I am so sorry to hear about the shooting. That is so sad. I am happy to hear that everyone is ok. I will keep little Round Valley in my prayers.
This has easily been the best week of my mission! I guess Willits is the place to be :) So lets start with last Monday! Last Monday we were having dinner with mama PJ so we ordered a pizza from Papa Murphy's and we walked to Safeway to pick up some drinks. As we are walking into Safeway, I see Elder Wright (one our AP's), then I see his other two companions and then I see President Alba! In the little Safeway here in Willits! Haha I was like.."What!?" So I walked over to them and I asked them what they were doing in Willits and Elder Morley was like "What are you doing here!?" I told him I was in my proselyting area haha doing what I was supposed to be doing! Turns out that they were on their way to Eureka to do some exchanges up there. It was SO random! We never see other missionaries here in little Willits so that was awesome! And to see President! haha is was great!
Well, so then on Thursday we had our temple trip. My companion and I walk into the chapel and as we are going to sit down I see President and Sister Alba and all three of the AP's sitting in the back row! Being that we are the only sisters in our zone, I got to sit right next to Sister Alba throughout the session. That was the best/spiritual experience. I am telling you, Heavenly Father answers our prayers. Being with Sister Alba we were able to talk a little bit and I told her how special this temple trip was for me because this was my very last temple trip as a missionary and I got to spend it with the Albas. She explained that she and President Alba don't just go to the temple all the time with the missionaries, they just happened to have time to go with the Ukiah Zone. She was also telling me that she and President Alba were sealed in the Oakland temple :) how cool is that! I love them. I was able to see Sister Alba's testimony of temple work shine as we were together in the session. She kept saying to me that she was so happy to be there with us :) When we were sitting in the celestial room President Alba shook every missionaries hand. When he got to me and Hermana Burton, he smiled and said, "It has been a pleasure seeing you twice in one week" and added, "separate occasions of course". They are awesome.
But it doesn't stop there! As you know, yesterday was the craziest day of my mission thus far :) haha oh my goodness! I walk into the chapel and we are talking to our investigator and I just look up and guess who randomly walks into the chapel! President Foote! Haha I was like, "What!?!" He saw me and just started laughing :) He was like no way! Haha he had thought that I had already gone home from my mission and so that was a complete surprise to him! He said that they were in Ukiah for the night and Sister Foote said that she didn't want to go to the 11 church (in Ukiah) and that they should go check out the church in Willits and so they did! I sat by Sister Foote in Relief Society and all. It was SO funny! I guess they are on their way to Eureka as well :) That was so fun to see and HUG a person from home :) They are so great!
Anyways this is going to be another great week for us! We have the baptism of April and Pepper this week :) Yay!! We are so excited! We found a new investigator last week and we set a date for him too! Willits is on fire! I love it here!
I hope you all have a great week and travel safe! And BTW who did my challenge from last week!? It was to hand out a BOM. If you didn't do it, which I am assuming you didnt because no one replied to that then do it this week! Seriously!
Love you all! Love, Hermana Hamblin
