granddaughter (who is 21 years old) was listening the whole time. We just testified of the BOM and we shared Moroni 10:3-5 with her and by the end of the lesson she agreed for us to come back! The crazy part is at the very end of the lesson her granddaughter who was quiet the whole time said that she was an active member in OUR spanish branch!! #embarrassing #becausewedidntrecognizeher The reason why we didnt recognize her is because she is always in nursery. Anyways we are hoping that she can keep interest in the lessons and that hopefully we can one day baptize her!!!
Ok another awkward moment...haha ok so we were in a lesson with our 13 yr. old investigator whose name is Nick. We are just trying to bond with the kid, so we start the lesson off with a joke! At the punch line he just looks like at us with a straight face and guess what. He didnt laugh. Like at all. Oh my goodness. It was so embarrassing! Haha we were just laughing and he was just sitting there. Haha oh my goodness! We were like Nick! Wasnt that funny!? that was funnny!!! His aunt gave us a pity laugh so that made the situation a little bit better :) Oh family. Pray for us! Haha
OK! Well I think that is it! I hope that you have a great week :) I love you all! Love, Hermana Hamblin
