HOLA
So with a new year, I have a new name. All the Hispanics just call me Hermana Mo. I think it's cute! Well I think I'll stick to talking about investigators since I don't do it nearly enough! I'll be using pseudonyms of course!
First of all is Marilyn. Her parents were baptized about a month ago and they are on fire! She just started really reading out of the Book of Mormon (like 5 chapters a day) and I can see her heart softening to the message, and she can too! When the missionaries first came to their house she thought they were annoying and didn't want a thing to do with the church and now she's like a sister to us! We love her and she loves us and she's been seeing the change in her parents and wants it too!
Second is Brett, our only English investigator. He comes from a really rough background but I have so much respect for him for how he's dealt with it all. It's funny, whenever we teach him and commit him to do something he always says "Aw man, that's horrible!" He's told us that he calls it horrible because he knows he has to do it because now he knows it's the right thing to do! And then he does it! He's going to church! (Even with the time changing to 9 haha) He definitely has a special place in my heart!
Last of all is Josephine. She lives in one of the more sketchy areas of Royal. She has 19 dogs. AND 3 ARE PREGNANT. She is the sweetest though! She had never met the missionaries before, but the spirit was sooo strong in our first lesson. We were all crying! She wants to learn more before she decides on anything though, which is understandable. I can't wait to teach her more!
As for crazy stories....umm... New Year's Eve I watched Sister Bernson eat wheat crackers and cottage cheese. And we drank some bubbly! (Sparkling cider, don't worry mom!) We realized we have forgotten how to have fun, so now when we have extra time at night we're making these goofy videos of us that will most definitely be going up on Youtube when we get home!
I hope you are all having a safe and fun year! Don't have too much fun though!
Muchos abrazos y besos,
