Okay so its been forever since I've written in an email because my last Pday was changed so yeah sorry about that. Anyway it's been a WILD week and a few days.
On Sunday I went to the YSA ward for the first time and got to meet everyone. It's so weird because they're all super close to my age, and it's just so different to be around them. Its super fun though! Although I've found I can connect with the adults a lot easier now because all the YSA people talk about new trends and all this stuff that I know nothing about hahaha.
On Monday I got to drive to the airport a few times to pick up the new missionaries! It was super fun. Except, I drove a U-Haul and parked it in the pick up lane at the airport, and we went inside to pick up the missionaries. After awhile, the airport announced that a U-Haul was about to get towed, so we went outside and talked to a cop who was investigating our Uhaul. He started yelling at us and told us he thought we were terrorists. He called the bomb squad to come investigate the trailer haha it was wild.
On Tuesday we did a huge orientation with all the new missionaries, and it was fun to help them try and get comfortable with the new mission life. I was also in charge of making sure that all the missionaries got to their new areas that day, so it was stressful but it all worked out!
So it was a super busy week and we didn't have tons of time to proselyte at the beginning. It's also a little tough right now because all of the college students have moved home for the summer, but there's still some people here for summer school. In the end of the week, we spent a lot of time at Texas Tech just talking to everyone we could see. It was so much fun, it's definitely one of my favorite parts of the work. We found tons of potentials, and over the weekend gave out around 15 copies of The Book of Mormon!
We found a new girl named Kavazzeeyah (Good luck with that name) and she wants to be baptized! She wasn't able to come to church on Sunday because she had to drop her cousins off at the airport, but she was very upset and wants to come. She has no problems with the word of wisdom or law of chastity, and she is just so prepared! Everyone pray for KK that she can come to church and be baptized in the next few weeks!
On Sunday we spent a lot of time preparing Zone conferences, and then we also went to the cemetery with one of our members to visit his Mom. He shared his and her story, and how he feels so alone and comfortless. We were able to bear our testimony of Jesus Christ to him and the spirit was so strong. He was in tears and told us he feels like he needs to serve a mission. He's starting his papers this next week!
Sorry it was kind of long and quick, and not too eventful. I love yall! Talk to ya next week!
